Tres Chic! All About Avant-Garde Interior Design

Interior design has taken a turn for the extraordinary with avant-garde style. Unlike traditional approaches, this trend pushes boundaries and creative expression through innovation, bold color palettes, unique materials, and unusual shapes & forms. 

 

What is Avant-Garde Interior Design?

Drawing inspiration from art & architecture to challenge conventional ideas of ‘good’ interior design, it could be anything from salvaged furniture pieces paired together in unexpected ways or eye-catching lighting fixtures that lend themselves as conversation starters. Each detail is beautifully crafted while making a statement! Avant-garde design is a bold and daring style that can transform modern and traditional spaces. But be aware these striking elements may not appeal to all tastes – the purpose of this artistic approach is often to prompt conversation through its edgy aesthetic. As such, it’s essential to consider whether you’re ready for an avant-garde lifestyle before making any decisions! Designing your home in an avant-garde style can be a fun and creative process. Here are some tips to help you get started:

 

 

Incorporate the unexpected into your interior design by experimenting with various shapes and forms. Avant-garde designs boast dynamic silhouettes, such as curved chairs, angled tables, or textured rugs in irregular patterns–all sure to grab attention!

 

 

Play with color: Avant-garde design is not afraid of bold, unexpected color combinations. Consider using bright, contrasting hues to create a vibrant and dynamic space. To add depth and interest, you can also experiment with different textures and finishes.

 

Incorporate unique materials: Avant-garde design often uses unexpected materials, such as salvaged wood, industrial metals, and repurposed materials. Look for furniture, lighting, and decor made from unusual materials to give your space a distinctive look.

 

 

Consider the overall atmosphere: Avant-garde design is often associated with a futuristic, high-tech look, but it can also be moody and dramatic. Consider the overall atmosphere you want to create in your space and choose decor that helps to achieve that mood.

 

 

Avant-garde design is about mixing and matching styles to create a unique and eclectic space. Feel free to combine vintage and modern pieces or mix different design styles to create something new and unexpected.

 

 

Embrace minimalism: Avant-garde design often focuses on the essentials and strips away unnecessary details. Consider a minimalist approach to your decor, with clean lines, uncluttered spaces, and a focus on functionality.

 

Remember, the key to avant-garde design is to be creative, experimental, and willing to take risks. Have fun with the process, and be bold and break the rules! And we want to see it! Be sure to share your project with the DezignSpace fam in The Clubhouse.
