After studying design styles, you should consider how historical styles could be adapted and applied in current interiors. When selecting a style for a client, it is important to understand the overall feeling that the client desires. Generally, five basic style categories are used to help guide the client. They are formal traditional, formal modern, informal provincial, informal modern, and eclectic.

The term formal traditional refers to interior furnishings, and backgrounds from historical styles that are of the more refined or court types. Many of the traditional designs come from the 18th and early 19th centuries, an age of great prosperity during which the arts flourished in the Western world. French and English furniture styles of this period exemplify this warmth, grace, and elegance. Some of these styles have been adapted and scaled to meet present-day requirements without losing their character.

A formal modem environment can be created by employing modern furnishings, finishes, and backgrounds that are elegant and sophisticated. Art Nouveau, Art Deco, Classic Modern, and Post-Modern furniture are particularly well suited for a formal setting. Modern styles: Italian, Secession, Wiener Werkstatte, De Stijl, Bauhaus, and International style furniture may be very formal and sophisticated, depending on supportive elements. Modern Oriental is often used in a formal manner.

Historically, provincial furniture was produced in rural areas. Provincial furniture used native woods and techniques that imitated finer, more expensive finishes. The provincial interior is generally handcrafted, simple, and casual, appearing unpretentious. The look is cloistered, comfortable, and rustic. It may incorporate furniture from a number of countries as long as designs are rooted in the past and have an aura of charm and informality. Styles most commonly employed that provide this feeling are Colonial American, Medieval English (as well as simplified Georgian), French Provincial, and Spanish. Also appropriate are Dutch, Swedish, and German furnishings.

Numerous types and styles of modern furniture are available on the market, drawing principally from European, Oriental, and American designers. When an informal modern setting is preferred, generally casual fabrics with a matte finish, simple materials, and unpretentious accessories are used. Informal modem can also use fun, "funky" designs. Plastics and disposable furniture work in this style. Informal modern furniture styles particularly suitable for this direction include Scandinavian and modern furniture inspired by Japanese prototypes.

Other modern styles including Secession, De Stijl, Bauhaus and International style, Post-Modern, and Italian can generally be designed in either an informal or formal manner, depending on the supportive treatment.

The eclecticlook-which is a mixing rather than a matching one-is common. Furnishings should be related in scale and chosen with a final goal in mind.
