Contemporary

Rooted in modern design, the contemporary look does not resemble it stylistically, allowing for a bit of rule breaking. The result is a celebration of styles and forms that are already ‘existing, occurring or living at the same time, or belonging to the same time’. A focus on lines, planes and angles give contemporary style its energy and showcasing space in an interior becomes an integral design component. Utilized tone-on-tone, neutral schemes allow lines and shapes within a space to take center stage, while taking in a full splash of the colour spectrum. It’s eclectic, certainly, but with an emphasis on comfort.

Industrial

The art of salvage lies within a raw, utilitarian appeal and stripped back architecture that’s been paired back to its fundamentals. The Industrial concept blurs the line between trash and treasure and reveals the enormous beauty in everyday flotsam. Mixing new pieces with reclaimed ones, an industrial look is stark and minimalist without a hint of excess. It is shades of gray with a little black and white thrown in for kicks, creating a crisp, cool, functional sensibility that lends just the right touch of sleekness without feeling too upscale.

Mediterranean

This concept has a timeless feel and creates a stress-free, laid-back atmosphere that is inspired by the Tuscany region in Italy – a classic area of olive oil production and what Tuscans call ‘Casa’ or ‘home’. Casual yet dramatic colour shades mirror the region’s spectacular seascape and landscape, fusing with rich textures that emphasize Southern European flair.

Modern Classic

This is a concept that encompasses tradition and modernity, where classic forms are found in bold, new designs. The introduction of soft earthy tones (blues, yellow, grays and pinks) integrated with natural materials, creates a streamlined look and a clinical feel. The overriding visual appeal plays with the ideals of symmetry and balance, both derived from ancient Greek and Roman cultures. It evokes a beautiful contrast of old and new, without detracting from the serenity and versatility of a space.

Modern Deco

Post war excitement and optimism is realized in the art deco style, which jazzes up the simplicity of modern design with roaring glitz and glam appeal. It is an almost impossible combination of the brash and the intricate, incorporating touches of French, Egyptian and Mediterranean cultures with bold outlines and geometric patterns. Rectilinear and curvilinear forms, together with vibrant colours, forge a sleek, mid-century look that gives a space an instant, lively boost.

Modern Gothic

As the name suggests, this is a dramatic, darker and more macabre form of style, inspired by medieval architecture yet integrated with modern peculiarities. Staying away from excessive detail and the intricacy of Gothic architectural elements, it incorporates geometrical shapes into modern features. This gives a streamlined and trendy appeal, yet one that is shrouded in mystery, with a slight hint of luxury. Bold and rich colours, such as black, gold or deep burgundy, also add a little Victorian chic.

Modern Monochrome

The two most basic and simplistic neutral colours pack a powerful interior design punch and deliver a modern impact to any space. Pairing black and white gives a room real drama and is certain to surprise and delight any viewer. While black sets off a focal point that grounds and anchors, balancing this with white helps to create a fresh, clean, and unquestionably sophisticated look. Together they communicate boldness, strength and power, a combination that shapes a clutter-free and stress-free environment.

Modern Rustic

Tapping into the ‘waste-not, want-not’ mentality of environmentalist movements, this concept aims to satisfy people’s desire for pared down design, which emphasizes unrefined natural materials and recyclables. The result is a delicate mix of clean lines and a palette of wood tones and earthy rustic accents, a unique balance of sleek, airy minimalism and weathered natural charm. The rough-hewn approach also provides a contrast to any modern architectural space and evokes an eco-friendly design with a timeless feel.

Oriental

A wealth of diverse treatments and approaches that is rich in history and tradition. This board is inspired by the Far East, although it most commonly embraces styles from China and Japan. It focuses on a bold use of rich colours, with dominant reds and golds in a calm and neutral setting with natural colours in an earthy palette. It achieves a little drama through sheer simplicity. Evoking a serene and tranquil abode, this style reflects harmony and balance.

Scandinavian

Renowned for its fairly minimalist and subtle decorative qualities that have their origins in the Modernist movement, the clean lines and simple forms of the Scandinavian concept prioritize functionality without eliminating grace and elegance. It relies on lighter, earthy tones to combat darkness, while designs are kept simple and often mimic the environments of Norway and Sweden in their ample use of natural materials. Wood, for example, helps to radiate warmth and has a distinct and homely coziness.

Imagine a true retreat with a relaxing, island-style vibe, blending a spectrum of cultures and customs into a vibrant whole. With the Tropical concept, natural materials and pleasant neutral colours inspired by the sea, sky and tropical flora feature prominently, infusing any space with an exotic flavour. With strong accent colours and indigenous materials, spaces can be transformed into peaceful and tranquil places to relax the body, mind and soul, creating an escape from the frantic pace of modern life.

Urban

Capturing the essence of a cosmopolitan city-dwelling lifestyle, this concept encompasses modern day indulgence and reflects the aesthetics of the diverse backgrounds of its inhabitants, giving an interior a ‘global’ feel. Raw and gritty industrial materials work together with softer and subtler textures and tonal contrasts. This layered approach, combined with similar neutral colours, forms a distinctly modern, bohemian look that makes a living space an irresistible oasis of tranquility.
