French Country- yellows, blues, rooster collections, tiles on the floor and walls. When applied to interior design generally means a mix between elegant and rustic. Faded or whitewashed wood, blue, pink and yellow small prints and flowered fabrics, sunflowers in a dripware pitcher. These elements constitute French Country. Van Gogh.

Contemporary- this is a style in which patterns are bold and bright, while using a lightly colored background. Use neutral coloring for walls and furniture, but add bright splashes of color in accessories. Colors included should be such as fushia, deep purple and teals. Abstracts and vinyl will compliment a Contemporary decor. Jasper Johns, Joan Miro, Keith Haring, Paul Klee, Robert Indiana, Roy Lichtenstein, Salvadore Dali, Andy Warhol, Man Ray, MC Escher.

Art Deco: this term comes from the designs of the 20's, 30's and early 40's. Lines were elegant, streamlined and angular. Vibrant colors were predominant. Neon, chrome and other metal furnishings, bakelite plastics and inlayed furniture were popular for the Art Deco period.

Art Nouveau: swirling, graceful lines, romantic in feel. Gustav Klimt represents the epitome of the feeling of this period with his sensual, gold-filled, patterned paintings.

Whimsical: light and fanciful. Bright colors and unusual patterns. Such as pink spotted fish, a wooden chair painted in several different colors and with several different patterns. Use the work of artists Joan Miro, Paul Klee.

Mediterranean: use colors such as terracotta, warm yellows and other earth tones. Distressed finishes and simple patterns will suit this style best. Blue and gold accents will really set this style off. Accent pieces here should include pottery and aquatic pieces.Salvadore Dali, Picasso.

Modern: futurist looking, concrete, stone, metal and glass. High tech comes to mind when thinking of this type of decor. Lots of open space, bright lighting, and square lines. The main colors are basic and cool, with splashes of bright colors. Abstract artwork will combine well with this decor as well as usual hand blown glass pieces.
Matisse, Jasper Johns, Joan Miro, Keith Haring, Paul Klee, Robert Indiana, Roy Lichtenstein, Salvadore Dali, Andy Warhol, Man Ray, MC Escher.

Spanish: stuccoed walls, bold colors such as red, orange and gold, heavy dark colored furniture, use of wrought iron accessories. Other accent pieces include guitars, castanets, lace, Spanish hair combs, Bolero hats, and Spanish blankets. Frida Kahlo, Salvadore Dali

Southwestern: think desert when thinking of this style. Adobe, leather, bold colors such as orange, burgundy, purple, bright turquoise, rustic furniture will mix well with this style also. Be sure to include silver items, lasso’s, cactus and maybe even a saddle. Georgia O'Keeffe.

Tropical chic: one of the most popular looks today. It includes comfort, warmth, and a touch of the exotic, using jungle themes, restful colors, and natural textural elements. Common motifs include stylized palm trees, large leafed banana plants, monkeys, animal prints, rattan, leather, and grasscloth. Neutral tones including ivory, beige, camel, tan, deep brown, soft gold, and pale yellows are the foundation of a tropical themed room. Greens are also a major element in shades that range from light sage to avocado and from yellow-greens to a green that is nearly black. Accents might be in dark brown, black, or even muted reds. Frida Kahlo, Paul Gauguin.
