Design Profiles

Masculine: 

Masculine design includes the use of darker colors and cooler tones. Textiles typically include leathers, coarse textures and tougher fabrics. Lighting can be limited in use, with dimming capabilities and a soft glow. Metals are a common theme, as is the sparing use of decor pieces. The masculine design aesthetic is not geared strictly toward men! Many of these elements can be used to bring a space full circle.

The feminine design aesthetic creates a very soft feeling. Elements of a feminine design include light, soft, warm colors, delicate fabrics, rounded or curved shapes, and bright and/or natural lighting. The use of white to evoke a clean feeling is a staple of this design profile. Feminine design is one of the most broad types and can be found in nearly all completed design projects.

Whimsy:

Whimsy or whimsical design is by far the most "fun" design aesthetic. Whimsical design is all about having fun with space, specifically with the use of exaggeration. Taking colors and dialing them up a notch or layering colors and art are common ways to incorporate whimsical design. Individuals that enjoy this feeling of design are typically free-spirited and love their unique possessions and character.

Primitive:

Primitive (or antique) design embodies an appreciation for the past and elements of design from years ago. The primitive aesthetic has very few boundaries and is the easiest way to add character to any space. This design is typically created using pieces of furniture or decor rather than color and light. Pieces can often be repurposed to fit a space they normally wouldn't have in their past lives. Every completed design should include at least one primitive element.

Bold:

The bold design is exactly that: BOLD! The use of vivid colors in furniture or paint is the most common element of this profile. The intentional mixing of colors, textures, and fabrications creates bold statements and easily stimulates the mind and creative process. Bold design elements can bring any space to life... if used correctly!

Earthy:

The earthy design aesthetic revolves around one simple element - nature. In an earthy design, elements such as raw wood, stone or natural textures can be used. Greens, browns, tans and whites form the basic color palette for this profile and can range from subtle hues to vibrant bolds. This idea of layering and creating warmth through "life" is a common practice.

Ornamental:

The ornamental design profile is a unique one. This aesthetic is all about personality and creating a space that breaks through standard design boundaries and evokes a sense of self and family. Ornamental design cherishes heirlooms, family photos, personalized artwork and eclectic decor. Individuals that enjoy ornamental design typically strive for comfort and family over clean lines and "matchy-matchy" furnishings.

BoHo/Shabby Chic/Maximalism

Subtle:

Subtle design is the polar opposite of bold design. This design profile is much more reserved than all of the others though it can showcase the unexpected in a very understated way. Colors, furnishings and decor are very "safe" in nature and current to today's "contemporary" look and feel. The use of color is very minimal and monochromatic and the use of furnishings is simple, yet functional. Subtle design does not mean "boring" design, just that the elements highlighted are done so in a soft and delicate way.

Scandinavian/Mid-Century Modern/Transitional

Geometric:

The geometric design profile embodies shapes in all forms. This design aesthetic is dimensional and bold. The use of texture and color is very common in this profile and allows an individual to completely transform the perception and feeling of space and form of a room. Mixing of shapes is common and decorations are typically very minimal. Individuals who most identify with this profile are typically analytical yet creative. Shapes are essential to any design project and the use of geometric patterns is essential to a polished look.

Mid-Century Modern/Modern/Industrial

Architectural:

Architectural design is the artistic use of existing architectural elements in a space and purposefully including them in a design. The architectural profile has elements of both history and industry, though not always limited to these two factors. The use of light and bold colors (typically blues, grays and whites) are elements of this profile. Large windows, raw wood and exposed metal are also common and preferred.

Glam:

Glamorous design (or glam for short) embodies fashion. This design profile takes most of its inspiration from what's trending in fashion design, as well as soft colors and tones. Glass, shiny and mirrored surfaces are commonplace in these designs and typically have a feminine appeal to them. Exaggerated, bright light fixtures paired with oversized luxurious furniture is often preferred when designing with this profile in mind.
