At Bespoke, we understand you want something personal, unique… items that capture your personality, and ones that you can combine with future purchases. Scandinavian, Industrial, and Classic styles all have a specific vibe.
Scandinavian Design: Will it Work for Your Space?
Both Scandinavian and Nordic approaches to style have a common philosophy. Spaces should be filled with light, functional, and minimalistic.
Colors:
Mostly neutral and pastel (beige, gray, and white).
Decor:
Geometrics, nature-inspired art and ceramics, living plants, minimalist approach.
Furniture
Simplicity at its best. Comfortable and practical. Clean lines.
Lighting
As much natural light as possible. Where needed, simple fixtures that maintain a welcoming ambiance and sense of coziness.
Material
Natural wood (light colors), natural fabrics including cotton, leather, and linen. Everything should feel organic.
Who is the Scandinavian Client?
If you like a clutter-free space that’s warm and welcoming, you’ll love this style. It’s great for inspiring calm after a chaotic day. The natural light is healthy and makes the rooms feel more open. Everywhere you look, there are touches of nature.
Industrial Design
In one word, industrial design can be described as urban, contrasting with the natural focus of Scandinavian design. Sometimes called Loft Style, inspiration draws from warehouses and old factories. It’s raw and rugged. Our stylists at Bespoke can achieve this for you.
Colors
Predominantly beige, gray, black, and white. Accents of copper, rust, oxidized metal, and deep green.
Decor
Plain brick, exposed pipes, metal signs, and abstract art. Using serviceable items as visual focus points.
Furniture
Reclaimed wood, leather sofas, and metal chairs. Tables may feature iron legs. Very utilitarian. Not highly decorated.
Lighting
Cage figures, exposed Edison bulbs, pendant lights, track lighting. Flat finishes in brass, copper, iron, and steel.
Materials
Wethered and distressed wood, raw or oxidized metal, and concrete.
Who is the Industrial Style Client?
If you value sustainability and love repurposing items, this style is in your wheelhouse. Everything is simple, functional, and durable with high open ceilings and an edgy feel. It leans into the masculine aesthetic. The best thing about the industrial style is that it’s easy to customize, which is something we at Bespoke specialize in. We love bringing your vision to life.
Classical Design Elements
Classic design has a timeless, elegant quality. It is far more colorful than industrial or Scandinavian, mixing rich hues and textural fabrics. Classical has ties to historical European styles, with a focus on symmetry.
Colors:
You begin with a neutral base (cream, ivory, taupe) and breathe life into it with accents of gold, emerald, burgundy, and navy.
Decor
There’s a place for everything and everything for a place. Balance is key. Oil paintings, sculptures, Persian rugs, silk, and damask pillows.
Furniture
Historical influences from Queen Anne, the Georgian, and Louis XV. Mahogany, cherry, and walnut wood. The style is graceful with upholstered seats and fanciful legs.
Lighting
Sconces, table lamps with shades, and chandeliers in crystal, bronze, brass, and gold plate. Warm lighting, dimmable options
Materials
Polished wood, natural stone, brass and bronze (mostly accents), textured fabrics
Who is the Classical Style Client?
If you love crafted architecture with proportion and balance, this is the heart of classical design. Everything is structured and put together for harmony in the home. Historical elements abound. Think refined, delicate craftsmanship, enduring materials, and overall quality.
