Design styles are presets. Each one names the materials it will use and the furniture it will not accept. Modern keeps plaster, oak, stone, and blackened metal, and it leaves ornament out. Japandi is lighter and quieter. Industrial keeps brick, steel, and the structure you can already see. The directory is here so you can read that list before you spend a generation on the wrong preset.

Presets
A style is a material list with a refusal
A style page does not invent a room. It applies the preset to the photograph you bring, or it explains the preset clearly enough that you can carry the same words into a room tool. If you need a kitchen with a locked sink wall, open the kitchen and choose the style there. If you need to understand why quiet luxury is not the same sentence as luxurious, read those two pages. One refuses shine. The other allows marble and velvet.
This is not an encyclopedia of design history, and it is not a city guide. The paragraphs on each style page say what the look protects in a real room: the floor that stays open, the ceiling line that stays readable, the piece that would break the preset. Use the directory to pick the name. Use the style page to see the refusal.
Read the page from four sides
Materials
Three or four surfaces, named. If the preset cannot say what the floor is, it is not ready to generate.
Refusal
Every serious preset excludes something: carved crests, logo hardware, a second wood, a glossy stone. The exclusion is the style.
The room
The photograph still owns the architecture. A Scandinavian preset does not move the window to make a prettier gable.
The neighbor
Close styles are the dangerous ones. Contemporary is not modern. Classic is not traditional. Read both before you pick.
Where this page stops
The links below are the neighboring jobs. Each one keeps a promise this page does not make.
Modern is the open room in plaster and oak. Ornament and tall fussy furniture stay out.
Japandi pairs Japanese restraint with a warm, plain timber. It is not a second copy of minimalism.
Room design is where the preset meets one photograph and a room you name. The style directory does not run that pass.
