An interior design style is the combination of colour, materials, furniture and mood that gives a home its character. Some styles are relaxed and light-filled, others are rich, layered and timeless, and most homes end up somewhere in between. At TPS Interiors, we offer design, decoration and styling across Sydney, always shaped around the architecture, the light and the people who live there. Explore the styles below to see how each one looks in our projects, and which feels most like you.
Start with what you already love. Save images of rooms that stop you scrolling, then look for the patterns: the colours you keep coming back to, the materials you want to touch, the mood that makes you exhale. This is your style, even if it doesn’t have a name yet.
Then look at your home. A Federation terrace, a new-build apartment and a beachside family home each suit different styles of interior design, and the best results work with the architecture, not against it. Finally, think about how you live. A busy family home needs durable, forgiving finishes, while a space for entertaining can take bolder pieces.
Whether you’re building from scratch, refreshing the home you love or preparing to sell, style is at the heart of how we work. For interior design projects, we shape a style from the ground up, from layouts and finishes to joinery and lighting. For interior decoration, we bring a look to life in an existing space through furniture, art and soft furnishings. And for property styling, we choose the style most likely to appeal to buyers, so your home makes the strongest first impression at sale.
Sydney’s mix of architecture shapes every style decision we make. A Paddington terrace calls for something different from a Lower North Shore family home or a harbourside apartment, and our light, climate and indoor-outdoor way of living all play a part. Having styled more than 10,000 homes across the city, we choose pieces that feel right for the house, the suburb and the way Sydneysiders actually live.
Choosing a style is one of the biggest decisions in creating a home you love. Here are the questions we’re asked most.
Our most requested styles of interior design are contemporary, coastal, Mediterranean, light contemporary and dark contemporary. Each has its own palette, materials and mood. Explore each style above to see how we bring it to life in homes across Sydney.
If you’re unsure, start with how you want the home to feel: calm, warm, dramatic or easygoing. That feeling usually points to a style. From there, we’ll look at your references, your home’s architecture and how you live, and help you turn it all into a clear direction.
Absolutely. Many of our favourite projects combine two styles, like the warmth of a coastal home with the clean lines of a contemporary one. The key is a common thread, such as a colour palette or material, that ties everything together.
Yes. We draw on the same aesthetics whether we’re designing a forever home or styling a property for sale. For property styling, we choose the style that best suits the home and the buyers most likely to purchase it.
Yes. We bring the same considered approach to offices and commercial spaces, choosing a style that reflects your brand and works for the people using the space every day.
