A hybrid of Scandinavian and Japanese interior decorating styles, Japandi style is a form of minimalism that focuses on uncluttered spaces, wood elements, clean lines, light color palettes, and soft furnishings.
Maximalism

“More is better” is the philosophy behind maximalist style. Unlike its minimalist counterpart, maximalism embraces a wide range of colors, mismatched patterns, and funky decor to showcase eccentric personalities.
Urban Jungle

Urban jungle style is characterized by its abundance of greenery, which creates a jungle-like feel. The base decorating style can be anything from boho to industrial, as long as the emphasis is on houseplants.
