finding a particular style.

 

1: TAKE NOTE OF WHAT YOU HAVE

Have a look around your home and see what furniture, accessories and paint colours you're already using. If these things make you smile, they're your style! Don't forget that anything you already own can be relatively easily updated with paint or a hardware change.

2: CREATE A PINTEREST BOARD OF ROOMS YOU LOVE

Pinterest is a great tool to create a collection of images that help you nail down your style. Simply scroll through the Home Decor section at pinterest and Pin your favourite room photos to a board on your account. After a while, you should be able to see reoccurring elements like furniture styles, colours, paint colours and fabric styles in all of the photos. Houzz.com is another site that I enjoy.

3: STUDY BOTH WHAT YOU HAVE AND WHAT YOU WANT AND MATCH IT UP WITH A STYLE

Using the items you already have in your home and your Pinterest photo collection as a reference, make a list of all of the distinct features you see in the furniture, accessories, fabrics and paint colours. For example, you might note that you have or love things like weathered wood furniture, black metal accents, white linen furniture, vintage look accessories and antique finds. After you've made your list, match it up to 1, 2 or 3 of the 10 common decor styles I've listed below to find what home style (or styles!) you are! (If your list is something like the example I've just made, you might love Modern Farmhouse Style!)here you can create collections of interior images that inspire you.
