Deciding which design you want is not an easy feat. That is why it is important to explore your options to make a choice that will highlight the interior design that reflects your personality and taste. Bergen white oak hardwood flooring has a natural light colour highlighting well all of the grains and knots. While the Bergen stain can match many different interior designs, we will only be diving into 3 interior designs that it matches: bohemian, industrial, and traditional. While the environment you live in can affect your decision, this is more about what style you like and are willing to make a home out of.

Bohemian Interior Design

Bohemian style incorporates light and warm colours. Legs, handles, and any furniture will have a thin, straight, and either golden or wooden appearance making the design lighter to the eye. This design creates an ambience that often matches free-spirited people and those with lots of curiosity. If you love keeping clutter around, this would also be a perfect interior design for you to try out as it is one of the only interior designs out there that embraces this quality. A bohemian design represents beauty, culture and chaos in the household, whether it is a mansion or an apartment. 

Industrial Interior Design

Looking at the other side of the colour palette for Bergen, the industrial interior design would also be an important style to consider. Playing more with a darker ambiance, industrial design features a lot of imperfections such as uneven walls, crooked chairs, and flooring with lots of grains and knots. This style uses lots of raw materials and leaves them exposed, thus showing imperfections. The recommended furniture is a mix of weathered wood, rusty silver or copper, and antiques. If darker colours are not for you but you are still interested in trying out this interior design, creamy, grey, and gold colours can still be used and still have an outstanding result. 

Traditional Interior Design

The traditional Interior design has European routes. This design has been used for many centuries and will never be outdated.  With the three main colours being gold/brown, white and beige, or black, gold/brown, and grey, for those who prefer darker shades, the interior is designed with lots of small details filling all of the furniture with precise small curves and images. Walls are often decorated with wood panelling on the bottom with matched wallpaper on the top, including the colour gold with no more than three colours in total. This type of design allows for lots of fancy accessories that not only fit but feature well the interior design. It brings the feeling of warmth and familiarity and at the same time gives a rich feel to the interior. 

Always consider what makes you or your client comfortable when selecting an interior design solution. If you an artist and free at heart, a bohemian interior design is a good choice to consider. If you like imperfections or are too busy and still want style, the industrial design might be a good option for you. If you are a perfectionist that likes a traditional approach in many aspects of your life, consider the traditional design. Let your imagination guide you!
