Now this morning in home design, Hamish is here to define the basic design rules between four different interior style trends, morning Hamish. Good morning guys. I might as say this looks really well, exciting what you've got here. It looks really exciting when you put the neutral freech scheme on the top. Exactly. And there's not a lot of various. I just wanted to have a bit of a chat with you guys about the way you define different styles because people always say, I want that modern look or I want this look and sometimes you then look at the pictures and go, not quite. But we're going to kick off. We're going to have a look at a modern sort of color scheme. We're going to have a look at the difference between that and contemporary. So you can have a look on the screen now. You're going to see a modern look and a contemporary look. Now the difference is, modern is from the earlier 20th century through to the mid 20th century. Oh right. It spans a big, big period. It does. It does. Whereas contemporary technically is anything that is on trend now. It's a modern as old. Well, yeah, but it's modern compared to really old stuff. So the key to get around it is that modern stuff is going to have your, it's got your softer tone. It's got some quite clean lines. It's got some pops of colors. You can see they're coming in. You've got your nice greens coming in, but it's certainly more of a period from the 1950s and 1960s in particular. I like it. You will have heard of people talk about mid century modern. Yeah. Whereas, you know, a contemporary interior very much just focuses in on what is happening now. So if something is say even Scandinavian themed and it's now that would technically be a contemporary way that we're viewing it. So it's a point in time, not a reference to a style. I think I'm a scandy modern guy. I'm going to show you some colors now that I picked out. Because for each one, they'll be up online and bits and pieces for you to find the examples. Well, can I say, great that you were sharing because you're doing this app out of a job here. Well, I think it's just an easier way of doing it. So obviously every colorway is going to have a neutral of its own. So we've got a neutral slightly great off the face. This is concrete. St. Colors are bench. So that's where doubt could have left that sample at home for you, mate. And then we've got a nice soft sort of tan sort of color which sits well with it. We've got a soft sort of green. And if you wanted a bit more of a bold color, we've got more of a dual colored green as well. Okay. So these are modern. These are modern colors. These will fit your modern color palette. Mal, very modern today. Thank you. Okay. So I mean, you know, you're with all herd of mid century modern sort of stuff. It's that Scandinavian style furniture, which we'll cover off a bit better. I love it. Okay. So what's your next choice? Okay. Next we're going to talk about the loft look. Okay. Now the loft look sort of came in, you know, in the 80s and 90s. That was that very New Yorky thing. Yes, we knew. And we all knew that. So the things that you see here are concrete, brick, steel, glass, taking industrial light fittings. Now see, there's your steel staircase with your glass. They were very, very simple in their approach. And they had raw materials, which was the key. Obviously, we all mentally think about a loft look as red brick. You don't see as much of the brick thing going on the red brick in New Zealand because we don't have a lot of old brick warehouses. But certainly there we go with some color coming into it. You can have some darker moodier colors. You have slightly warmer timber tones. And that's more of your more modern loft look. So it's a new house that's sort of been designed to give it to high ceiling heights and lots of light. Okay. Cool. Right now I have got colors for you here as well. Yes. Well, shall I not show you the modern ones again? I saw you put them up. Yeah. So obviously we've got the dark gravel gray. We've got things like cabs, which is a dark cinema rowing color. And then we move through into our remaining neutrals. So there's something for everyone. You don't need to use, you don't need to paint the whole thing out white, which there was that trend white with the bricks on the wall and bits and pieces. You can have pops of color and some depth. Yes. These are all resin colors aren't they? They are. I love this. You're like cabs, I do. I'd rather have that on the floor so I can have the straightly named. It's a very much so. Okay. So what's the next trend? Okay. And what are the rules to pulling this trend off? Well, okay. The next one we're going to have a look at is French. Okay. And it's coming back the French, the French farmhouse sort of feel to it. Now the key here is they are monochromatic typically. So you've got one color that tends to blend through. You can introduce pops of color. They are very calm houses. They feel more like homes. So that's when you get that look where you say someone actually lives here. As opposed to that minimalist look where you've got absolutely nothing. And you can bring through soft, carols, these soft grays with the whites tends to be more of a grade off effect to the house. But you've actually got some stuff which is kind of nice. I quite like the French look. I think it works quite well with our villas and our bungalows. You can bring it into that sort of trend as well. No, I especially want to do lots of high ceilings and stuff too. It looks awesome. Yeah. And your color comes in a bit more with your artwork. Okay. So here we go. Nice. French color scheme. Very neutral. If you wanted a bit of power you can have a little bit of a green gray. But then as you can see it sits more in your sort of beijers and torps and things like that. Okay. Beautiful resines. Does he bulk? Yeah. I know. I know. Actually what is this green? I love this green. Resine temples don't you? There you go. Nice. Okay. So one more trend you've got for us and what are the tips to make this one really work? Right. Well, this is the one that everyone likes. This is Scandi. Okay. So I get asked for this a lot at the moment and Scandinavian themes are white straight lines typically and with the timber force but they don't just have to be white. You can bring in your pastels and your color. So the white may be slightly blue based like we're looking at a screen now. It's it's sharp but not too sharp. We're bringing in our grays and they tend to be more of a softer mid-gray that we're choosing. And right there you can add color. You see you've got your pastel pinks, your pastel moves, your pastel greens. That works really well with your timber. So yeah. It doesn't just have to white in timber. Okay. You can bring it in influence and color with it and now we have my colors. Okay. These are from Rosina again. Yeah. So I've actually put in a dark color which you want to see in the pictures. Some people like a darker tone. Yeah. Okay. And then we've got our soft apricotty pages, our soft blues, more of a turquoisey aqua blue, blusher pink, Rosina color, amazing and then a neutral of course because you would want some white somewhere in the property. Blusher pink highly recommend if you have a child who wants pink as their room color. Beautiful. It's a slightly more growing up pink rather than a baby pink. It's not going to do you hear it every time you walk in. Yeah. Sometimes I do. Okay. These are my two favorites. They have modern and scanned and so forth. And funnily enough of course, Scandi fits into modern because it was the 1950s. It does. Hey, thank you. Hey, Michelle. Thanks. Now to see more on these colors you can hit to resume dark color effect.
