Moody Modernism

Modernism is a design trend that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a response to changes in technology and society. This design philosophy embraces minimalism and rejects ornate embellishments, favouring function over form. From architecture to furniture, modernist designs are characterized by clean lines, geometric shapes, and a focus on new materials and techniques. The darker twist on it, with warmer tones is something emerging online as a newer take on mid-century modern.

Traditional Eclectic

Traditional eclectic design is a unique style that borrows elements from various time periods and styles, creating a rich, layered look that feels curated over time. This design style allows for a high degree of personalization as it mixes different styles together, yet there is a subtle thread of consistency that ties the space together. Think Nancy Meyer’s iconic aesthetic in her movies if you need more inspiration.

Practical Magic Victorian Home

Inspired by the 90s hit movie, Practical Magic and the majestic home in it, this trend is pretty timeless overall. The home of the main characters, was inspired by late 19th century architecture and unfortunately, doesn’t even exist in real life. But, you can implement the design elements in your home. Think dark wood furniture, draped curtains and printed wallpaper for that romantic Victorian feel.
