How to Find Your Decorating Style.

Find Your Interior Decorating Style with this Decorating Style Quiz !

When you embark on a design project that requires rethinking your space, the design options can feel overwhelming.  You want the design to feel like it’s truly your own, so read more about the Decorating Style Quiz.

You may scroll through Instagram or on-line for inspiration and conclude that any of the images you see would be a huge improvement on the space you already have. But the best interior designs are not as simple as choosing and copying a look you admire.

Design Professionals assist you with the entirety of your design project.  And identifying your style and how you will feel in the newly designed space is part of the process –  FEELING like — how casual or formal you want it to be and what emotions you want to feel when you walk in.

So, how do you define your personal decorating style? here is the Decorating Style Quiz!

Here are a few places to start:

What’s in Your Closet?

The way you like to dress often says a lot about what kind of space you’ll love. If you’ve already done some work on cultivating your personal style, you might notice distinctive trends when it comes to the colors, textures, and patterns in your closet.

Think about your goals when it comes to the way you dress. Some people dress primarily for comfort or for utility, while others’ main goal is to make a bold statement. Some want to come across as approachable, others want to impress and even intimidate. Some people might dress to accommodate an outdoorsy lifestyle, active hobbies, or hands-on work that requires a full range of motion.

Your interior design style should reflect your lifestyle, hobbies, favorite colors, and even your values, just like your wardrobe does.

Look at Your Social Media  – What comes up?

Social media accounts, particularly visual ones like Instagram can be a really convenient way to sum up your style and taste.

If your feed features a lot of pictures of flowers and trees, that might mean you would appreciate more organic elements in your spaces. Images of cityscapes and geometric patterns might indicate that you’d like a more industrial or modern décor. Glamorous outfits and nightlife might indicate that you might love a room with a Hollywood Regency vibe.

Look at Your Favorite Brands

Which retailer do you love to shop? Which catalogues do you enjoy the most? For both your home and clothing needs.

Obviously, if you have a favorite self-indulgence store, that will be the most telling for your interior design goals. However, brands of clothes, jewelry, or other unrelated products can also be super helpful for defining your personal style.

Make a list of brands you love and ask yourself what you like about the way each one presents itself.

You are the only one who can truly decide which style will be the best fit for your home, and we can expertly guide you through the process of identifying your personal style.
