STYLE GUIDE
At Whitco we have furniture and home furnishings to suit your taste, your budget… and your style. You spend the most important moments of your life at your home. You gather together with family during the holidays, spend precious time with friends, celebrate birthdays & anniversaries, and simply relax.
Your home portrays who you are. Your style and how you furnish your home represents what matters most to you. The following are descriptions of general style classifications in case you're not sure where your tastes fall or to guide you in solidifying a specific style when redecorating.
Modern – You have an eye for sharp, linear design & the great masters of 20th Century design. Or your modern may take a lighter, Retro feel – think 60’s sitcoms, classic 50’s or black & white Hollywood. You love the ground breaking look of the Art Deco era…or call yourself eclectic if you mix trends & styles to create you own modern statement. Fabrics are simple, frequently richly woven, with leather being a perfect material for these great designs.
Traditional – You love heirlooms, rich fabrics & dark woods like cherry & mahogany. Your taste leans to furniture classics that evoke the past and stand the test of time. Design influences include the 18th & 19th century English & American styles, like Queen Anne, Chippendale. European & Victorian favorites like Louis XIV – XVI & French Provincial. Oriental rugs, Asian art, formal fabrics like velvet and damask, and Transitional furniture that blends influences from different eras are all part of this style
Casual Contemporary – Your taste is good looking, relaxed & casual. You lean toward light, glowing woods like maple or birch or dark dramatic stains like espresso. The strong, simple lines of Mission may appeal to you. Accent cross cultures with simple primitive design or the serene curves or oriental pottery. Furniture may be leather, slip-covered or upholstered in soft inviting fabrics…but they’re always stylish and welcoming
Country – Your sentimental attachment to a simpler past leads you to classic country designs, both American & European. You may prefer the primitive Rustic construction or the redefined country embraced as charming, elegant and mostly comfortable. Sure to remind you of your favorite cottage you spend your vacations in, Country style furniture creates a warm and inviting space for you, your family and your friends. Living rooms feature classic color palettes such as deep reds, greens, blues and yellows in delightful patterns. Rolled arms, skirted frames and warm wood tones create a genuinely comfortable look in any room.
Leather Furniture - There is nothing like the look and feel of leather. Classic, comfortable, soft to the touch. Leather furniture represents a level of sophistication in your home. With the ability to adapt to any style, furnishing your home in leather provides a smooth color scheme, and dramatic visual texture. From Contemporary to Traditional, Leather furnishings create a calming, warm and inviting space for all you bring into your home.
Rustic Furniture - You need not reside in an actual log cabin to enjoy the authentic styling of Rustic furniture design. A rustic collection will feature a heavy emphasis on wood grains and natural markings – all of which add unique character to your pieces. Generously sized frames coupled with a distinctive old west /log cabin feel create a home as warm, inviting and rustic as the furniture you put into it. Whether it is a Mexican style bar in your Northwestern home, or a beautiful pine wood dining table for your metr
o area apartment, Rustic style furnishings bring all the charm of the great outdoors, right into your home.
Wicker Furniture - Bringing natural elements such as Wicker, rattan and bamboo into your home creates a serene and comfortable retreat your whole family can enjoy. The perfect addition for your sunroom or patio – wicker furniture has become a favorite in the home as well as out on the deck. The texture of the materials used in living room frames, bedroom and dining room construction brings to your home a sense of visual drama and a calming tropical sense of style your family, friends and most of all you will enjoy it for years.
