If you’re considering a home remodel project, one of the first things you’ll need to decide is what style you want. Determining this will help you when it comes time to pick out materials and finishes.

Let’s look at some of the most popular home design styles:

Traditional Kitchen Design

If you prefer that your home has defined spaces with a timeless look, traditional style is the style for you.

For kitchen renovations, traditional style can be distinguished by the detailing on the cabinets and large light fixtures above the island. The traditional kitchen is charming and interesting, but the color scheme tends to be more simple with creamy whites and wood tones.

Flooring in traditional homes tends to be hardwood with simple baseboards. Light fixtures are larger with more detail.

Contemporary Kitchen Design

Contemporary homes tend to have large spaces, interesting angles, and large bright windows. Color schemes in contemporary homes center around neutral tones like white, taupe, or grey. What distinguishes a contemporary style is the fun pops of color and metallic accents.

Mixed textures are what make spaces in the contemporary home look attractive. For example, you can add a colorful wool rug to a simple ceramic tiled floor to add character.

The cabinets in the kitchen are sleek, and the countertop blends seamlessly into the backsplash. Clutter is nowhere to be found in a contemporary kitchen.

Transitional Kitchen Design

If your style is a mix of traditional and contemporary, it’s referred to as transitional. This home has some traditional elements like wooden floors and white cabinets but also has large open spaces that would typically be seen in a contemporary home.

The transitional style home could also have defined living spaces like a traditional home, but with clean, sleek elements. For example, the kitchen could have concrete countertops with a matching backsplash and simple cabinetry. Bathrooms could have a neutral color scheme with marble countertops and tile that look elegant yet simple.

Coastal Kitchen Design

Nothing beats feeling like you live at the beach, even if you’re miles from the ocean. Light, airy spaces define coastal style.

Light oak flooring throughout the home will set the stage for your coastal home. We also like to incorporate wooden chandeliers and coastal-themed sconces into the design. 

Blues and whites tend to be the best color choices for staying in the coastal design theme. These colors make a space seem tranquil, just like you’re relaxing near the ocean.

Bohemian/Eclectic Kitchen Design

A trend that has jumped onto the home design scene in recent years is the bohemian or eclectic style. This style is all about color and textures you wouldn’t ordinarily put together. It’s about as different from the contemporary style as you can imagine. 

We could do a colorful glass tile backsplash in the kitchen to stand out from wooden countertops. You could also add plants to add a natural element and unique art pieces to the walls.

If you want to bring the eclectic style into your living room, you could include hanging pendant lighting, a dark accent wall, and wooden floors arranged in an interesting pattern.
