Decorating your first apartment:three trendy decorating styles

The loft-style

No need for XXL volumes to reproduce its famous industrial charm at home. Laminated leather armchairs, metal suspensions, steel or raw wood furniture... Well-selected materials and objects are enough to recreate the atmosphere of factories and other workshops. As for accessories, we focus on recycling:wooden pallets, vintage trunks and metal barrels are all easy to hunt for. Our tip? Dress a section of wall with concrete effect wallpaper or imitation brick stickers for a guaranteed factory effect! On the color side, we will opt for a shades of gray, white, black and earthy hues.

The Mix and Match

Mixing vintage furniture and design is the new decor must-have. A traditional sofa with an ultra-modern coffee table, a retro armchair with a contemporary floor lamp… We mix genres to create an offbeat universe. Our advice? Do your shopping in flea markets, as in big brands, for decoration at a lower cost. In terms of nuances, we will avoid any visual overload by adopting white as the dominant hue, which we will twist with spikes of vitamin colors.

The Scandinavian style

With a formidable efficiency, the Scandinavian style remains a safe bet for decoration. Wooden furniture with clean lines, cozy plaids, a color chart of gray and white awakened by pastel tones or curry yellow… The Nordic style is simple, airy and graphic. We won't hesitate to combine a mouse gray sofa with a wooden coffee table and dress it with cushions or a rug with geometric prints.

Our final tips? Consider measuring your surfaces and furniture to create a balanced layout.
