Kinds of styles are very diverse. Some were in trend several centuries ago, others were born recently and immediately gained popularity. Styles relate to the interior, clothing, design and even art. The most popular of them should be given a little attention.

Hi-tech

Perhaps, if we talk about modern types of styles, then this one should be noted first of all. Hi-tech was born in 1970. And this style is about architecture and design.

High-tech apartments look very elegant and solid. The photo above shows one example. The style is characterized by the use of soothing colors - black, white, gray, coffee, wood or pastel. Unobtrusive bright accents are allowed, such as red cushions on the sofa or neon blue lighting.

The material used is metal, glass, plastic and sometimeswood. Special requirements apply to furniture. It should be distinguished by a strict geometric shape and be functional. A glass transparent table, a sofa made of leatherette, armchairs made of plain fabric, a narrow extended closet are just a few examples.

The walls, by the way, should be light. Sand shade is suitable or light gray. By the way, patterns are not allowed. Smooth, bare walls are another "highlight" that distinguishes high-tech. The floor is covered with tiles, on top of which a light-colored carpet is usually laid. And one more feature - high and large windows with blinds.

What about jewelry? This trendy style involves decorating the interior with all sorts of modern figurines, author's photographs on the walls, original lamps (lava, for example), a high-tech fireplace or an aquarium.

Empire in the interior

This is also quite a trendy style. Only now it is the complete opposite of high-tech. The Empire style is designed to demonstrate power, superiority, status and unlimited possibilities of a person. By the way, he appeared during the reign of Napoleon.

This style in the interior is characterized by grandiosity and a large area of the room. It is important to use a centric composition. And the middle of the ceiling and floor is usually emphasized with a pattern. The main decorations are objects of antiquity and military glory. And, of course, large mirrors designed to reflect the splendor of the setting. Pretentiousness, carved surfaces, an abundance of gold, bronze candlesticks - if possible, then do not be afraid to bring it tointerior.

Clothed

Interestingly, the Empire style is also reflected in clothes. Ladies in those days wore dresses with a high waist (to the chest) and skirts, in which cylindrical outlines were clearly traced. In the 21st century, of course, outfits in this style look different.

Dress length may vary. There are extremely short outfits. There are also long skirts, to the floor. The invariable style elements are a high waist, which is emphasized either by a thin belt tied right under the bust, or by the corresponding color scheme; as well as the shape of the skirt.

It is interesting that such a dress will suit almost any girl. A short lady seems slimmer in this outfit. Small breasts visually become larger. A loose cut successfully hides flaws and emphasizes the dignity of the figure.

Oriental clothing style

He is liked mainly by girls who love bright multi-colored outfits with an abundance of patterns and decorations. Because this is what characterizes the oriental style.

In it, if we talk about clothes, elements of the outfits of Japan, Thailand, India, China and Arab countries are combined. All together forms an interesting symbiosis.

Moreover, the outfit does not have to be closed and to the floor. Now very fashionable are short, knee-length dresses made of light flowing fabric with some kind of ethnic ornament. You can successfully complete the image by putting on the hand the so-called slave - an ornament consisting of a bracelet that is connected to a ring. A silk scarf withpatterns.

If you want to bring more Asian to your oriental look, you can wear a loose dress made of chiffon or satin with a straight cut and a side slit. They are usually made with sakura, lotus, camellia and dragon designs.

The most important thing is shoes. She shouldn't have heels. All types of styles have their own “zest”, and in this case, it lies precisely in this. Open sandals, beaded ballerinas, sandals with wooden soles or ballerinas will do.

Scandinavian motifs

It is worth turning again to such a topic as types of styles in the interior, and talk about Scandinavian. Surprisingly aesthetic, simple, attractive, original and practical in its own way. A bit like high-tech, only brighter. You can verify this by looking at the photo provided above.

The main highlight is the abundance of natural light. If there are no large and tall windows in the room, this is not a Scandinavian style.

If the furniture is wooden. Facing? Stone or ceramic. Decorative drape? Only linen and cotton. Nothing artificial.

And the open floor plan helps maintain a sense of spaciousness. Therefore, studio apartments are often decorated in the Scandinavian style.

But the most important feature is that such an interior is designed to reflect a person's personal idea of beauty and comfort. Therefore, you do not need to be shy in terms of decor and decorations. Personal vision only add originality to the setting.

Minimalistdesign

No other kind of style has the same philosophy as minimalism. Firstly, not every person decides to furnish his apartment in this way. Secondly, this requires a special taste and vision. Thirdly, minimalism is not just a style. And the way of life. People who furnish their homes "to a minimum" and dress in the same style. Because they don't take too much.

Minimalism is often confused with high-tech style. It is distinguished by monolithic forms, discreet shades, solid surfaces, simple but natural materials (that's the difference), maximum space and functional furniture (usually built-in furniture is used). And also hidden light sources and lack of decor. With all this, the apartment does not look uncomfortable. But here's what you can say for sure - it reflects freedom. Below is a photo, looking at which you can verify this.

In human form

Some kinds of styles in the interior are reflected in clothes. Minimalism, as already mentioned, is no exception. What guides a person who adheres to this style? A simple principle. Consisting in the rejection of quantity in favor of quality. The “highlight” of the style is a well-thought-out silhouette and cut. And undoubtedly the high quality of clothes and shoes.

Minimalism is characterized by monochrome colors and discreet shades. Accessories are as discreet and functional as possible - sunglasses without frills, a convenient frame bag, a belt, if needed.

Traditional minimalist girls wear dresses-sheaths, pencil skirts, business suits, turtlenecks, straight-cut jeans, coats, raincoats or fitted jackets. In terms of choosing shoes, the principle is simple - it must be of high quality and plain.

Art

And again, minimalism. It not only belongs to the category of "basic styles", but also is universal. Minimalism emerged in the late 60s of the last century in New York as a movement in art, sculpture and music. Its main feature is its objective approach and simplicity of form.

Painting in this style is unique in its own way. Minimalist artists abandoned the techniques characteristic of other areas. And so it was possible to focus on color expressiveness and geometry. The pictures are simple and not overloaded with meaning. The whole point is in front of the viewer at a glance.

Even in music, it is easy to recognize that a work was written by a minimalist composer, if you know about the peculiarities of style. Such compositions are based on certain sounds, motifs, chords or even intervals. They are called patterns. And the composition is built on their variation. For example, in change in tone.

Art Deco

Talking about the types of styles in design, one cannot fail to note the French direction of art-déco. It appeared a little less than 100 years ago and found its place not only in interiors, but also in fashion and painting.

This is an amazing symbiosis of everything that seems to be incongruous. In the interior, you can see round, square and seemingly “curled” shapes. Exquisite, luxuriousa crystal chandelier is surprisingly well combined with neon lighting or spotlights. Incredibly high ceilings and amazing spaciousness are in harmony with the marble flooring and open floor plan. And the interior, decorated in black tones with windows in the shape of Gothic arches, may well be furnished with bright green furniture. However, this is art-déco - decorative art. So there is nothing to be surprised about.

Animalism

It's hard to find someone who doesn't love animals. Animalism is now quite a popular style in clothing. Kinds of styles have their own characteristics, and here is its "highlight" - these are animal motifs, which can be easily guessed.

It could be leopard or zebra trim. Snakeskin effect shirt, matching bag. Recently, things with the image of animals have been extremely popular among young people. Gained fame and birds (especially owls). There are many accessories in the form of them - pendants, earrings, bags.

This genre is also popular in painting and photography. And in the interior - here the principle is the same as in clothing. Animalism is natural - with the image of animals as they are. And sometimes humorous, positive. Such an example is provided just above.

Other destinations

In general, each style is special and unique in its own way. In clothes, the types of styles are one, in the interior - others. Sometimes they intersect. And sometimes they remain manifested in only one area.

The most ancient style in the interior, for example, is antique. It clearly traces the universal principles of architectural harmony. Styles such as baroque and rococo, which in their era were also clearly manifested in lush and frilly outfits, are from the category of “very amateur”. Because, firstly, they smell of antiquity, and, secondly, they have a lot of carvings, curved lines, luxurious scale and royal grandeur.

Pop art is liked mostly by people who do not recognize patterns and standards. It is distinguished by a certain "puppetry" and a crazy cocktail of colors. In terms of clothing, by the way, the same thing. Cheese dress? Absolutely normal for this trend. A pullover, all supposedly "made" from the heroes of a popular cartoon? You shouldn't be surprised either. American flag leggings? Why not. Close to pop art and kitsch style. It can be described as provocative, flashy, extraordinary and as special as possible. Reflection of the human soul.

In general, as you could already understand, there are a lot of styles. How to choose the most suitable for your image or home? Everything is simple. You just need to listen to your desires and taste preferences.
