Reference tables
Style glossary
One-line definitions of the interior, exterior and garden styles DecorAI generates, so you can pick one without guessing.
DecorAI offers more than 60 interior styles. The table below defines the ones people choose most often. Style sets the visual language; a colour scheme then sets the palette inside it, and design controls adjust the detail.
Interior styles
| Style | In one line | Signature materials |
|---|---|---|
| Modern | Clean lines, flat fronts, restrained palette, minimal ornament | Glass, steel, smooth wood, concrete |
| Contemporary | Whatever reads as current — softer and curvier than Modern | Mixed, warm neutrals |
| Minimalist | Only what is necessary, hidden storage, empty surfaces | White, pale wood, matt finishes |
| Scandinavian | Light, functional and warm; pale wood and lots of textiles | Ash, birch, wool, linen |
| Japandi | Japanese restraint plus Scandinavian warmth; low furniture | Light wood with near-black accents, ceramics |
| Industrial | Converted-warehouse look; exposed structure and black metal | Brick, concrete, steel, reclaimed timber |
| Bohemian | Layered, collected, pattern on pattern, plant-heavy | Rattan, jute, macramé, vintage textiles |
| Coastal | Light and airy, sea-referenced without nautical kitsch | Linen, rattan, whitewashed wood |
| Farmhouse | Rural and practical; shaker doors and painted timber | Painted wood, apron sinks, black metal |
| Modern farmhouse | Farmhouse cleaned up with white walls and black fittings | Shaker joinery, matt black, wide-plank floors |
| Mid-Century Modern | 1945–70: warm woods, tapered legs, confident accent colour | Walnut, teak, wool, brass |
| Art Deco | Glamorous geometry, symmetry and saturated colour | Brass, lacquer, velvet, marble |
| Traditional | Formal and classical; mouldings, symmetry, pattern | Panelling, damask, carved timber |
| Transitional | Between traditional and modern; comfortable but pared back | Neutral upholstery, simple joinery |
| Rustic | Rough natural materials, exposed beams, earthy warmth | Raw timber, stone, leather |
| Mediterranean | Sun-worn plaster, arches and terracotta | Lime plaster, terracotta, wrought iron |
| Tropical | Lush, humid, plant-led with dark timber | Teak, rattan, large-leaf planting |
| Maximalist | Deliberate excess: layered pattern and saturated colour | Velvet, brass, dense gallery walls |
| Zen | Calm, low, uncluttered, nature-referencing | Timber, stone, paper, muted greens |
| French Country | Rural France: soft, aged, gently ornamented | Limewash, toile, aged oak |
| Victorian | Ornate 19th-century formality and rich colour | Dark timber, patterned wallpaper, brass |
| Eclectic | Intentional mixing of periods held by one palette | Anything, tied together by colour |
