One of the things that must be taken into consideration when building or renovating a house is interior design. What is your theme? Of course, your house's architecture is also a top priority, but even more so because that structure and faćade should ideally be aligned with the aesthetic of the interior spaces.
It is a major no-no to hop into a house project without determining these aspects early on in the design process一if you find yourself inconsistent in this matter, you're likely to spend more to make changes later on.
That is not to say, however, that you must limit yourself to only one interior design. After all, designing a house and turning it into a home should be a fun process that celebrates the dwellers' personality and lifestyle, whether a space is big or small. There is a lot of room to mix and match interior design styles to suit your preference better.
This living room exudes a coastal glam look with the solid wood Catali End Table in warm oatmeal finish serving as the focal point in the room; it's seamlessly mixed with luxe elements like the table lamp, wall art and décor, and rug.
While sticking to one design for a cohesive look throughout a property may be the most common advice, you also won't be hard-pressed to find design experts who'll recommend iterations and combinations of aesthetics. Take, for instance, modern or farmhouse industrial, modern boho, mid-century boho, or coastal eclectic.
If you're having a hard time choosing an interior design style, ask yourself: "what is the design that reflects my personality and is something I won't get tired of looking at for years to come?" Answering this truthfully could significantly narrow down your options.
At Pier 1, we make shopping much easier and more efficient by categorizing our products by style. This way, it'll be quicker for a consumer to envision the thematic pieces that mesh beautifully and impeccably with other items or may even serve as accents in a space.
Below are the interior design styles you'll find at Pier 1. Find out what they're about and how to integrate them into your home:
The farmhouse aesthetic immediately calls to mind spaces with a relaxed vibe and neutral color scheme. An interior that follows this style is typically light, bright, airy, and predominantly white. Furniture pieces and décor in rich wood tones and metal are standouts for such spaces. These items come with distinctive elements like barn-style doors, metal corner brackets, exposed hinges, wooden slat design, and 'X' frame or detailing. The farmhouse design may take on a rustic, industrial, traditional, or modern vibe with a few tweaks here and there.
Like the unpredictability and organic vibe of being on a farm, a house that takes cues from its vibe also enjoys the effortlessly cool feel of its mishmash styling. Don't shy away from mixing materials, finishes, and textures. But choose statement, neutral pieces with a distressed look or those that highlight the wood's natural grain or the rough metal finish. Mix them with nature-inspired pieces for a cozier feel, like in the example above, where a chunky, jute rug complemented the stone gray TV stand.

Wood Frame Mid-Century Modern Accent Chair In Gray
Mid-century modern design is one of the most favorite and go-to styles of recent years. The nostalgic, retro design that shot to popularity in the middle of the 20th century has made its way to the present; it remains relevant, thanks to its timelessness. In a sea of furniture options, you'll quickly identify mid-century modern pieces by looking for clean lines, curved designs, geometric or angular shapes, and a combination of manmade and natural materials; the so-called hairpin legs for tables and chairs are common, too.
Simplicity, practicality, and functionality also take the spotlight in this design. These factors starkly contrast with the more opulent styles that were huge the decades before its emergence.

You need not be an expert to know that traditional interior design is trend-defying and, as its root word directly implies, rooted in tradition. This design dates back to the 18th and 19th centuries when ornate, regal, and storied pieces inspired by European aesthetics drew attention.
What one is likely to see in a traditional home are the following: opulent furniture pieces fit for royalty, fireplace accents, dark wood colors, eye-catching jewel hues, intricate and bold prints or patterns, and luxurious fabrics (such as velvet, fur, wool, or silk) whether as upholstery or used for drapes. Visual richness is key in achieving a warm and cozy traditional home, but you should thoughtfully consider what items to put together, so you don't end up with a boring or old-fashioned space.

Modern Boho Solid Wood Spindle Queen Bed
The bohemian style, whether in fashion or interiors, is synonymous with a carefree and playful vibe, creativity, and self-expression. Its history is grounded on and inspired by free-spirited artists who challenged the norms and embraced the unconventional. Boho interior design has always celebrated individuality and welcomed unlikely combinations and layering of textures and patterns from when it became known in France back in the 19th century to now when photos of bohemian interior inspiration are all over social media.
Boho easily comes to mind when the design direction and intention are on the warm, cozy, and homey route, plus a "more is more" approach. The color scheme primarily consists of neutrals一from white to a range of brown, khaki, cream, and tan; these colors can then be enhanced by pops of jewel tones, like in styling a home for Fall when it's ideal for incorporating orange accents. Natural and organic materials are aplenty: rattan, jute, seagrass, wicker, and wood. Remarkable details include fringes, tassels, and macramé. Don't forget to include plants to break the monotony of neutrals.

The glam interior design style is characterized by a luxurious, elegant aesthetic. Here, there is a generous serving of all things shiny, sparkly, lavish, and visually dramatic. Don't be intimidated though; modern interpretations of glam furniture pieces have mastered functionality to a tee, making them approachable despite their upscale appeal.
It's easy to achieve a glamorous space一think of gold or metallic accents, shiny or mirrored surfaces, and intricate detailing like a geometric or quatrefoil pattern and marble textures. If you're being careful not to overdo the gold (because that could end up looking kitschy), introduce gold through small yet statement-making pieces like lighting fixtures, mirrors, wall art with gold specks, or tabletop décor.
The art deco style is an iteration of the glam interior design, which also highlights luxuriousness and decadence through simple yet defined lines, geometric shapes, sunburst designs, and striking patterns like chevron.

Beach Memories by Norman Wyatt Jr. Canvas Wall Art
The coastal interior design style brings to mind the relaxing ambiance of being by the sea. Do not confuse it with nautical, though, as it's much more sophisticated, cleaner, and muted than its more playful and bolder counterpart. In lieu of the nautical stripes of red, blue, and white, what you're more likely to see in a coastal-themed space are subdued stripes of blue and white.
A coastal-style home's color palette anchors itself on a combination of crisp whites, light grays, powdery blues, soothing greens, and earth tones. In terms of materials, there's a good balance of light-washed wood, organic and natural elements like jute and rattan, and light, airy fabrics like linen.
Of course, you can't miss sea-themed décor in this design's equation. The options are canvas wall art depicting calming beach scenery or shell accents.

Choosing the interior design style to tie the look of your interior spaces and achieve a cohesive feel within the home is undoubtedly one of the most fun and exciting parts of building or renovating a house. Take your time picking the one that works best for you and your family. Go for the one that mirrors your personality and makes you feel happy; after all, how your house looks can affect your mood and, ultimately, your and your family's well-being. Do not let yourself be dictated by trends一instead, build with a timeless design in mind.
