THE KEY DESIGN STYLES

Mix and match styles and eras for a home with charm and personality.

CHINOISERIE

For the maximalist who likes to push the limits of ornamentation and pattern in their home, chinoiserie may be your thing. It’s a European interpretation of Asian design that was popularised in the 18th century.

SHAKER-STYLE

On the opposite end of the spectrum, where simple forms and

uncomplicated interiors reign, Shaker-style may pique your interest.

The guiding principles of honesty, utility, and simplicity are reflected in the furniture the Shakers produced

during the 1800s in America.

ART DECO

If the set designs of Baz Luhrmann’s ‘The Great Gatsby’ have been on your mood board forever, you’re a fan of

1920s Art Deco, a highly stylised design movement that emphasises glamour, curves and rich finishes,

such as marble and bone.

FRENCH PROVINCIAL

Do you lean towards the ornate but prefer more rustic and raw? Then French provincial is for you. Referring

to a style that originated in the French countryside, the pieces were often simpler and more affordable

adaptations of the luxurious 18th-century Rococo furniture made for the Parisian monarchy. There is no

denying the enduring and wide popularity of French country style.
