By Alexa Alfonso @lexlovescouture

Defining your decorating style can be a bit hard. While most designers blend a few different styles, having a core style is key. The most important thing is to understand what you like. Once you've figured out the details and elements of you like, finding your style is super easy. Here is a quick breakdown of the main interior styles. Hopefully it brings you closer to identifying your own interior design style!

Industrial

Industrial style is reminiscent of the past. It has a lot of character and history behind it. A few interior characteristics are exposed brick, rustic exposed finishes and structural elements such as wooden beams. The great thing about this style is how easy it blends with other styles. You can have fun by mixing a modern clean style with industrial touches.

Modern

A lot of us are drawn to a modern style. It's clean, simple, and easy to look at. Modern design is functional, yet organized. If you're the type of person who likes an organized, clutter free, clean look- modern design is for you. Due to its simplicity, it's very easy to add your own personality to this clean design. A perk of modern design is the feeling of openness; it gives the illusion that the space is larger. It is perfect for those who live in an apartment.
