• Think classic furnishings, elegant wallpaper, beautiful curtains, antique accents, patterned or textured rugs and statement lighting

Farmhouse
This style is for the person who loves the design trends of today; barn doors, cotton, and rustic finishes come together to create a welcoming space.
• Farmhouse Style offers a warm, somewhat traditional style that can have a vintage feel
• Farmhouse decor can be combined with a modern style for “farmhouse glam” or it can stay natural to give a shabby chic feel
• Wayfair and Hobby Lobby have a number of farmhouse options
Coastal
This style is for the person who likes their space to feel bright, fresh and airy; clean lines and natural materials create a refreshing and welcoming home.
• Coastal Style is characterized by white, blue, gold, natural tones, and of course, stripes
• This style creates a calm space for you to be at your most relaxed in. From beach house vibes to playful nautical themes, coastal style homes are elegant, refined, and quirky all at once
• Serena and Lily is an example of Coastal Style
Boho/Scandinavian
This style is a twist on the popular Mid-Century Modern style. In this style, you will see clean lines, gentle organic curves, a love for different materials and patterns.
• The color palette of the Boho/Scandinavian design style is black, white, and cream with splashes of accent colors. Furniture lines are linear and minimal and patterns are intermixed to create a comfortable space
• West Elm and Crate and Barrel carry examples of Boho/Scandinavian style
