Frank Lloyd Wright is timeless. Love Falling Water.

Mid century modern for sure ... all the windows, bringing the outside in .. beams, stone . love it!

Shabby chic country eclectic. That covers a lot of territory. But flowers, white, white, white, pink, blue, green. Overstuffed English cottage by the lake. Lace and chandeliers. Cozy and comfy. Sweet Marie

The color orange and shag rugs were the 70's.

HI -- I think the mid century modern,- because it is still going ,- but the classy things - not the gaudy stuff . Hollywood Regency and some Deco is still going strong and it's classy . I hope to never see most of the 70's and 80's trends (fads ) - not a good design time . I hope the Faux painting and the Shabby and the Country and Southwest and Tuscany styles will be gone for good soon too.

I love most decades. But like a good base for a recipe, they need to be reimagined with new more ecological materials.

MCM still looks great. No other "trend" has held up.

Art Noveau or Art Deco... sort of between those two. You need the right kind of house though, but Craftsman with a touch of Deco, that's nice.

Art Nouveau period, organic, luscious, colourful. We used to live in the same street as the first building in the pictures below (in Brussels). Forgot to add I also like very much Art Déco and the Hollywood Regency periods as mentioned by others above.

Gaudi.

Definitely Art Deco , Art nouveau. I am still rather upset with my sisters because they sold our parents bedroom and livingroom in Art Deco without consulting me. I was living abroad at that time. No reason for a family feud, but a big regret.

Definitely NOT MCM. I'm with Jessica, Shaker style. Clean, pure and expert craftsmanship.

MCM, for sure.

MCM for me but without shag carpet. It's impossible to keep clean and looking nice. We used to joke about shag carpet that was so long your could mow it.

Spanish Colonial Revival-but I live in Santa Barbara, where it never left.

I'm sort of an Art Deco fan myself. Just take a look at the Chrysler Building or some of the MGM films from the 30's. Very short period of design but very compelling. Miami is full of the Flamingo version but the Brit's take on this style is very clean, modern and reminiscent of trans-Atlantic ocean liners.

Going through a brutalist phase, at present, and think it may be because when it was done well, it created massive sculptures in the landscape, with no need for additional embelishment. Utilitarian art on a grand scale.

Early American. Large brick fireplace in kitchen. Lots of walnut or dark oak. Center island with forged hangers for pots/pans, other utensils... Sorry, don't have any pics.

Anything from the 1910s through the late 60s...love it all, in the right setting. But for me, the Art Deco period will always be one of the most creative, exciting and glamorous eras, stylistically. They took such effort in making even the humblest objects attractive - including a heating vent or a doorbell.

I like to see homes with each room a different era...even if this seems odd...I like it...different colors too...basic colors...blues...green...and yellows...

For me it would also have to be Art Deco...so elegant, yet looks easy to live in/with.

I'm with Jessica. Love the simplicity and function of the Shakers.

Craftsman and Shaker

I like MCM, but I never have as much opportunity work with clients that have this period of home that I would like. Koenig, Neutra and Wurster are some of my favorites.

Would hate to be stuck in one period. That would bore me.

I like and appreciate good classic designs from all eras... well, maybe not the Stone Age. They can keep their rock caves and lack of plumbing. But I do think the cave paintings are cool!

What makes it fun and frustrating in our time is knowing when to "stay within" the style of an era (buying pieces, using colors "appropriate" for a house's style) OR when and how to mix elements from different eras, thus breaking the boundaries of staying true to one particular design era.

I guess that is why we have Houzz. :)

Arts and Crafts. Craftsman style homes. William Morris textiles and wallpaper.

I like post & beam constructed houses. I don't know if they were popular in a particular era, but i know they will always be popular in all my era's

i like country French/Italian, but not fussy. I feel it's a classic look, but comfortable.

i really don't like MCM, i find it cold, unwelcoming, and uncomfortable. but in the end it doesn't matter to me what the "style" is, we put into our home what makes US happy, not some designer or some trend. I'm sure lovers of MCM feel exactly the same way about their style! and that's as it should be! ;-)

Love Art Nouveau, craftsman style, traditional and Tuscan. www.luminosodesign.com

Anything that's before the 70's. I love things that are simple and were made to last forever. No pressed wood or plastic furniture that falls apart or breaks. I hate how so many things now are made to fall apart in 10 years or less so you will have to go buy more. Companies know how to make things to last, but don't because that doesn't make them profit.

Give me Shaker, Art Deco, Early American, or anything that was made to last the test of time.

Art Deco...it is modern in the sense that it was really brand new when it came on the scene, and after so many years, the best of Art Deco is classic and still modern.

I have to admit, I love Eastlake Design, which has almost a folk art quality to it, as well as Art Nouveau when not done to excess, and some Art Deco. But I don't think I'd bring any of them back as a period design for today. I like being able to bring ALL of them back, in new ways, for different clients, depending upon what they love.

Art Deco ! Love that style

The sixties!

those chairs!

Not this one!

Art Deco

@studio10001 Thanks for the edjumacation, I'd never heard the term Brutalist Architecture, had to look it up. As you say, and as the UCSD library absolutely proves, it's stunning - when done right! I did my grad studies there though and was not surprised that many students living in the dorms commit suicide! Absolutely every other concrete building on the campus, ie virtually all of them, were horrendous - cold, forbidding, overbearing - in a word, brutal. I did just now read that "brut" actually comes from the French Beton Brut, or simply raw concrete, but the mistranslation "brutal" is unfortunately apropos!

But yeah - that library!!! And it was so brilliantly sited -, you see it way up at the top of a chasm, when driving south on Interstate 5.

Art Nouveau

My choice/choices would be Art Deco/Mid Century Modern. I love the glam and class!

Mod.

Mid century

All of them eclectic and now

Love MCM but the Deco style of the 30s and 40s is my favorite. You have to have a large space to really do it justice but the furniture was art all by itself.

I know this is an old post but wanted to comment anyway. I'd bring back either Art Nouveau or Art Deco. Although they are dissimilar styles they are both visually awesome.

I like a "Grand" look, like Georgian. Or any of the homes in Victoria magazine.

Idk but not this one! :~)

The age of the goddess - most of it was doggedly destroyed to get rid of evidence of it - bet it was gorgeous! Bring back the nature and family revering goddess too while you're at it! Lilith - the goddess of sensual pleasure (not sex - a crass western concept). I'm thinking I would not have been dragged to those ceremonies. "Hurry up mom and dad or we'll be late!"
