INTERIOR & FURNITURE

Characteristics of interior and furniture website design:

1. LIGHTING IS KEY

Interiors have several types of lighting for adequate and mood building illumination. Usually modern teetering on industrial in style, these vary from pendants like this iconic Danish Design pendant lamp from Louis Weisdorf to wall sconces. Candle light is also a must, adding a touch of whimsy and glow to a space.

2. FORM & FUNCTION

In terms of furniture, clean lines are it. Sofas, tables, and chairs embrace mid century modern tendencies with smooth rounded edges and natural hues. A trend towards multileveled and sized wall shelving speaks to the need for being space savvy through practical storage and visual interest.

3. LIGHT FLOORING

Flooring traditionally is hard-wood, often left in it’s natural color or painted white. This contributes to expanding the space and inviting in more light. Residential bathrooms often have heated tiles for a warm underfoot during the winter season.

5. NEUTRAL COLORS

There is definitely a color palette associated with website designs. Whites, grays, blacks and browns are often interwoven creating a clean and calming look. Designers have also introduced other pop colors like dusty pinks and rich sea greens for added accents.

6. CLUTTER-FREE INTERIORS

One of the truest characteristics of interior & furniture website design is making sure spaces are well used and limited in unnecessary clutter. Storage is wisely implemented in the form of cabinets and shelving. Decor is intentional with a “less is more” mantra, keeping spaces looking clean and visually relaxing.

7. LIMITED WINDOW TREATMENTS

Contributing to the idea of inviting as much light in as possible, spaces tend to leave their windows bare of coverings. If used, light fabrics like linen and sheer are preferred. At night, the glow of illuminated windows in buildings looks like a beautiful postcard.

8. SIMPLE DECORATIVE ACCENTS

Elegant ceramic vases like these Kähler Botanica Miniature Vases and pillows with geometric patterns like these Normann Copenhagen cushions add subtle color and texture to a home.
