It has been said time and again that a house reflects the personality of the owner. No wonder most home owners do not only invest on the house construction, they also spend a huge amount of money on the interior design of their homes.
In this special feature, Subnet Construction will provide you the different types of interior design along with pictures of our own interior design samples.
Minimalist Interior Design
This type of interior design believes that “less is more”. It is the simplest of all designs because everything is minimal. It is devoid of distractions or clutter. Its color palettes are neutral and airy. The furniture set up can include only the essential pieces as shown on our own designs below.

This refers to the current design, which is modern and constantly evolving. It is neither too cold nor too formal. It includes open and cozy spaces, plenty of light, unusual layouts, neutral colors, and very light or very dark wood tones. It is often confused with the modern interior design. It is however more fluid and less adherent to one particular style. Metals and glass are popular contemporary materials and intricate details are kept to a minimum. Unlike in a modern interior design, contrast is not created with bright hues. Shades of the similar color are often used in contemporary interior design to bring about depth and variety.

This type of interior design provides the feeling of warmth and comfort through colors, furniture designs, and furniture placement. A sense of order and familiarity is reflected from the architecture and the accessories. One of the signature elements of the traditional style is its use of abundant fabrics. Along with upholstered furniture, you will find a heavy hand with curtains and other window treatments. While the photo below does not exemplify a whole traditional look, you can look at the headboard and the bedside table that are both inspired by the classic traditional design.

It is often characterized by clean, simple lines, and plenty of wood and rusty metals. Some of the furniture inspired by this type of interior designs include the Elton arm chair, wood dining chairs, and wood or upholstered platform beds, as shown on our own designs below.
