The contemporary style in a flat is, first and foremost, about compact forms and simple geometry. Modern people are tired of supersaturated decor and complex forms. Modern fashion favours moderate asceticism, cozy family home, introspection, creation of a family's inner world - reliable, calm, peaceful. The pertinence of contemporary style lies in its functionality and coetaneous unpredictability. Nowadays everyone is free to choose their own lifestyle. Each person's creativity and uniqueness determines the inventivess of their home interior.

Oriental styles are very quaint. Like every ethnic trend, they are tightly bound to national tradition. The Oriental styles' main attributes are simple lines and definite forms, though less ascetical than in minimalism. Both furniture and decor use only natural materials. The furniture itself is low and squat: instead of a bed we would often encounter a podium or a futon, instead of a wardrobe - a chest and caskets. Wide door frames, contrasting colours, screens, mats,curtains made of bamboo, jute, sisal. Dimmed, opaque lighting is usually provided by low hanging lamps and squat floor lamps. The Chinese style has more decor: various figurines, lamps, calligraphy and patterns.
