Basic Styles in Interior Decorating by Jonni Sissons
I have spent much of my life accumulating beautiful treasures from around the world to adorn my home. One of my favorite pastimes is interior decorating, which is about more than just the color of the walls and the knickknacks in a hutch or on a coffee table. A home’s décor creates the overall atmosphere and ambiance of the residence. For those with limited experience, choosing a specific style can help establish a theme and guide the manifold decisions that need to be made when decorating or remodeling. Here are of few of the most common decorating styles:
Traditional: This style of decorating utilizes old-style furnishings and subtle fabrics to create a calm, muted feel. Traditional rooms evoke an earlier era and have a classic mood while remaining somewhat casual.
Modern/Contemporary: Sleek lines, stainless steel, and neutral colors are emblematic of modern design. When creating a modernized room, everything should appear clean, smooth, and practical. Minimalism is bedrock in contemporary design, with few embellishments and frills.
Formal: Homes with a formal style run the risk of feeling more like a hotel or museum than an abode. Antique furniture, darkly stained wood, and ornate throw rugs are all commonplace with formal décor. As opposed to modern decorating, the formal style focuses on the details and symmetry of each space.
Shabby Chic: A fusion of elegant and old, the shabby chic style has gained traction among mainstream designers in recent years. Drawing on the principles of both traditional and formal design, shabby chic juxtaposes old, worn antiques, which are commonly painted white, with newer fabrics featuring bold colors and intricate patterns to generate a distinctive atmosphere.

About
Born and raised in Canada, Jonni Sissons gained an appreciation for winter sports early on. An avid alpine skier, Jonni Sissons enjoys hitting the slopes after a dense snowfall and takes the opportunity to slice through tall, back-country powder whenever possible. To that end, Jonni Sissons has developed a particular fondness for heliskiing, which takes her and her family to the furthest reaches of British Columbia’s majestic wilderness. Introduced as a means to facilitate recreational alpine skiing in the mid-1960s, decades after the popularization of the helicopter as a mode of transportation, heliskiing enjoyed its first substantial exposure thanks to the initiatives of British Columbia mountaineer and guide Hans Gmoser. Using a helicopter to take skiers from a logging camp to the top of otherwise-inaccessible Bugaboo Mountain, Gmoser pioneered the practice of heliskiing and subsequently formed Canadian Mountain Holidays, a company solely dedicated to the sport. From there, the novel concept grew in popularity, with numerous entrepreneurs and adventurers in the American Rocky Mountains launching heliskiing operations over the next 10 years. Now boasting operators in virtually all mountainous regions, including New Zealand, Patagonia, the Alps, the Himalayas, Greenland, the Ural Mountains, and elsewhere, heliskiing affords opportunities to tackle some of the most pristine and unspoiled areas of the world, ranging in conditions from light powder to hard crust. Jonni Sissons and her family have long enjoyed the numerous heliskiing offerings of British Columbia and visit the region whenever possible.
