A style of interior design focused on balance and proportion, the sophisticated aesthetic of Classic Reverence is rooted in simplicity and symmetry.

Classic Reverence pays homage to Greco-Roman design, traditionally showcasing arched hallways, friezes, marble, daybeds and mural artworks. Features such as an imposing staircase, antique fireplace or unique luxury furniture, become the central focal point to which all other room elements conform.

Decorating pieces include themes from Greek mythology. Vintage mirrors with ornate gilded frames, plus textiles of lush rich fabrics, velvet, silk and cotton deliver a layered neo-classic interior, rich with personality.

Maybe it's a pandemic, or maybe the terrifying rate at which our norms have changed, but nostalgia is one of the most common themes in 2021 interior design.

One facet of this overall inclination for what's old and familiar is 'Classical Reverence.' "This trend is a nod to greco-roman motifs and materials grouped together in a modern cabinet of curiosities" said Elle Lovelock, Home Beautiful's Editor-in-Chief, a style in which elegant forms stand tall against rough plaster finishes for a sophisticated aesthetic informed by the patina of the past.

For those who prefer Gumtree and Facebook marketplace to IKEA, this timeless trend should be second nature. If in doubt, however, simple decor changes can be all it takes. Vera Meharg from Luxaflex Window Fashions, for example, says "Choosing floor- to-ceiling curtains can bring a real touch of visual luxury." For more inspiration, so take styling cues from this effortlessly stylish shoot and let 'classical reverence' rule in your own home.

 

Your Guide to the Most Popular Interior Design Styles

Popular interior design styles are forever changing with the times, but the majority of the classics are here to stay. In this post I wanted to explore a range of the most common design styles I see in people’s homes, as well as give you some insight into a few of the more recent trends that have become contemporary styles in their own right.

 Of course, you’ll note that there are probably a few styles I’ve left out, and many of the ones you’ll explore below can be merged together. I always say that an amazing home is a combination of many styles. But I find the below a great guide to help you hone in on what your fave styles are.

So let’s explore some of the most popular interior design styles happening right now.

1. Coastal

The coastal interior is one of the most popular interior design styles ever, and with good reason. The scheme is inherently calm and soothing on the eye, and yet there’s enough interest to keep the look lively.

While the base colours are whites and creams, the accent colours here are inspired by the sea. Ocean blues and greens mix with deeper indigo, teal and navy tones. 

Interior Trends – Nostalgic Revival – Flooring Fx

Interior Trends – Nostalgic Revival – Flooring Fx A modern revival of homey design elements from the not-so-distant past, nostalgic revival evokes comfort and tradition. Nostalgic revival Reclaiming its style from more innocent times, nostalgic revival plays on a 70’s and 80’s vibe, celebrating the era’s defined architectural shapes and designs to co-exist with modern-day design.

Sometimes you’ll see bright pops of red in a coastal interior design scheme, which takes the style in a more graphic, nautical direction. While some people choose to go obvious with the look (displaying boat motifs and the like), generally the vibe is less literal.

The coastal interior design style is also quite interesting because it features a lot of texture. Timber panels on walls mix with rustic woods and wicker throughout. Hessian baskets, glass bottles, jute rugs and other distressed materials all interplay with one another seamlessly.

Crazy patterns are kept to a minimum, except when it comes to stripes and florals. Both are seen a fair bit in this style, and they mix quite well together.

2. Bohemian

The Bohemian interior design style has morphed and changed so much over the years, but its origins are inherently Moroccan. It’s a relaxed and easy approach to decorating with loads of colour clashing and a somewhat ‘anything goes’ attitude.

The colours are varied in this scheme, but save to say there’s a lot of brights and whites. You’ll see some darker browns in this look in places, but electric pinks and purples, turquoise and red tones all band together to create a visually invigorating aesthetic. It’s not a look for the faint hearted.

The textures in this look are as varied as the colours. Hard textures like woods are often seen in chocolate tones. Aged and worn materials like wicker and leather and bronze are seen a fair bit. Coloured glass is also a strong theme here, as is wrought iron.

When it comes to softer materials, there’s a lot of layering. Rugs on rugs, crochet throws on bedding, woven baskets and macrame.

Pattern is also bold in the bohemian interior design style, with tribal and aztec varieties pretty prominent.

Classic interior design uses all the colors of nature: deep blue, all brown shades, yellow, green, gray. Bright pastel wall hues match the colors of warm wood furniture. All shades of burnt clay are also popular.

Sometimes bright and dark colors are also used – green, dark blue, or blue, contrast with white ceilings, embossed by molds. Black can be used to frame and emphasize some elements in the interior.

The furniture used in this style shines with luxury, like all elements of the classical interior. It’s usually made of quality wood: mahogany, walnut, patterned birch and characterized by regular geometric shapes.

Classic-style furniture is mostly handmade, and can be slightly decorated with classic flowers or lace-like motifs.
