The possibilities available during home remodeling can be dizzying, but it’s an exciting time to make a new home more livable or update your outdated living space. While there are so many design styles to choose from, there are a handful that are particularly popular today. Below are details on three of them, as well as some design tips. Follow them, and you’ll be ready to create a beautiful space that will wow visitors.

Popular Interior Design Styles

  1. Industrial
    This style is concerned with the underlying structure of buildings, and it often leaves pipes, wires, and the other ‘guts’ of the home bare. Many spaces that use this style have been converted from industrial uses, but even if your house wasn’t a steel plant in its past life, don’t worry! You can still create a chic industrial effect by having a home remodeling contractor expose brick walls, choosing furniture with plenty of metal and leather, and lighting spaces with bulbs dangling from individual wires.

  2. Minimalist
    If it isn’t functional, beautiful, and easy to use, minimalists don’t want it. This style focuses on quality over quantity and has strong roots in Scandinavian design. To create a more minimal space while home remodeling, open up your floor plan by removing nonessential walls, installing light-colored wood flooring, and painting all walls and ceilings white, light gray, or off-white. Fill your home with sleek furniture and add some pops of color with accent rugs, paintings, and pottery.

  3. Farmhouse Rustic
    Prefer a warmer, homier feel? The rustic style may be right for you. One of the most notable features of this style is reclaimed wood, which is often recycled from old barns. This material has many uses and can be incorporated into tables, desks, and flooring. You could even have your home remodeling contractor create an accent wall covered in salvaged wood. For furniture, choose comfortable pieces with warm tones for a relaxing environment.
