Figure out your decorating style You are halfway there if you decide on a design style for your home's interior. A simple rule of thumb is to use the same style for the interior as the exterior.

MARKET TRENDS • Contemporary • Modern • Contemporary design is the least crowded and minimalist of the design styles. Few pieces are used in each room, and the color is normally limited to black, white, or gray with primary color accents. Metals and glass are used as opposed to wood. According to Shauna Bottos, when you're designing from scratch, contemporary style works particularly well when you have smaller spaces or want to highlight the home's natural features, such as big, bright windows or architectural details. • Generally speaking, modern decorating styles are well-tailored and feature clean straight lines. Wood and earth tones add a softer feel to the straight lines. Mid-century modern sofas and elements are popular. Art deco-era homes and those built in the 1950s and later work best with modern decor.
