In this way they achieved a combination of old and modern pieces, used and new, that over the years was acquiring an unmistakable identity to end up bearing his own name, the shabby chic style.

As for the accessories, these are reduced to the minimum expression allowing some plant, candle or painting, although always in a very succinct way.

Loft style
The loft style It has its origin in the 50s when students and artists from New York, unable to afford the expensive prices to buy or rent a home in the city, began to enable premises for offices and premises to turn them into spaces in which to live and work at much cheaper prices.

Dröm Living
Minimalist style
Although it seems quite the opposite, it is one of the most difficult styles to obtain, since it is fundamentally about with the right and essential elements in spaces without them being too scarce and always keeping order and harmony.
That inclination of minimalist style to reduce to the essential produces sober and austere spaces where the neutral colors such as white, black and gray, predominantly textures and smooth surfaces and prints and drawings are absent in their absence. Sometimes we can find some color license, usually in the few accessories and works of art, which are usually in bright colors in contrast to the prevailing neutrality.

Glam style
Completely opposite to the minimalist, the glam style it's a style sumptuous, elegant, sophisticated, that even sometimes it can border on extravagance and in which the slogan "more is more" is the slogan to follow. Its source of inspiration has its origins in the art deco current from the years 20-30, being able to also use elements of the mid-century style and the classic style.
For this, he does not skimp on the use of materials with an intrinsic brightness such as glass, aluminum, lacquered or mirror surfaces. White, black, fuchsia, pink and even blue colors abound, combined with silver and gold everywhere and where the lighting is key, with lamps that stand out for their shape and size and that become the focal point of any decoration glam style that prides itself

Eclectic Style
The style for those who flee from labels, which in essence it's not a style in itself, but they are as many as people put it into practice in their home, because it is only a matter of translating the particular tastes and personality from one in the spaces without sticking to no concrete rule.
Here anything goes, as long as the composition is done with a certain taste and is not too bizarre. Classic objects mixed with modern furniture, rustic, industrial, .., contrasts chromatic attempts, mix of textures and different materials. Without a doubt, it is the best option for those who like to risk and who have no fear of the opinions of third parties.
