Style guides

Twelve ways to do a room, and how to get each one.

Render Homes designs one room at a time from a photo: a picture of your room redesigned, the colours to paint it, and every piece priced and linked, for £150. These are the styles we design in, with the palette, the materials, the one thing to do first, and honest answers to the questions people ask us most. Pick the one that pulls at you, or see a finished plan first.

Japandi interiorJapandiJapandi is Japanese restraint meeting Scandinavian warmth: low furniture, natural wood, plaster-toned walls and very little on show.Warm Modern interiorWarm ModernWarm modern is the style most people mean when they say they want a room to feel 'done' without feeling like a showroom.Scandi interiorScandiScandinavian style is about light.Mid-Century interiorMid-CenturyMid-century is the style of the 1950s and 60s made liveable: tapered legs, walnut, curved sofas, and a confident use of colour.Coastal interiorCoastalCoastal, done properly, has nothing to do with driftwood signs.Luxe interiorLuxeLuxe is depth and richness: dark painted walls, velvet, marble, brass, and low warm light.Bohemian interiorBohemianBohemian is layering: rugs on rugs, plants at every height, textiles from more than one place, and colour that doesn't match so much as agree.Traditional interiorTraditionalTraditional means a room that would have made sense fifty years ago and still does: rolled-arm sofas, a proper rug, table lamps, framed pictures, and colours from a paint chart rather than a trend.Art Deco interiorArt DecoArt deco is glamour with geometry: curved furniture, fluted surfaces, brass, mirror and bold symmetry.Industrial interiorIndustrialIndustrial is exposed structure made comfortable: brick, steel, concrete and reclaimed wood, softened with leather, wool and warm light.Modern Minimal interiorModern MinimalModern minimal is fewer things, chosen carefully, with the space between them doing the work.Rustic interiorRusticRustic is warmth from materials: rough wood, stone, linen and clay, in a room that feels like it was furnished over time.
