Furniture Styles- Which ones are really "You"?

Hi there, furniture lovers! Today, we're diving into the wonderful world of furniture styles. Whether you're furnishing your dream home or just looking to complete that corner project, knowing furniture styles can make the shopping experience easier and help you to know where to shop. Full disclosure here, I don't expect anyone out there to be all one style, that isn't what makes your home "you", but knowing you are a modern-beach, or an industrial farmhouse can help you paint a picture of what you want in your home! So let's get started- grab a cup of coffee (I’ll take a caramel macchiato, thanks for asking) and let's explore some of the most popular styles out there!

Mid-Century Modern: Let's kick things off with a blast from the past – mid-century modern. Think sleek lines, geometric shapes, and minimalist vibes. This style emerged in the mid-20th century and has been making a major comeback in recent years. Mid-century furniture is often seen in earthy tones like ambers, browns and golden hues to capture that retro style.

Farmhouse: If you're a fan of rustic charm and cozy vibes, farmhouse style might be right up your alley. Inspired by rural farmhouses and country living, this style is all about warmth, simplicity, and a touch of nostalgia. They also embody the comfy “lived in” look that puts everyone at ease. These furniture pieces usually utilize soft, neutral colors like whites, warm beiges, and light grays paired with natural wood tones to achieve that comfortable charm.

Banks Dining Collection

Traditional: Next up, we have the classics – traditional furniture. Elegant, refined, and oh-so-timeless, this style never goes out of style. Characterized by ornate details, rich materials, and classic silhouettes, traditional furniture adds a touch of old-world charm to any space. Rich, deep colors like mahogany, chocolate browns and cherries are seen on more traditional furniture for a timeless, elegant look.

Contemporary: For those who prefer a more cutting-edge aesthetic, contemporary furniture is where it's at. Sleek, stylish, and always on-trend, this style embraces the here and now. These pieces tend to stick to a clean, monochromatic color scheme with shades of white, black, and gray for a sleek, modern vibe. Add pops of color with bold accent pieces in vibrant hues like electric blue, fiery red, or sunny yellow for a contemporary twist.

Transitional: Can't decide between traditional and contemporary? Enter transitional style. As the name suggests, this style bridges the gap between old and new, blending classic elements with modern flair. Stick to a neutral color palette featuring warm tones like beige, camel, and taupe, and mix in pops of color with accessories in muted shades of blue, green, or terracotta for a transitional look that feels fresh and inviting.

LaCasa Dining Set

Industrial: If you're drawn to urban aesthetics and raw materials, industrial style might be your cup of tea. Inspired by old factories and warehouses, this style embraces metal accents, and reclaimed wood. Industrial furniture plays to shades of gray, charcoal, and black for a bold, industrial feel and combines these with touches of rich brown for warmth.

Urban Gold Office Collection

Rustic: Last but not least, we have rustic style. Inspired by nature and the great outdoors, this style celebrates the beauty of raw, natural materials. Earthy tones like warm browns, deep greens, and burnt oranges are perfect for capturing that cozy, cabin-inspired vibe. Mix in touches of rustic reds, golden yellows, and rugged blues to create a space that feels warm and inviting.

San Antonio Bedroom Collection

Shaker: Known for its simplicity and craftsmanship, Shaker style furniture emphasizes clean lines and functional design. Stick to a palette of muted earth tones like warm browns, soft greys, and creamy whites to complement the simple elegance of Shaker furniture. Add warmth with touches of rich cherry or walnut wood for a timeless look that never goes out of style.

Modular Office Collection

Coastal: Bring the beach vibes home with coastal style furniture. Inspired by seaside living, this style is all about light, breezy colors and natural textures. Think soft blues, sandy beiges, and crisp whites, paired with weathered wood and nautical accents for that laid-back coastal charm. Add pops of coral, turquoise, or seafoam green for a fresh, beachy feel that's perfect for waterfront homes or anyone dreaming of a coastal escape.

Creating a space that combines different styles creates something that individually you and visually interesting! So be you and play with the styles and colors that bring you joy and makes YOUR house a home! So go ahead, find your style, pick your colors, and make your space YOURS!
