Popular Interior Design Styles in New Orleans

1. French Country
New Orleans was French before it was American, and that heritage permeates its design. The French Quarter and Garden District showcase elegant French-inspired interiors — toile fabrics, carved wood furniture, crystal chandeliers, and soft, romantic color palettes that recall the city's Creole heritage.

2. Eclectic
NOLA's anything-goes spirit makes eclectic design a natural fit. Marigny, Bywater, and the Warehouse District embrace the mix — antique armoires next to modern art, vintage chandeliers over industrial tables, and colors and patterns that would clash anywhere else but sing in New Orleans.

3. Bohemian
The Bywater and St. Claude neighborhoods are New Orleans' bohemian heart. Draped fabrics, collected treasures from second-line parades and estate sales, richly layered textiles, and a more-is-more philosophy mirror the city's creative, free-spirited culture.

The Garden District and Uptown maintain a proud tradition of formal Southern design. Double parlors with 14-foot ceilings, antique furniture handed down through generations, pocket doors, and elegant drapery reflect old New Orleans at its grandest.
