Choosing an interior decor style can be fun, but also a little intimidating! Understanding various interior design styles can help you create a space that reflects your personality and preferences.

Here’s a few popular decor styles to help you discover which style best suits you:

Traditional

Rooted in classic European design, traditional style features rich wood tones, elegant furnishings, and symmetrical layouts. Think ornate details and timeless patterns.

Cottagecore

Cozy, romantic, and nature-inspired. Cottagecore captures the charm of rural life with soft florals, vintage finds, handmade touches, and a lived-in, whimsical feel. Some say this is similar to Nancy Meyers or Martha Stewart style as well.

Minimalist

Clean, calm, and clutter-free. Minimalist style focuses on simplicity, neutral tones, and functional design—every item has a purpose, and less truly is more.

Coastal style brings the beach indoors with light, airy colors, natural textures, and nautical elements, creating a relaxed and breezy environment.

I met Michelle while helping her move her neighbor out so my buyers could move in—instant connection! 💫 Since then, I’ve had the joy of helping her sell, buy, and sell again. Any day I get to cross paths with Michelle is a good one! 💚💚💚
