It’s best at home, isn’t it? This is not least due to personal furnishings that make your own four walls a cozy place. Do you fancy a breath of fresh air? Here you will find inspiration for five interior design styles.
True to the English saying “My home is my castle”, in German “My home is my castle”, your own four walls should be a place of refuge and wellbeing. Apart from the location and type of living, the furnishings are a central part of this home feel-good castle. Tastes are as varied as the numerous furnishing styles. In order not to lose the overview, you will find beautiful interior inspiration here.
Einrichtungsstil “Skandi”
The “Scandinavian” furnishing style is based on Scandinavian interior influences. This is not only due to the love of many people for the Swedish furniture store “Ikea”, but ostensibly to the beautiful natural materials and soft colors of the restrained style. If you want to furnish your home in the “Scandi” look, you can choose light wood and natural textiles. Color is also used, albeit subtle, so beige and blue tones in the form of carpets and pillows can be suitable.
White forms the basis of the furnishing and decoration, so that the home in the “Scandinavian style” appears bright and friendly. The furnishing style is simple, but not boring, simple furniture silhouettes often have round legs of chairs, tables or sofas that point slightly outwards.
Decorating style “Art deco”
Do you know the popular German series “Babylon Berlin”? The viewer finds himself in Berlin in the 1920s. The golden 20s are not only good inspiration in terms of standard material, but also in terms of the next furnishing style. It is called “Art Deco” – it sounds noble and it is. The style is sophisticated, exuding glamor and pure luxury. Geometric shapes are not only used in furniture, but also in pictures and other decorations. Textiles are usually eye-catching, shimmering in gold or shimmering through velvet.
The great Gatsby is also a symbol of the “Art Deco” furnishing style. A fictional character of the writer F. Scott Fitzgerald (already played by Leonardo DiCaprio in the film of the same name “The Great Gatsby”). Incidentally, style did not only appear in furnishings at the time, but also in fashion and architecture.
Einrichtungsstil “Industrial”
Anyone who furnishes their home in the “industrial” furnishing style also relies on straightforward design. The style is something for minimalists who like it structured. “Industrial” can come across as rough, but it doesn’t have to be. Darker tones such as brown, gray or black dominate, but that doesn’t make it uncomfortable. Comfortable upholstered furniture, preferably made of leather, loosen up the furnishing style and look inviting.
The nice thing is: the “industrial” style leaves room for creativity and is always a bit unfinished. That is what makes the charm and the versatile possibilities.
Einrichtungsstil “Boho”
Free and informal, this is how the “Boho” furnishing style can be characterized. It brings a hippie flair and artistic furniture with it. Bright colors are a must, as is the mix of patterns. Muted tones such as brown and beige form a beautiful basis for the colorful play of colors. (Self-knotted) macrame tapestries are ideal as decoration, because they look playful and cozy. For the selection of the furniture in the “Boho” style, a material mix of wood, leather and woven rattan is recommended. Anyway, mixing materials, colors and patterns is absolutely desirable and gives the “Boho” style an unconventional touch.
Are you wondering what the term “boho” actually means? It is derived from the word “Boheme” and describes a subculture consisting of intellectual fringe groups with literary, artistic and musical ambitions. The style unites artists of all kinds and cannot be pigeonholed, but lives from diversity and creativity.
