Design as per your Personality

If you are a charming Personality, not dated & organised then Contemporary & Modern design suits you. Keeping things simple, rigid & yet elegant & classy is your style. You follow trends and love to combine styles. Suits all type of houses.

  1. Contemporary: Clean Straight Lines No curves, casual atmosphere, open spaces, neutral, sharp-edged, in trend and abstract.
  2. Modern: Modern design focuses on minimalism, neutral colors, clean design lines, and environment-friendly materials. To add a bit more it is systematic, hi-fi, classy and expensive looking.

People who love their freedom, peace and are simple. They connect to Minimalist & Scandinavian style. You are social, family-focused and give attention to cultures. Very much suitable for small houses.

  1. Minimalist — In short Simple, Accurate and clutter-free. This theme makes your home feel airy and big. I must say the most difficult one. To get a thought process to it — even the world’s most beautiful and expensive thing if not required in your house is = to “JUNK” to your space.
  2. Scandinavian —White is the color for this theme by adding some popping colors. Furniture in natural tones, natural Lighting is everything & mirrors. Rugs and blankets are also a must, ensuring that your space is warm and welcoming.

Bohemian and Shabby Chic is a girly theme, perfect for a carefree personality too casual and messy. Very much suitable for bachelors and teenagers.

  1. Shabby Chic interiors are mostly delicate, distressed & rustic. Enjoying the smallest details and gives a cozy feel. The color pallet is pastel pink and baby blue, with polka dots, white, cream, florals and love hearts.
  2. Bohemian / Boho: Very trending, too casual. A Bohemian house will have a lot of Plants, colorful, Kroshia Decor, messy and too much sunlight. It is connected to nature.

A Royal personality loves Classic and Traditional theme. love to live a king’s life and old charm. Very expensive lifestyle. Very much suitable for Big houses like Villa.

  1. Classic: Ethnic and classy. It is a blend of both Greek and roman interior design. This designing basically deals with perfect harmony, balance, and order. … Classical interior designing has its own aura and is Never Dated. Makes the house look grand.
  2. Traditional: It is inspired by old looks, it is all about keeping old things “Old is Gold”. It looks elegant and is comfortable. Perfect suit for who loves antiques, classic art pieces, symmetry and other design elements that are rich with history. And very much suitable for Big houses or Villas. Best ex — Jaipuriya or Rajasthani interior.

Rustic or Industrial interior design style suits to charismatic, social and extrovert personality. They love collecting unique things and don’t see value in common things. Color Pallet — Warm neutral shades of brown and grey. Modern industrial designs also contain a lot of whites as well.

  1. Rustic: Industrial, raw, old and unfinished. This is the theme my living area describes. The below pic is of my house and it describes raw and unfinished my personal fav :)
