The styles

The Shabby style is a style in which we find a patina finish that boasts a bit of a worn look. Especially in pale colors such as gray and beige. In this style, contemporary and classic blend well. In terms of chic, this would encompass the textures and finishes.

i.e.: mirrored furniture, crystal lamps, chrome accessories and silky fabrics.

Shabby Chic

The interiors are refined and expose raw materials such as stone, concrete, wood slats. Even the granite loses its gloss.The furniture is very design; this style (even industrial) promotes open areas exposing the piping and air conditioning.The ceilings are high and the windows are often soaring.

Industrial (urban-rustic)

Another style that will remain popular in 2014, this is our country style revisited, more refined. The wood is pale or even pastel or platinum.

Oxidized metal is essential. The walls are often covered with paneling painted white. Finally, the fabrics are natural materials (linen, raw cotton and wool).

Completed, printed and coordinated colorful tiles.
