An interior design “theme” is a hard-to-define idea for many homeowners. It’s like the narration behind the scene you set in a space…it’s the continuity that ties everything together in a style that radiates “you.”
What IS a design theme, though, and how does it differ from a design concept or an interior design style?
Interior design themes are most helpful when they guide you as you make selections. Otherwise, design “themes” and “concepts” and “styles” only slap labels on what you love…and the REAL decision should come down to what you love, nothing more.
If the popularity of today’s personality quizzes are any sign, we clearly DO have fun learning what “labels” can be applied to us. It’s natural!
