Home renovation is an exhausting business.

From the decision that the time has come, raising the budget, choosing suppliers, running between different stores, and a long headache that seems to have no end.

Among all these decisions, sometimes the important choice of the design style is missed, and a non-uniform and aesthetic appearance is obtained, but a collection of items that are not necessarily related to each other.

We are here to inspire you, with four different styles.

Let's start with an important advice: don't do "copy paste", it doesn't turn out well, and even if you do, the result won't be connected to you.

Get inspired, let yourself open up, and then turn to sit in your living space.

Look around, try to understand what is right for you - what you would like to adopt from what you saw, where and how you would like to integrate yourself into it.

Try to be less impulsive and more attentive to yourself.

Take an hour of silence and see how the ideas will start to flood you.

bohemian

The bohemian living space can to some extent remind the rural space, but it will differ from it mainly thanks to the artistic connection that characterizes it.

This is a space that sometimes reminds one of a creator's studio or a painter's studio.

Lines for his character:

the bohemian space will present art collections or items of an artistic nature, collected during world travels.

The space will be on the border of sloppy, but in the best part there is - magazines in the fields of design and art will be scattered in it, and the artistic items will be an integral part of the space.

How to make the space like this:

it's time to become collectors.

You don't have to part with tens of thousands of shekels and buy a grandiose work of art.

Start collecting souvenirs from travels and trips in Israel and the world, which will form a visual timeline for you, and remind you of sweet and unforgettable moments.

This sentimental collection can start your journey to a bohemian living space.

If you subscribe to a reputable design magazine, you can place a wicker basket and throw the various sheets into it, which can be used as a decorative element by themselves.

Scandinavian

The Israeli audience warmly embraced the Scandinavian style.

A living space according to this design style will radiate cleanliness and minimalist coolness, along with pleasant warmth.

The combination between these two opposite ends is at the heart of the style.

Lines for its character:

the Scandinavian living space will use furniture made of light wood, mostly birch wood, with a flawless smooth finish.

The coloring will combine the light shade of the wood together with touches of terra cotta, powder and hints of darker shades such as dark brown and black.

The use of textiles will combine fabrics that are pleasant to the touch, curtains with a certain degree of transparency that intensifies the warmth.

Twigs and dry vegetation in a straw shade will add and further emphasize the style.

How to make the space like this:

terra cotta is one of the most prominent shades in the design scene in the last two years.

You can combine a terra cotta vase and arrange dry plants with a yellowish appearance in it.

If you are planning to purchase a new armchair, you can choose one made of birch wood with the smooth finish that is associated with the style.

You can place a side table in a wood tone or in powder or earth tones.

Such a table with the addition of the vase will form spots of color that will dictate the desired tone and style.

Contemporary

The contemporary style has a modern line, one that is suitable for the current period.

He can combine rustic or minimalist motifs, but in a way that is not completely identified with a certain style.

It has minimalist cleanliness combined with rural warmth.

Lines for its character:

the contemporary style tends to take into account the outdoor areas as an architectural space, which must be planned in accordance with the interior spaces, and take care of the connection between them and the possibility of connecting the two parts as if they were one.

Whether it's showcases with sliding doors or fixed windows, it's important to make sure to have wide windows that reach from the floor to the ceiling, and bring the look of the outdoors into the living space.

In addition, when it comes to the walls, the cladding will emphasize the use of an interesting material - whether it is veneer or industrial stone cladding with a clean look.

How to make the space like this:

if you are before renovation or during construction, you can plan wide openings and make sure that they are from the floor to the ceiling.

This will immediately bring contemporary style to the space.

In addition, you can choose a wall, such as the wall on which the TV screen is mounted, and cover it with a wall unit whose front is covered with industrial stone or veneer.

Such a unit will create quite a few storage solutions for you and its clean and restrained facade will connect the house to the contemporary style.

Rural

The rural living space is a warm and inviting space.

Even when it is organized and meticulous, the main message that emerges from it is an informal one, one that invites you to have fun.

Lines for his character:

the country style will welcome windows with a Belgian profile, preferably with multiple divisions.

Exposed and whitewashed wooden beams that emphasize the contours of the sloping tile roof are one of the clear signs of the country style.

The style is also characterized by the use of roughly processed stone - Jerusalem stone or Brick tiles.

Choose to use wood in the flooring, in the furniture items or both, and in textiles that are pleasant to the touch, which will be reflected in the carpets, seating arrangements and curtains.

Use straw - both in chairs and in lighting fixtures and carpets.

You can also combine metallic elements, and be sure to choose light curtains that allow light to penetrate.

The curtain is a kind of filter for the natural light that comes from outside, and it wraps the space in a soft and pleasant tone.

How to make the space like this:

it is not necessary to use all the characteristics of the style to get the result.

Even if you have a flat roof or if you have chosen to forgo the use of stone, you can get the desired look.

The textile is the most accessible element with which you can create a quick change.

Curtains made of light fabric that allows light to pass through - you can choose a fabric at a fabric store, and give it to the tailor along with the window measurements, or buy one ready-made or custom-made.

In addition, standing lighting fixtures can provide an easy and quick solution.

Similarly, you can choose a braided carpet with a natural straw look.

Such a carpet will often be easy to carry, so there is no need to wait for special transport.

To create a quick change you will need 1-2 metallic lighting fixtures in two corners of the living room, a natural looking carpet and curtains.

If you want to invest a little more, you can choose a sofa and armchairs in a light shade with a nonchalant look, but the complementary accessories alone will also do a good job.
