Introduction
If you’re looking for new furniture, you may be overwhelmed by all the different styles available. If so, here’s a handy guide for differentiating between different types of home furniture.
Contemporary Furniture
Contemporary is a style that combines traditional and modern elements. It’s popular today because it gives you the best of both worlds: the sleekness of contemporary furniture, and the comfort of traditional pieces.
Contemporary furniture can be found in many different styles, including modern classics, midcentury modern and Scandinavian design. Its defining characteristics are clean lines (no ornate detail), neutral colors like black or white with pops of bold color here and there–and lots of natural light!
Country Style Furniture
- Rustic style furniture is often made of wood, and can be painted or stained. It’s usually made of pine or oak, with a distressed or worn look that gives it a cabin, farmhouse, or country feel.
Modern Furniture
Modern furniture is sleek, clean, and simple. It’s made from materials like metal, glass and wood. The design of modern pieces is often minimalist–meaning that the furniture has few decorative elements and looks sleek or streamlined. You’ll often find this style in high-end stores like Neiman Marcus or Saks Fifth Avenue because it tends to be expensive due to its high quality materials (and sometimes its designer name).
Rustic Style Furniture
Rustic furniture is made from natural materials like wood or stone. It’s heavy and sturdy, so you can count on it to last for years. Rustic furniture often looks old, worn and distressed. This style can be found in the kitchen or dining room of many homes today because it helps keep things warm and cozy.
These are the main styles of home furniture.
- Contemporary: Contemporary furniture is modern and sleek. It’s often made of metal, glass, or wood that has been stained black.
- Country: Country style is traditional with a rustic touch. It uses sturdy wood and fabrics like denim for its decorating elements.
- Modern: Modern homes feature clean lines and simple designs in their decorating schemes–think minimalist interiors with bold pops of color here and there!
