Something you may see everywhere on social media recently is the emphasis on choosing a decorating aesthetic for your home. A home decorating aesthetic is one cohesive feel you implement in your home through a color palette, decorative object styles, and more. Here are a few unique aesthetics to consider and tips for knowing if they fit your personal style.
Minimalist
There are so many popular interior design styles right now, and minimalist may feel like it’s on its way out. Minimalism may have fallen from the most popular home décor scene, but the trend and calm feeling that accompanies it are far from over. The minimalist aesthetic emphasizes keeping only what you need and putting everything out of sight unless you’re actively using it. You may be the right person for the minimalist feel if:
Clutter gives you anxiety.
You like everything to have a place.
You love cleaning out closets and drawers.
You don’t hesitate to throw things out or donate them.
Bright, open spaces make you feel at ease.
Art Deco
It’s officially the roaring ‘20s again, so the art deco style is coming back. While it’s not the go-to style of mainstream homes quite yet, this trend is sure to catch some traction. The art deco trend emphasizes luxury and glam. It’s the perfect blend of over-the-top decor, color, and excitement. The art deco aesthetic might be for you if:
You love mirrored surfaces.
Pops of color are your favorite.
You can’t imagine having to downsize your closet or your décor.
Feathers, sequins, glitter, and anything daring are your go-to decoration items.
You have a bold, outgoing personality and want your home to reflect that.
Moody
The moody aesthetic is one that’s just beginning to emerge on the home design scene. The moody feel is the perfect blend of minimalist, cottage, art décor, and other top home design trends. It focuses on color contrasts, natural wood and elements, and a balance of natural and artificial light. The moody aesthetic might be for you if:
You love using black and white together.
Accent walls speak to your soul.
You love stained wood furniture and a bit of the rustic look.
Metal accents make you happy.
Your personality is continually developing, and you want a home that can adjust to you.
While choosing a decorating aesthetic may feel like a huge commitment, you can change yours at any time. It’s surprisingly easy to switch aesthetics by simply painting a wall, swapping out small trinket decors, and rearranging furniture.
