Furniture styles – what are they and what are their characteristics?

Furniture is a practical part of our homes, but it is also an important expression of individual taste and lifestyle. When looking for furniture for a child's room, we often face the dilemma of which specific models to choose to maintain a cohesive, warm arrangement. Read the article to learn about the characteristics of the most popular furniture styles and get inspiration.

Individual furniture styles and their characteristics

Currently, there are many styles in furniture making. They developed as a result of trends prevalent at the time, as well as geographical differences. Get to know the seven most popular concepts.

1. Classic style

It refers to traditional, timeless designs. Furniture made in the classic style is symmetrical and often enriched on the fronts with subtle, decorative fluting. Chests of drawers, beds, desks, shelving units and other furniture kept in this concept are carefully finished, including solid, decorative handles – just like models from the Bellamy brand from the Royal, Ines or Marylou series.

2. Modern style

Homeowners are keen to arrange interiors in a modern style because it is minimalist and functional. Furniture from the HOPPA, NOMI, Lotta, Pinette collections, distinguished by simple, geometric shapes that make the furniture original, look excellent in them.

3. Loft style

Inspired by industrial spaces, the loft style can also be cozy. Furniture created in this convention is spacious and raw, as it is often made of wood and metal, an excellent example of which is the Lumi collection. This type of furniture is comfortable and also looks great with decorations such as a world map hung on the wall or a metal desk lamp.

4. Country style

Aesthetic inspired by rural life is synonymous with simplicity and a family atmosphere. Therefore, it is stable, good quality wooden furniture for children ensuring safety and comfort for children. Characteristic elements of this style are massive, heavy forms, which were used, among others, in the TATAM, Ines or Marylou furniture by Bellamy.

5. Scandinavian style

Scandinavian furniture is made of high-quality natural materials and kept in light, pastel colors. Functional and durable, they last for many years, while creating a cozy, calm, homely atmosphere in the interiors – just like children's furniture from the NOMI, Lotta, Pinette, HOPPA, TATAM and Manhattan collections.

6. Boho style

In boho-style furnishings, we find unusual, interesting combinations of smooth surfaces with expressive elements, such as wooden handles and braids. This type of combination has been prepared, for example, in the Ratata series, where effective openwork rattan on the fronts adds an oriental character to the furniture. A child's room maintained in this climate is an oasis of calm, as well as a place where one can feel close to nature.

7. Retro style

Furniture stylized after the 1950s, 60s, and 70s are bold and creative solutions that give interiors expressiveness. Retro furnishings, such as those in the So sixty collection, are classics in an avant-garde edition.

8. Eclectic style

This concept assumes the freedom to combine furniture from different styles, so that each element of the interior has its own history. In this type of arrangement, we will find, among others, vintage equipment, antiques, as well as modern models creating unusual and bold combinations. The key to the eclectic concept is the skillful combination of various solutions, consisting of a coherent and at the same time surprising arrangement that reflects the owner's taste.

Creative approach to interior design

Choosing furniture for a child's room that would be aesthetically coherent is not an easy task. However, it is worth remembering that many pieces of furniture from different furniture styles look excellent together, so you do not always have to stick to a specific concept, but rather opt for freedom.
