This one is a doozy! Let me know in the comments if you have any other interesting insights into any of these styles - I'm not an expert in 50 styles so I'd love to hear from you! Also the deep dive videos into a bunch of these styles are linked in the description. Also, here are the VERY important timestamps for easy reference later. Enjoy!

You missed my style, solarpunk! The aesthetic is very biophilic, with an emphasis on used or handmade items, sustainability and lots of plants. It spawns from a cool philosophy/literary movement too!
Thanks for this Nick, could you deep dive into major ones, with examples and how to adapt it?
I absolutely love this!
I appreciate the alphabetical order🙏
Wow. That was amazing. Really.
This entire video needs to be made into a coffee table book! Then my 32 friends who aren’t coming over to sit on my ottomans can 👏 get 👏 their 👏 design 👏 styles 👏 together. 😂Thank you for this amazing run through so many styles Nick! Great job. 😘
I understood that reference! 😅
Came here to say this but see you already did! YES!!
Great reference! 😂
Love this comment 😂
I would buy that
This 25 min was better than 2 hours of Pinterest. Thank you!!!
Right??? I sometimes skip through long videos, but I could not tear myself away from this one, in fact, I went back and re-watched some parts. I'm going to watch again and take notes on the styles I love.
Literally I was trying to explain this to my friends and I was dreading the thought of having to make like 20000 pinterest boards
Ya so true
Nick I am BEGGING YOU
I have been searching for years for a book that lists every possible design style and goes into detail on them like an encyclopedia. This video is an amazing primer on a bunch of styles, but if you have a resource for people who want to really dig into the weeds of the topic, PLEASE SHARE IT
I second this and am replying with the hope that someone will reply with a recommendation and I'll get a notification about it from TH-cam 😅
I am also begging. Please hook us up, I need dream fuel
I am also joining the begging!!
Should I do it?
@@Nick_Lewis I would 100% buy it I don't care how much it costs I would fit it into my budget
Nick: 'And a "live laugh love" sign, let's be honest.' This absolutely killed me, LOL! You just can't help throwing in a dig against Modern Farmhouse, can you? But I just love that; it's a blessing to know what you like and, more importantly, what you don't like. Thanks for the video.
We know how much Nick loves modern farmhouse!! Especially those barn doors!! 😂
I really can’t. I tried hard not to share my opinion as much in this one.
@@Nick_Lewis An admirable attempt. I feel your pain. 😊
Gotta say I've been waiting for him to say something like this LOL
🤣 I was waiting for it... Waiting for it and voilà. Delivered! Hahaha
Nick you are my favorite interior designer on TH-cam. It’s not just your intelligence, it’s your adorable personality. ❤
Totally agree with you NuNu Girl !
❤
A lot of these feel like secondary styles. So when you're trying to find your style it seems like it'd be useful to identify a main style with a couple of supports (which is probably how fusion styles happen. it becomes really popular to pick the same supports for your main style e.g. Japandi). So maybe you like minimalism but you incorporate biophilic and Japanese design styles to support your overall minimalist aesthetic. I don't know what this would be for me exactly but it's something to think on!
Totally. Plenty of overlap. The names do get thrown around a lot though so I wanted to have a one stop shop video that included nearly everything.
@@Nick_Lewis Oh it's for sure needed! I just meant that I found it interesting how many of the styles could slot so nicely together. I will be absolutely referencing the video a whole lot as I keep working on my own house 😊
@@Nick_Lewis thank you, very helpful
Yes! I love to tell ppl to categorize in macro and micro terms. Start with a macro term, and then for more detail, pepper in the micro terms to help paint a better picture.
Lisa Holt gives these three big overarching styles (traditional, transitional and modern) and then Nick gives 50 micro styles.
I think I need the inbetween layer too! 😂
I love that you’re trying to speak about them each objectively, but that I can still see a faint smirk when there’s one you aren’t a fan of 😂🙏🏼 this was educational!
I think I’m four+ styles….that don’t overlap! When I was trying to decorate with the interior matching the exterior of a pre-1835 federal colonial, every weekend I’d be going thru wallpaper books at a Sherwin Williams. One Saturday, the woman who worked in the wallpaper section, said she saw me so many times, going through the books, and wondered if she could help. She brought out two books, opened the books and asked which paper I liked better. After going through pairs of books, we moved to a different section, and compared one of the first group of books, with the new one. I started seeing several papers that I liked, and she finally looked at me, and said that I just didn’t like colonial! She termed me “country casual”. After that, the selections went quickly. I am so grateful to her! 40 years later, I’d still be there every weekend
Lot of work went into this video, so thank you for that. Not easy to pinpoint my aesthetic, but after watching it gave me more clarity...traditional/transitional/eclectic, I think? Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it.
Where has this video been all my life??? Thank you!!
Thank you so much Nick for compiling this beast! I learned so much here and now I can kind of name the mix of styles I'm drawn to. You must be incredible at helping people create unique environments that reflect who they are.
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed it.
Very true, its so helpful its easy to create what you want❤🎉
Turn this into a book and call it 'The ABC's of design'
This was super helpful for me! I've known that I like American Colonial, Art Deco, and Dark Academia, but it never really clicked that it's because they all favor darker colors, lots of wood, and have a weight to them. I've got a better idea of how to start visualizing my future house now.
I liked how he gave a mention to "Light Academia", too, as it fits well with the Amer Colonial and Traditional styles I favor, yet without being quite so heavy as the Dark Academia.
I like coastal without all the fish and naval stuff. I like the color pallet and the airy look of it. i grew up in Florida, so it makes me nostalgic.
Hi Nick! You forgot: 1. Bloomsbury Group - led by Vanessa Bell (sister of Virginia Woolf) and Duncan Grant. Very eccentric with painted furniture, painted walls, painted fireplaces and painted crockery. It lightened up the post Victorian era. 2. British Aristocrat - oversized art and furniture, heavy with textiles and books, eccentric and lots of gilt. (Sometimes looks struggling - like broke Aristocrat.) 3. Native American - bigger than Southwestern because cultural for all of the entire continent - Canada, America and South America. Thanks - what a fun video! 💐 💐
Wow. Thank you! As an architect, I really appreciate learning a vocabulary I can use to describe interiors in an abbreviated way.
They didn't teach you history of architecture styles in school?! One of the first classes I took as an interior designer was history for interior design & architecture from the stone age to the present. Took 2 classes to cover it all.
My favourites:
04:46 Chinoiserie
09:16 French Provincial
15:45 Moroccan
16:10 Neoclassic
you forgot the “poor” style. Where you use that $9 ikea coffee table as the focal point of the room
Does this include the hand-me-down style?
That would be included in ecclectic.
Thanks, 90s grunge is all I can think about now 😂
You just made it very clear to me why I don't have a specific style... There are way too many great ones to choose from.
Thank you for putting so much valuable information in one video. If you ever feel like it, I would love a series where you talk about each style in a longer format...
Nick this video is everything! I would really love if you could make videos like this for the styles that “over-lap” but focusing on their differences to help your audience develop more of an eye for interior design. I’m sure this video alone was a TON of work. I applaud you and appreciate your efforts. I hope to see more like this.
Like a venn diagram of styles
Hi
I would have loved a mention of British colonial but I guess tropical is under that umbrella,, love the relaxing feel of being at a resort that I'll never be able to afford 😊
My husband and I struggled to identify our personal styles on our rehab house, and this video really helped. Thanks Nick!
This was super helpful and informative - thank you! There are two styles that I love, but didn’t see here: 1. Island style / colonial Caribbean and 2. SE Asian colonial, either French or British found all over Asia from South Asia all the way to Singapore, Malaysia, Cambodia and Vietnam. Balinese style could also be its own vibe.
Island style!!! thank you. I was calling it Castaway but that works too.
I know what you mean, with in laws that live in a former British colony that is in the Caribbean it is definitely a different style.
Ah I know you what you mean. I call it Indochine after the film.
Definitely agree on this.. Indochine, pacific island, China, Peranakan, Bali, tropical are my favourite too.
Yes, loved this video, but British Colonial style seemed to be conspicuously absent.
Kudos to you on a fantastic presentation paired with photographic examples.
Informative and entertaining.
Wow your magnum opus no doubt. This was so much fun to watch. It took us so long to finish as we kept stopping and discussing. Definitely will go on my watch again list. Thanks
Wow! Quite a triumph! Thank you and God bless you, Nick.
Great video! ❤ I don't think I've yelled absolutely not so many times watching a video. 😂 Some design styles I can appreciate without wanting to live in. Some, looking at you post modern, make my teeth hurt looking at them. 😂
I'm mid-century modern and related all the way.
ETA- Anything involving an egg chair has my blessing.
Nick, you should write a book with all these design styles. I'd love to have it for reference 🥰
NICK! Is Victorian not a design style??? My entire home is based on the Victorian era!!! Is it just considered an era???... You did a fantastic job on this video, btw! I don't know anyone else who could blow out so much info so quickly ❤❤❤❤
Same! I was waiting for it.
Yes, I was wondering from the start if such an iconic style would be included.
@@beebeebop3405 what could be larger than these 2 styles? i know steam punk isn't!
The thing about Victorian style is there isn't just one Victorian style. Gothic for example, which he covered here, is one of Victorian styles popular in the mid-19th century. But you also had styles such as Neoclassical (and sub-categories Greek Revival, Egyptian Revival, etc), Louis XIV, Eastlake, Art Nouveau (which he covered here), etc. It's important to keep in mind the Victorian era covered a span of over 60 years. So, in my opinion at least, there isn't really a simple "Victorian" style. Just my two cents.
Also a book I really liked when I was younger and super into Victorian decor was "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Victoriana (A Comprehensive Guide to the Designs, Customs, and Inventions of the Victoria Era)" by Nancy Ruhling. It's not JUST interior/architectural design, but it does have a lot of info on it and I always found it fancinating. Not a deep dive on one topic, of course, but it can help you identify which aspects of Victoriania you like and then you can do more research from there. :)
This video is something I can hang many other interior design videos on as structural support. Thank you!
This was such a helpful video. I feel like I've always known what styles I like, but now I have the vocabulary to articulate what I want in my space. Thank you Nick!
This video is so helpful and informative! It also made me realize how euro-centric American design is and how many styles (chinoiserie, African, etc) are interpreted thru the lens of their previous colonizers aka oppressors. It’d be great if you could do a video showcasing the authentic styles of these countries
I'm thinking there is no "American" style, unless you go native American. Southwestern is probably the closest you will get to true Native American style. We are imitators of the places we came from.
Very helpful❤🎉
Organic Modern, Scandinavian and Pacific Northwestern are definitely my favourites. Love the concept of this video! Wouldn't be surprised if it goes viral. Thank you for this.
You really outdid yourself here Nick. Totally enjoyed this CRASH course in style.
This was a lot of information about the different styles, shared with knowledge from your expertise. Thank you.
I never knew there were that many design styles. I can see the overlap between styles. Guess we have Coastal Contemporary, but it’s a collection of things through out our lives that makes us happy and comfortable in our house. ❤
Very helpful and so many styles to choose what you like❤🎉
This is like a 25 minute history recap of interior design. Nice job!
Great video!! You had some great pics for each style. I am wondering if you could do a video on what to do with "builder" basic homes? So many pics just do not reflect every-day life. I would love to see how you would decorate a basic home. Thx!! ❤
I thought my decorating style was Traditional/Contemporary but now I know it's actually Coastal/Transitional! That helps SO much! No wonder I couldn't find things to update my house. I now have a specific section to look. Things sometimes have gotten too hodgepodge when I've tried to make them work and it doesn't look right. Thanks Nick!
Just fabulous!! I found some new styles I've not heard of. You are a gem.
Applause for explaining all these different design styles while holding in personal opinion! 👏 Very informative and eye opening. We are slowly designing our home and I loved the breakdown and photo examples. It made it very easy for me to distinguish between different pieces I own and I am looking at. Farm house was one I could tell you struggled with, but you got through! Love it! Love you❤
I love Dark Academia at the moment!
The current bedroom design at the moment is dark academia/ deep vintage/ whiskey bar with a good sprinkling of biophilia/ Forest of Dean!
Otherwise kitchen and living spaces are more Japandi, like having different vibes for different rooms! (however having plants and greens throughout for consistency)
The interior design video I’ve been looking for, thank you!
My favorites
Biophilic 3:48
Eclectic 7:15
Industrial 12:11
Japanese 12:58
Japandi 13:27
Mid-century modern 14:50
Minimalist 15:27
Moroccan 15:57
Organic Modern 16:34
Post modern 18:04
Scandinavian 18:40
Southwestern 19:41
I actually agree, except for Japanese and Moroccan.
I think that would make you eclectic!
I love watching your videos. This was by far my favorite! It really showed me what I don't care for at all and, more importantly, what I really love--transitional, arts and crafts, rustic, modern farmhouse. I have heard you talk about many, many of these styles and am aware of the ones that you don't particularly like. Great video!!
I love this video by you. Never realized they were so many different interior styles. My favorite is Tuscan . Keep us updated. Love this video. Thank you
This video is so incredibly helpful and informative! Thank you!
omg idk if anyone else plays House Flipper and The Sims and stuff but this just gave me SO much inspiration for styles to decorate with, haha! So many styles I didn't even know existed, and also I now have much more clarity on the differences between a few of the really similar ones. Thank you for this, I'd LOVE indepth looks at some of these in the future! This is AMAZING.
The most comprehensive and to-the-point video on this topic! You could always break it into three or four videos and make your job easier..but you didn’t and for that I thank you so much! Now we have one of the best videos to consult! ❤..and in alphabetical order too!! 😊
What a great overview of the styles. Thank you
I love some of these the ‘50’s designs. My grandparents had a starburst light fixture in their front hall. Loved it!
Nick, I think it would be cool to do a series evaluating famous movie set styles. Some of these movie sets have beautiful interior designs. The Great Gatsby for Art Deco, Lord of the Rings for Art Nouveau, etc.
I so appreciate your efforts in putting this together. It certainly helps to clarify those labels!
This is a super cool video; really appreciate it! My ideal version of this would be this, but with the same or very similar spaces shown again and again in different styles, to get a sense of how they might compare to one another more directly.
Thank you so much for creating this video and explaining all the different styles, it’s amazing source of knowledge and I feel really inspired by watching it :)
Wow! A deep dive, for sure. I immediately recognized the styles that appeal to me, but definitely appreciated some others that I'd like to investigate. Incredible content!!
Very beautiful styles and informative❤
BRAVO!!! That was a ln amazing feat!!! You DEFINITELY deserve major kudos for getting all that info out in a short period of time!! I learned a lot about the differences and how definitions matter. Thank you for such an informative vid!
This was great! Informative, clear, succinct, and helpful especially to people looking at figuring out their ideal home design aesthetics! :) Thanks for sharing.
This video was fantastic to watch! Thank you, Nick. I was able to finally find my style or at least label it if someone were to ask me. This was so informative. Thank you so much!!
I would also gladly watch an extremely long version of this. I sent this video to my aunt to help her google inspo for her house.
Very informative❤
Wow I can see the work that you put into assembling this video. Yes there are overlaps in styles and I like that. One thing I miss seeing is Victorian. Not the museum-like rooms of a few decades ago. More livable rooms that are still in keeping with the original principles. There are so many Victorian homes where the current owners want to show their appreciation of that style while fitting into today’s way of life.
Wonderful! Definitely helped me figure out my design style.
Loved this video so much especially since I’m still figuring out my interior design style and I have to say it’s a mix of so many styles you mentioned here. This is gonna help me shop my style better as I curate my home. Please give a part 2! So many more styles you can discuss like Korean, Indochine, etc. Can’t wait to see what you put out next ❤
Hi! No chance you’d consider doing like a series where you cover a few interlocking styles and how they differ?
I’d also love to see videos on the sourcing process! Like how does one take an inspiration picture and find products that are similar or evoke that image at different price points
So rare I leave comments but this video was hands down SO HELPFUL! I can finally put some words to my aesthetic design style. Love your channel and sense of humour! Thank you!
Glad my style was one of the first ones (art deco), but was enchanted to hear you talk about _Dark Academia_ , _Gothic_ and _Steampunk_ . Usually, they are left out.
YESSSSSSS Thank you for making this video! I can't count how many times I've watched your Interior Design Styles playlist. Would love to see more episodes, especially one about industrial design 💛💛
Fantastic presentation. Some of them I was familiar with, but so many I was not! I definitely fall in a few categories! Great job, Nick.
Extremely interesting and fun! You did a great job covering these styles and showing examples of them. I thoroughly enjoyed this! Thank you for your hard work!!
Fascinating video, Nick! I love that you gave a thumbnail definition and views of each style...AND you included timestamps for review of our favorites! Very informative, very well done!
You are absolutely amazing!! Awesome. This was one of the most informative videos that I've seen. Your wealth of knowledge is endless and priceless......Bravo
This is your best video ever...concise, clear and inclusive
I've always thought my preferred style was Traditional, but after watching this I realize it's actually Transitional. Thank you so much Nick, this was incredibly eye opening. I am so happy to be a new subscriber!
Thank you for this. I found it very informative and so very helpful.
WOW! Thanks, Nick for the overview of the various styles. I can't even imagine how much time you spent gathering the photos and creating this video. Many thanks!
Omg, I have loved your channel for a while but this video blew my mind! I work as a professional digital designer and would like to someday do interior design work in a more professional capacity too, so this primer helped so many trends I’ve observed “click” into place. Thank you for this!
Concise, clear, inclusive...good job!
OMG I have watched this 3 times! Thank you so much for the amazing video. I am new to your channel, but I'm already a huge fan!
Loved this video! You always hear about the different design styles, but you never see a good explanation of them. Very informative - thanks for the info!
Thanks so much for this! It was fascinating to see all these styles together. I can't describe myself as anything other than eclectic, since I've always just bought whatever I liked, but I've recently made a rule for myself that I'm only allowed one atomic era item per room, because I don't want my house to look like The Jetsons. But they're just so fun!
Wow, I bet that was a lot of work for you to plan/script. Thank you! I now have a short list of the styles that I feel most drawn to which is so helpful! I have a lovely home but it’s time for a complete makeover and I’ve felt a bit paralyzed up until now. Wish me luck as I start my project! 🤞😁
I love this tutorial on historical design styles & quick comments on how each influences each other
Thanks for the very informative video. There are so many design styles that it can be overwhelming to sort through them, so videos like this are so helpful.
Enjoy your birthday week. This video must have taken you quite some time to put together. Thank you for a well thought-out , planned informational interior design presentation. I found it extremely helpful and enjoyable.❤
I was about 6 minutes in when I realized you were going alphabetical order. It made my heart zing! This is the video I didn't even know I needed. It is almost a mini text book of design and a great reference for filling my new home this year. Great idea and perfect execution!!!!
I've watched about 25 "interior design style" type videos, and the ones I really love are the ones that help me understand the history of the style and what it was in response to. Really makes the intent of the style make sense. Thank you as always.
Just when I was admiring your restraint…You had to mention a sign in the farmhouse😅
This is fantastic, thank you so much for doing this, Nick!
Renovating our house right now - top to bottom - and I needed this!! I'd define my style as bohemian/English Countryside/Transitional! Would have said Arts and Crafts before - but that explanation of English Countryside really helped me get words to the way I like to decorate and design.
Nick you are simply the best. You deliver interior design info at an elevated level here on YT. You are my favorite interior designer on this platform. Thank you!

Thank you! Very helpful
Thank you Nick for pulling this all together for us! It must have been exhausting and time consuming. Who knew there were so many styles? As a non professional I knew which photos spoke to me but never knew how to express what I liked. I’m now going to take a deeper dive into Chinoiserie, Coastal, Contemporary, French Provincial and Grand Millennial/Grandma Chic. I would have never been able to put these styles into words in a million years. I always thought I was locked into the Transitional style. Ever think of a nice, big coffee table book covering this?
I would buy that coffee table book, Nick!!!
I am adding this one to a Playlist as I can see myself referring to it often. I appreciate the amount of work it took to put all of this together and think it would also be an excellent book or manual.
This was amazing. I feel like you gifted me the ultimate encyclopedia on interior design, but in a quick video form. Or ultimate crash course. I’m absolutely saving this for future reference. Thank you so much!
Fantastic video! This is so helpful! Thank you! 😊
The only tweek I'd make to your definition of Cottagecore is that it also incorporates an element of fantasy: elves, fairies, mushrooms on everything, etc. "Cottagecore" is a relatively new form of Cottage style, and it often incorporates pastels as you said -- while the other cottage styles usually don't. This is in contrast to the more "mainstream" Cottage styles, which have been around since at least the Victorian Era. There are many sub-styles within the Cottage Style genre: English Cottage/English Country Cottage, French Cottage/French Country Cottage, Rustic, American Storybook, American Rustic, etc. So really, the term "Cottagecore" isn't interchangeable with the rest of the genre because it's a specific decor style rather than a general, "catch-all" description.
What a great video! I’ve never seen so many styles explained with images of examples, and it was great to put a specific style to furnishings and decor to which I’m drawn. Thank you!
Love this. Its like speed dating a bunch of styles. I am just now getting to a point where I can afford to decorate my home and dont know where to start. This is fabulous where I can see a bunch of styles and then do a deep dive on ones i like. thanks!
Wow! Well done, Nick!
