Boho

Are you inexplicably drawn to rattan? Are earth tones slowly taking over your space? You’re space is probably in the bohemian style. Fear not, boho does not have to look like aunt Susan’s hippie apartment in the 70s. With earth tones very much in vogue, there are plenty of decor options for you. I would recommend keeping the artwork for the space minimal and in the same colour family. Add accents of campus grass or hanging textiles to finish off any wall.

Minimalist

If you prefer less fuss and like to keep things more sleek and modern, you’re probably drawn to minimalism. It’s fine if you threw out grandma’s souvenirs from her trip to New York, because honestly, you like your desk clean. Minimalism is synonymous with clean lines, bold accented colours and monochromatic decor. For decor, use modern furnishing and keep the artwork bold to bring an otherwise simple space to life.

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” —Leonardo da Vinci

Traditionalist

Did you think the first two options sounded a little pretentious? Does your house look more like a family home and less like a magazine? Are there dishes in your sink from two days ago (this is me telling you to please wash them)? You lean more to the traditionalist aesthetic. Keeping your furniture classic so it won’t go out of style anytime soon is a great choice. Use neutral colours that don’t offend the eyes and imagery that is easy to understand. I recommend the artwork for the space to be photography or botanicals that you won’t get tired of the longer you stare at it. I would also recommend using colours that are soothing and universally enjoyed such as blues, greys, browns and whites.
