Common Characteristics
Minimalistic, But
Far From Boring
Less is more. Neutral colors, mostly bare walls, and few decorations might sound boring, but this minimalism creates a blank canvas for colorful pops and bold furniture, giving this style a vibrant personality.
Distinct Design
Elements
This style often features furniture with exposed legs and no frills. Natural fibers such as linen, wool, cotton, and jute can be used to add warmth to a room. Metal, stone, glass, and plants round out this style.
Strong
Dynamic Lines
This style utilizes bold lines integrated within architectural details, windows, furniture, and artwork and rugs displaying geometric shapes. Unlike in Modern decor, however, lines can be curved and less rigid.

"LIKE JEWELRY FOR YOUR ROOM"
It's the little details. It's easy enough to swap out the cheap plastic wallplates with these thicker metal ones when repainting. Like jewelry for your room, it's a subtle upgrade that can help make your room look upscale.

"LOOKS A LOT BETTER THAN
THE PLASTIC ONES"
I recently repainted our office so I updated the outlet covers to this style. it's contemporary, timeless, and looks a lot better than the plastic ones I had before.

"WHEN FRIENDS & FAMILY COME OVER
THEY NOTICE IT IMMEDIATELY"
Purchased this for my bathroom which previously had an old, cream colored, plastic wallplate, and it's surprising how obvious it is now that it's been changed to metal. When friends and family come over they notice it immediately – I get lots of compliments on this update. It's crazy how something so small can make a big difference.

"AN ATTRACTIVE ADDITION TO
THE ROOM & I LOVE IT"
I have to say Amerelle makes a nice, and affordable, product. I wanted this wallplate which matches the hardware in my master bedroom to change out an old basic boring white one. It is not overly heavy (a plus) and it has nice clean lines. It's an attractive addition to the room and I love it.

"IF YOU WANT TO CLASS UP YOUR
HOME, LOOK NO FURTHER"
These wallplates are thick, heavy, and mount very well. I can't emphasize enough how sturdy these are. If you want to class up your home, look no further than these metal wall covers.

"I SMILE EVERY TIME I WALK PAST THEM"
I love the design. These plates are beautiful! Near a black marble fireplace and they give just the right amount of pop to the area. I smile every time I walk past them!

Modern
This turn-of-the-century design style is a simple, clutter-free aesthetic that steers clear of frills and bold color. It was born of a distinct historical movement that introduced the concept of the open floor plan.

Mid-Century Modern
A style with a retro twist. It appeals to a minimalist sensibility – with a bit of zing. Streamlined and functional in a basic neutral palette, it rebels against excessive detail while integrating pops of color.

Scandinavian
Light and open, Scandinavian interiors incorporate functionality with craftsmanship. Furniture and accessories may be minimal but feature natural materials. Black is often used as an accent against the light interiors.
