Waterfall City Design and Décor

by definition, they are different regarding
interior design. While modern style focuses
on the elements of a specific design era,
contemporary style offers today’s trends.

Contemporary style is also focused on minimal
detailing and the use of textures. Its main goal contemporary
is to keep the space open by using minimal
and functional furniture on top of black, white
and neutrals. Some splashes of bright colours
are welcome to create a varied space.

Minimalist interior design is one of the most
thoroughly modern design styles. Think
simplicity, refinement and a skilled hand at
sumptuous comfort and functionality. The key
here is to keep rooms spare and well edited,
with no printed fabrics and décor extras that
must serve a dual purpose. Think of a modern
art gallery or museum as a reference, with their
pulled-together approach to filling a space
with minimal essentials that still feature a lively minimalist
sense of organic or abstract drama.

Farmhouse interior design or cottage
design, uses warm, neutral colours as well as
vintage and organic accessory combinations.
Weathered woods, clean lines, open shelving,
shiplap walls, worn paint and rustic metal
finishes like bronze and copper are common
elements of this style.

Select the perfect combination of rustic
and modern elements with warm wood
furnishings, bronze wall sconces, bright white farmhouse
couches and farmhouse sinks. Incorporate
details like a pine bookcase, oak dining table,
mason jars and gingham, floral and striped
textiles throughout the home for a matched
look.

Art Deco, short for the French Arts ‘decoratifs’, is
a style of visual arts, architecture and product
design that first appeared in Paris in the 1910s
and flourished in the United States and Europe
during the 1920s to early 1930s.

When we think about Art Deco interior
design, luxury and opulence often come to
mind since it is frequently used in high-end
hotels, restaurants and cinemas. The bold
and decorative elements of Art Deco interior
design can be fully appreciated in a home with
high ceilings and large windows. art deco
