There are many factors that affect the odds of a person winning the lottery but, statistically, a person’s chances of hitting the jackpot (picking the right six numbers from a pool of 49 choices) is at 1 in 13,983,816 or, approximately, 1 in 14 million.
That’s an awful lot of numbers with just one shot at winning but, hey, what if you really do become a winner, have you ever thought of how you’ll spend your money? Most people think of building their own house but what style do you have in mind?
Traditional Style
This is the interior design for people who want the classic details in their home. These are the dark, finished woods, different textures, exciting color palettes, and curvy lines. The ornate details include velvet, brocade and silk.
An exciting way to dress up your home with traditional style is to add depth, use layers, and to add a sense of dimensionality to whole ensemble. Both rustic and French country styles could fall under this style with the first being focused on stone and wood features while the other uses warmer tones of red, yellow and gold.
Modern Style
Modern is not an exact term actually but it often refers to a house that has clean lines and a basic color palette. Materials that are commonly used in such a home are metal, steel, and glass.
The furnishings in this home are also simple yet sleek. Don’t try looking for clutter here because you won’t find any (well, at least that’s the general notion).
Contemporary Style
A lot of people interchange modern and contemporary styles. But if you look more closely, you will find a lot of differences.
Contemporary interior design, in a nutshell, is a style that’s based on what’s hot right now. Modern design, on the other hand, strictly implements interpretations of the styles beginning from the 20th century.
Contemporary design is also more fluid, thus, you can be more creative on this realm. It could include curvy lines in one home whereas the next home could be more simplistic.
Scandinavian Style
This is the interior design that pays homage to the simplistic approach to life that the Nordic peoples do. The furniture pieces here are simple but all works of art. There is function for each piece, although, they remain aesthetically interesting.
A lovely offshoot of this style is the shabby chic style where white and neutral elements are also given emphasis.
Minimalist Style
This concept is getting more and more popular each year. It has elements of modern interior design with its color palettes being airy and neutral. The furnishings are also streamlined with nothing being excessive or flamboyant.
Minimalism can be defined in two words – clean lines.
Mid-Century Modern Style
If you’d like a throwback sort of look, sometime in the mid-1900s specifically the 50s till the 60s, then you could go nostalgic. Add a fuss-free look with pared down forms, egg-shaped chairs, and organic shapes.
This is a style that can easily complement any house structure.
Industrial Style
As this style’s name implies, it is a design that’s inspired by warehouses and urban lofts. You will see a lot of unfinished elements. There’s a kind of rawness that gives emphasis to wood, bricks, even the ductwork. Think of metal fixture pendants, high ceilings and old timber and you’re right at home with the industrial style.
If you’re feeling up for burst of color somewhere, then you could use abstract art or flamboyant photography to complete the look.
Transitional Style
This is getting to be more popular each year, too, because it can work for any house. This suits the homeowners who are still unsure about the eventual interior design that they would use for their place.
Transitional design could use modern elements like glass or steel while still using plush furnishings. This style also makes use of neutral colors to create a relaxed space that’s inviting and warm.
There are other styles that can make you happy when you finally win the lottery. There’s Bohemian, eccentric, Hollywood glam, Art Deco, Victorian, and many more.
Just be sure to choose whichever style speaks to you.
