for finding your design style or mix of several design styles i for instance am leaning toward mid century modern cottage with oriental and vintage retro influences equally mixed that would be eclectic mid century modern 1950s 60s post war style that called for open spaces modern living minimalist only the essentials less is more modern uses the most high tech products and materials and square lines oriental draws from chinese japanese influences zen finding peace and balance in a space from japanese values of simplicity and assymetry shabby chic the flea market side of decor southwestern influence from arizona new mexico deserts often includes rustic and spanish elements spanish plentiful use of terracotta tiles wooden beams and wrought iron with warm color palette victorian opulent decorative style where more is better brocades velvets tufting patterns etc etc whimsical fun and fanciful the painting and chair covers in this room really add that whimsical effect

com here are a collection of photos illustrating the different styles this is the first post of two enjoy art deco modern simple lines inlaid wood jewel tones classical columns acanthus leaves typical of rome or grecian historical period country cotton prints woven rugs painted furniture for a homey feel french country a subset of country style but with reds greens yellows roosters a more formal feel cottage country airy light floral version of country contemporary horizontal clean lines honesty of materials bright abstract accents vintage retro in this case a 50 s style kitchen but could be from other decades of the 20th century eclectic a mix of several styles can t make out a dominant one primitive evokes an early stage of human development rustic think log cabin in the woods traditional generic term for any room with classic elegance tropical wood or thatch panels plant life reflect the outdoor lushness of a tropical location mediterranean tilework pottery and rich blues and yellows or characteristic of locations like greece italy morocco etc comment kitchen remodel survey by class in kitchens on april 12 2010 at 9 24 pm this month s issue of kitchen bath design news 4 10 outlined consumer trends according to class by an online research study done by ricki the research institute for cooking kitchen intelligence which is based in charlotte nc ultra high end consumers invest in products that are a reflection of their personalities income is predictably a good indicator of how a consumer approaches their kitchen project whether or not they hire a designer use name brand products and how much they spend of course here is a quick reference to the conclusions of the survey ultra high end consumers incomes of 200 ooo or more are in large part very brand conscious believing that brands reflect on their personality twice as likely to seek out professional help from a kitchen bath designer more engaged in their kitchens considering it the heart of the home and possibly their favorite room in the home high end consumers tend to not worry about brand names in their kitchens high end consumers incomes of between 100 000 and 200 000 and moderate consumers income less than 100 000 are less likely to seek out professional design advice not as concerned with brand name appliances or materials spend a third to an eighth of what ultra high end consumers spend on kitchen improvements moderate consumers are the most likely do it yourselfers and penny pinchers as a homeowner clearly in the moderate consumer category and a kitchen designer who has worked for clients in all categories i would like to give my own humble opinion that having a trained kitchen designer come to look at your kitchen and draw up at least some initial plans is a great idea even on a small budget especially if you don t have a natural eye for color or detail a good designer can also help you avoid common pitfalls get quotes or think up creative solutions for your unique style like custom storage or shelving custom usually does mean more expensive but i know lots of designers including myself have tricks up their sleeves to get you a better look and more functionality within your budget so whether you have 2 000 to spend or 200 000 the moral of the story is the same find qualified design advice if for no other reason than a second opinion to your own happy remodeling especially to all the folks in lake norman nc andrea pack comment about me i am an interior designer and kitchen designer in north carolina i have created this blog site as a
