Interior design comes in a range of formats and arrangements and sometimes it gets confusing which one will be best for your home.

1. Modern

Modern designs are well suited for small spaces, as they amplify the illusion of space. Modern is a broad term that typically refers to homes with clean, crisp lines and simple color palette. Materials commonly used are metal, glass, and steel.

2. Contemporary

Modern and contemporary are two styles that are frequently used interchangeably. But contemporary design focuses on the present trend. It refers to the design trends of the moment.

3. Industrial

The industrial style draws inspiration from a warehouse or urban loft. There’s a sense of unfinished rawness in many of the elements. You get the rugged feel from exposed brick, ductwork, and wood.
