Chennai's own builder, Malles Constructions, here are some interesting interior
styles for the art lover in you.
Over centuries
styles have evolved with the taste of generations. Every style has benefits to
the people who will enjoy the home for many years to come. Each of the
following designs showcases character and taste specific to an era.
Shabby Chic
The all-white interior walls, floors, and ceilings highlighted with antiques
furniture, this gives your home a British look. Soft pastels bring focus and
offer a more feminine feel to the design.

Swedish style
An eclectic finish is created through a trendy
approach called maximalism, which means to make the most of a small space. What
may appear to be a medley of color is actually a collection of interesting
objects arranged for maximum visual appeal. Vibrant colors are used to create
focal points throughout the room that plead the visitor to examine each piece
more closely.

Contemporary
Featuring solid colors with contrasting
properties against a blank slate of walls and floor, this is the sleek one for
your metropolitan home in Chennai. Furniture has sleek, straight lines with
sharp corners. Few accent pieces are used, which leaves a clean and open look
for visual appeal.

Classic contemporary
Contrasting the softer colors and highlighting the
art on the walls as the visual emphasis, this style is considered the elegant
among the contemporary styles. The rounded
furniture lines offer an appealing and warm setting that draws the attention of
the guest in your home. Colors are complementary instead of contrasting to draw
the entire room into focus without an abrupt focus on one element.

Funky
Over-sized, comfortable chairs set against the blunt
lines of tables with metal legs. Invite your friends to enjoy the style and
sit for a spell. Every element is clean and visibly interesting. Colors are in
the chairs while the rest of the room creates a palette to be accented for
visual interest.

New York
Wide open
rooms are accented with neutral paint colors accented by contrasting furniture.
Edges of the room are lined with furniture that allows for easy traffic flow
through the main corridors. Eye-catching accents are used as light fixtures,
and storage is hidden in beautiful pieces of furniture made of intriguing
materials.

Traditional
A formal
home setting is the most appropriate choice for this style. Choices between
many time periods create a sense of timeless tradition in a home that is
decorated in the traditional sense. Colors include the jewel tones in
coordinating hues. Silks, brocades and satin are the prevalent fabrics used in
this style of decorating.
Ecletic
As the term
conveys, the Eclectic decorating style is varied and can develop into a room
that resembles any number of the other decorating styles. Colors are strictly
up to the taste of the person who will live with the interior decor. Most
people who choose this style do so because they enjoy certain aspects of all
the other styles.
Garden
Most homes decorated
in the Garden style will have a sun room full of plants built onto an exterior
wall. The use of live plants inside the house is accompanied by landscape
pictures. Large windows allow for sweeping views of the exterior landscape.
Interior and outdoor furniture are used inside the home and patio doors are in
more than one room. Colors are vibrant and natural to bring the outdoors into
each living space.

Tuscan
Originating in
Italy, the Tuscan style was developed by the tradesmen and farmers that lived
throughout Italy’s countryside. As Italians came to this country, their
decorating style took hold. Colors include natural hues accented with rich reds
and ochers found in the landscape. Muted tones blend the walls, floors, and
furniture into a soothing setting that welcomes everyone.

Asian
Use of space
is central to decorating in the Asian style. Leaving the middle of the room
open is essential to convey the openness of heart valued in the Asian cultures
of the world. Colors are close to nature and bright Colors are used in focal
points around each room.
