As a part-time designer, one question I am asked frequently is, “How do I find my style?” This question usually comes from frustrated homeowners who regularly consume images of well-appointed, complete spaces on social media or Pinterest but can’t figure out how to achieve that in their own homes. My hope is that these “5 Steps to Finding Your Style” will help ease that frustration.
Over time, and through a lot of observation, I’ve discovered that there are two categories of people looking to define their style:
1) Those who are content with adopting a style, such as farmhouse, and taking it all the way, from shiplap to subway tile.
2) Those who are tired of trends, lost in a sea of sameness on social media, and want to carve out a personal style in their little corner of the world.
“Style is a way to say who you are without having to speak.” Rachel Zoe
I have been in both categories believe it or not. Once upon a time, my husband and I slapped some shiplap on the wall, chose subway tile for our backsplash, installed open shelving, and built a farmhouse table. We were ALL in (before everybody else was)! After realizing we didn’t live in a farmhouse, I found myself restless and wanting to change the things I could to more accurately reflect our home’s style and our family’s point of view. It took a lot of intention and time, but I finally discovered my style and was SO happy that our house looked and felt like us. From our first house that I drenched in early 2000’s décor to the house that shaped me as a designer, my experience with finding my own style has run the gamut. So wherever you are in your style journey, rest assured, I get it.
Want proof?
Before I was here…
This is still my style, but it took a lot of change to get to this point.
I was here:
I still think this is beautiful. It just wasn’t a style that reflected us long term. In other words, it was a phase.
And before that, I was here:
This was right before we installed shiplap. We changed how it looked but also how it functioned for our family.
One frustration I’ve heard and had myself is that this process of creating one look in your home only to discover it isn’t really you, then changing it so that it IS you, is a waste of time, finances, and brain power. But I’m here today, more confident in my style than I’ve ever been, to tell you that it’s NOT a waste of anything…it’s actually a necessary part of finding your style.
I’m sorry and you’re welcome.
I’m sorry:
I’m sorry that, like me, you will probably have to go through a few iterations of a space before you find the look that most accurately reflects who you are. I’m sorry that this probably means a lot of returns and/or exchanges. As you’re standing in the return line though, take comfort in the fact that those of us who have found our style paved the way ahead of you and stood many hours in lines just like the one you’re in. I’m sorry I cannot give you a formula to instantly find your style so you can go out and purchase everything you need to make your home feel cozy, welcoming, stylish, and most importantly, like YOU.
You’re welcome:
You’re welcome for the dose of reality. Unless you start young, have a designer for a parent, or are a genius in the design department, it will take years to fully discover your style, then fine tune it, and finally be confident in it. I remember meeting two seasoned designers at my first trip to market a few years ago, and they said, “Don’t buy anything. You’re here to train your eyes.” I quickly discovered market was an exercise in discernment; learning to shuffle through the myriad of stuff you can use to design a space and extract only that which delights your soul and speaks to you or serves a purpose beautifully.
THIS is what you must learn to do; discern.
It’s what we’ve ALL had to do to get to the place where we can tell others what to put in their homes in a way that is special only to them. It’s what we’ve ALL had to do to arrive at a place of confidence in our personal styles for our own homes. Instead of market though, you have Home Goods, Target, and thrift and antique stores, among other retailers to choose from. But the concept is the same, and it’s just like anything else…it requires work.
Though there is no formula for finding your style, I have condensed my years-long style journey down to five steps you can take to put you well on your way to finding your own style. If this seems like too much, I suggest looking into hiring a designer; we’re paid to do this work for you in a short amount of time.
Step 1: Take a few design quizzes.
It may sound hokey, but they’re a start and they can actually help you begin to identify what you like and don’t like. I’ve taken several style quizzes (and took about five new ones in preparation for writing this post) and I’m sharing only my favorites with you. *Make sure you check out the giveaway related to these quizzes at the end of this post.
- This quiz from Apartment Therapy asks you one visual question and is BY FAR the easiest way to get a general overview of your style. I was surprised at how spot on it was!
- I was hesitant about this Houzz quiz’s results being accurate but lo and behold, they were!
- I liked this quiz from Lonny because it described styles differently than most quizzes, which I found to be helpful.
- This is the final quiz (from Decorist) that I found to be both helpful and accurate.
I like to say there is no label for my style (I like what I like), but if I HAD to put words to it, these would be the most accurate:
Step 2: Take a tour of your house and make a list of the things that make you happy and are representative of you.
Why do this? Because the past should be a guide to the future. If you walk through your house and say, “I’m over this,” then you already have guidance on what NOT to purchase going forward. When I wanted to change the breakfast nook in our last house, I still loved the planked wall, but was so over farmhouse and wanted a more modern take on everything else in the space. On the other hand, if you tour your home and still love your style of furniture, your pillow arrangement, or anything else, let that guide you when making future purchases and style changes. Once you’ve compiled your list of things you still love and things you’re “so over,” refer back to it every time you find yourself stuck in analysis paralysis or tempted to make an impulsive purchase. Stay true to you!
Step 3: Determine what category of homeowner you are…and OWN IT!
If you just want a finished space and farmhouse is your jam (does anyone even say that anymore?), don’t be ashamed of that! This is similar to type-casting for an actor. Some actors despise being type-cast into the same role over and over, and some are thankful for being type-cast because it’s job security and they are comfortable within that particular role. Some homeowners want their home to be completely original to them and others want their home to look like it was just featured on Fixer Upper. One is not better than the other. It’s just easier when you’ve determined which type you are so you can move forward.
Does this stir your soul and make you feel like you’re home?

Or does this evoke more of a reaction from you?

If you are the type that desires originality in your home, and you are looking to really hone in on what style reflects you, speaks to you, and would tell anybody coming into your home what your family is about, hold onto that, write yourself a note, do whatever it takes to remind yourself of that when you start to lose steam and just want to finish a space. Yours will be a longer journey, but the end result will leave you at peace with your home, and everything you place in your home will bring you joy, tell your story, and have staying power.
“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.” – William Morris
Step 4: Train your eyes.
As I mentioned before, everybody who is confident in their style has trained their eyes to discern not only what they like (I like everything from super modern pieces to chippy antique furniture), but what is truly representative of who they are. Walk the aisles at Home Goods, Target, antique stores, or whatever your favorite retailer is, and use your phone to take pictures of everything that catches your eye. Do the same with Pinterest and Instagram images. Once you have collected several photos on your phone or computer, take some time to review them, paying close attention to the things that STILL bring you joy or resonate with you after you’ve separated yourself from the retail or online environment. You can do this with furniture, fabrics, and accessories, and it will prevent you from buyer’s remorse…well, it will help cut it down. I DO believe in trying things out in your home and returning them if they aren’t right though, which brings me to the final step.
Step 5: Bite the bullet or slow your roll.
If you haven’t made any progress whatsoever because you are afraid of commitment, haven’t figured out your style yet, or are consuming too many images of different styles on Instagram, the best thing you can do is BITE THE BULLET. Make a purchase, big or small, to get the ball rolling.
Conversely, if you have a space full of things you’ve purchased on impulse or boxes arriving at your house weekly because you’ve been influenced by every different style on social media, SLOW YOUR ROLL. Take some time to go through steps 1-4 until you’ve calmed down, at least narrowed down what you don’t like, and can move forward with purchases that are intentional and represent you and the way your family lives. In either case, you WILL have to make returns, spend time tweaking, and live with decisions that may change, but taking action is the only way you will ever achieve the goal of finding your style.
“The most effective way to do it is to do it.” – Amelia Earhart
I was confident in my plans for this bathroom renovation because I have done the work to find my style.
I’m a grand scheme kind of gal who needs to know why I’m doing something in order for it feel justified, especially with something as seemingly insignificant as a personal home style. After nearly 14 years of being a stay-at-home mom and 17 years as a homemaker, I can confidently tell you this is NOT insignificant. Nor is it trivial, shallow, or materialistic…all things I have associated with interior design in my past.
Home is important. Home should be valued and prioritized…with a heavy dose of perspective of course. Home is where we shelter our families, welcome guests and loved ones, and reflect the beauty of the One who created us. The only reason we should ever feel guilty about paying attention to our homes is if we’re putting our families into debt, not fulfilling our responsibilities because we’re obsessing over the look of our homes, or if our motives are wrong and we’re simply trying to keep up with the Jones’s.
Above all else, the goal of finding your style should be to create peace, beauty, function, and safety within your home.
I hope this 5-step guide to finding your style helps you achieve that goal. Do the work, give it some time, and you WILL find the style that represents you best. Perhaps my giveaway (below) will help kick start your style journey or add the finishing layer to your space.
I got neo- traditionalist, French country, contemporary cottage, transitional ????♀️
Awesome Alison! Thanks for entering!!!
I loved this article and the fun quizzes! I literally got a completely different answer with every single quiz! Does that mean eclectic? Indecisive?
No, it just means you are well rounded…haha! I think it’s important to retake the quizzes to see what stands out the most or what you lean toward the most. I had to be careful not to answer with things I simply like, because I like everything, but to answer with things that resonate with my soul and creativity. Thanks for participating!
They pegged me at new traditional ???????? Now to just slowly change (and afford) to bring those things to life. Great post and wonderful giveaway! (I follow on IG at fullnestdesign)
Awesome Sarah! Yes, take it slow and don’t go into debt, but work toward your house reflecting the true you. Good luck!
I love your new pillows, especially those florals! Your house is so beautiful! I took the quizzes (because best3 out of four?) and got neo-traditional, which I think is very true for my core design personality, but I also love a super natural vibe + simplicity, so ????????♀️????????♀️????????♀️.
Yeah, I’m drawn to two very distinct styles over all the others, even though I love the others. So, my quizzes sort of reflected those two different styles, but then I got coastal in there somewhere and was kind of thrown off. I must have chosen something that wasn’t truly me.
I obviously have problems because I got: contemporary cottage, transitional, modern minimalist, and eclectic. I have been reflecting on home a lot lately and considering my own personality. I think it’s really good that I rent because I would have the hardest time making decisions if we owned a home since what I like is all over the place!
Girl, that is EXACTLY why I was over the moon when we moved (among other reasons)! When we rented, it was easy to not get too caught up in major projects or anything that might not truly reflect our style down the road, but when you purchase and want to knock out walls, the pressure is on to really know what you like! That’s why it’s my goal to help people understand how to figure themselves out stylistically so they don’t have major regrets, spend WAY too much money when it’s not needed, or live with an outdated house forever just because they can’t make a decision. Glad to see you here Amanda 😉
Great blog post! I liked Lonny’s quiz most. I got modern minimalist which is right for me. 🙂
Thank you Kristy! I loved how accurate the quizzes were for me too!
Took all 4 as well and i’m Some form of traditional. Thx for sharing. Love your posts and feed.
Thank you so much Karen! Good luck!
I took all four quizzes just for fun. Two of them said I was traditional, the third one said neo traditional and the last one labeled my style as eclectic collector. I think that one is the most accurate. I do love to collect and try to have everything in my home tell the story of my family.
I think this is a duplicate but thank you for being here Brenda!
I took all four quizzes just for fun. Two said traditional, one said neo-traditional and one said eclectic collector which I think is the closest to my style. I do love to collect and hope everything in my home tells the story of my family.
Sounds like I would love your style Brenda because I believe our homes should tell our stories. The quizzes were fun huh!
I really liked that Apartment Tgerapy quiz! It was very accurate. I am a mix of F and H!
I loved that one too because of how accurate and short it was! Thanks for entering!
I got Transitional on the Houzz quiz. Interesting questions, but accurate results. Thanks for sharing! I loved to see how your style has evolved!
Isn’t it crazy to see someone’s style journey? I so wish I could have found photos of what our first house looked like. If I ever find them, I’m sharing them because that house was all kinds of early 2000’s goodness!
I love these. I’m coastal style. I live in Seattle.
Love coastal! I’ve never been to Seattle!
Did all four quizzes & was some version of traditional on all of them.
Your blog post really resonated with me. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve bought items I loved in the store only to get them home & find they don’t fit my space. I’ve got a storage room full of stuff I don’t know where to put.
Love your style & have subscribed to your blog. ????
Girl, if you could only see my garage! It’s full of things that reflect all the phases I’ve gone through and all the things I’ve loved but gotten home and then realized I didn’t actually love IN my home. It’s a crazy cycle but fortunately I’ve learned from it and I feel like I can teach my girls how NOT to do this to the extent I have. I do believe you have to work out your style, just like most things, but accumulating so much stuff that isn’t really you can, to some extent, be avoided.
I got simple chic! Sounds pretty accurate
Awesome! Thanks for participating!
One of my results said Transitional & the other said Neo-Traditionalist. Thanks for hosting such a great giveaway!

Good luck on the contest and thanks for participating!
This was such a good post- So often, I read these types of posts and they just seem like a regurgitation of the same 3 points, but this was none of that: instead it was refreshing and motivational. I pin, ponder, and (probably) sit too long on what items to bring into our home trying to make sure I get *just* the right thing that I am going to love for a long time, and I love your honesty that it is ok to buy, try and return, and to JUST Bite the bullet and start getting Items. I would also like to say: I took two of the design quizzes. And on the first Quiz from Apartment therapy, I had 3 different answers: 2 that I was drawn to visually from the cues, and 1 that defines my house right now (and truly, while I didn’t resonate with the picture cues, I did resonate with the description.) But then I took the Houzz one, and I think I messed it up. It asked me too many questions about wine, and I ended up with “contemporary” which I absolutely am not:) I think this is the kind of post I am going to end up reading and coming back to in order to digest for the next little while! thank you for producing such valuable content!!
I’m so glad you found this post helpful! I think we often imagine how others are doing things in their home…either totally decisive or confident or what have you…when really, so many of us are going through the same struggles but have learned how to hone in and make use of that process. Thank you for being here!
I got modern and warm industrial. I bet you’re wondering why I’m here! Haha! I love all styles as long as it feels warm and genuine but definitely like things simple and clean. Thanks for the quizzes, they were fun!
Wait, trying to figure out why I would be wondering why you’re here. I feel like I’m missing something…haha!
The quizzes were so fun and helpful. I’m a Neo Traditionalist. I also subscribed to the blog. Thanks for the inspiration! I appreciate so much that you live on a real life budget, but are making your home beautiful in incremental steps. That’s what I try to do! It’s slow, but worth it!
The high-end interior designer living inside of me wants to have the budget to decorate with nothing but the best, but I don’t and that’s not reality for more than a very small percentage of the world (like 1%) so I’m glad to bring inspiration for achieving a high-end look on a real-life budget and timeline.
My design style is new traditional. That pretty well sums up my personality too! I’ve been following you on Instagram for awhile and I follow your blog. You’re my favorite! I’ve also started following @linenandcloth on Instagram. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ve already seen some lovely things. This is the first time I’ve entered a give away. I hope I did it correctly!
I’ll double check that you entered correctly but I’m sure you did. New Traditional sums me up pretty well too! Thank you for being here and for entering the contest!
I took all 5 quizzes. So fun! I got Traditional, and Transitional. I love following you on Instagram and just discovered your blog. I find your post very educational and inspiring 🙂
Awesome…of course I love those styles! Thank you for being here and for those sweet words!
New traditional! I’ve known this for quite awhile now but am only recently seeing it really “click” in our new home. I’ve read SO many posts about this very topic, but must say that yours today is the best I’ve seen. Your laconic yet thorough approach is refreshing! I’m passing this along to my two daughters — twenty-somethings who are at the beginning of this wonderful process. Thank you for all your insight.
Wow Debbie, thank you for that very kind compliment. I try to write what I would want to read and what would actually help me make progress or change in my home, so I’m SO happy you found it to be helpful!
I got organic modern/modern minimalist! Pretty accurate!
Awesome! Love that description!
I got coastal On Houzz, which I would agree with in their description. Love your content.
Thank you so much! I got coastal too on some of the quizzes, which is funny because I’m not coastal at all, but I guess I picked enough options to be categorized as coastal. I love coastal though!
Traditional / simply chic seems to be the consensus – though I feel that I’m like you… I can help put together spaces for other people all day, but have a hard time putting my style in a box that’s easy to translate into my home. I always tell people I’m ‘collected’ traditional, meaning I like pieces (pottery/textiles) with a story and are hard to rush into a space. All about the hunt 😉
It’s like a weird phenomenon that we can easily put together what we envision for others but try to do it our own homes and we’re our worst clients! I agree though, it’s all about the hunt and it’s hard to rush a collected space.
Wow. This spoke to me on so many levels! The part about standing in lines to return things and flash backs to old pictures reminds me of when I had no clue what my style was when I was furnishing my first condo at 22 years old. I remember having the hardest time picking out a living room rug. And I ended up buying this AWFUL red, orange, swirly / modern rug (who knows what the heck it was properly called). I remember getting it in the room, rolling it out, and immediately thinking “What the heck did I do?! How do I return this giant thing?” But I did. And from that point on I started scouring Pinterest boards, blogs, magazines, etc. to find my style. I’m 30 now and live in a new construction home, and I’m doing my best to add character to it so that it’s not so “cookie cutter.” One thing I’m looking forward to doing this year is creating the giant artwork / frame tutorial you shared on Instagram once we return from our trip to Canada in the Fall. 🙂
I took the Decorist quiz and got Transitional!
I’m subscribed and follow your blog on Bloglovin’. Instagram is @galpalmal if needed to check for entry!
What a funny story! I’ve done similar things in the past and it’s usually a result of overthinking…I’m an expert in overthinking. I’m working on the blog and video version of the framing tutorial today actually so I can’t wait to share a more in-depth look at it. Thanks for being here and I can’t wait to see what you frame!!
Love your post! I will say, once I was first married (1.5 yrs ago) I fell into the trend trap and I found myself unhappy with my decor choices. Slowly but surely, I am finding what speaks to me, rather than choosing what everyone else chooses. However, I must still be far from finding my style, because every style quiz gave me a different answer. Haha! I do think new traditional or transitional is my style.
I’ve followed you on Instagram for a while, but I just subscribed to your blog, hoping for even more inspiration!! Can’t wait!!
Thank you for subscribing! I hope to bring a lot more inspiration your way! And I get it as far as getting all different results on your quizzes…lol. I got several different results and just stuck with the one that I felt was most accurate.
Transitional:)
Love transitional!
The Decorist quiz told me Modern…I think that’s true up to a point, but I like things warmer and more eclectic than just modern.
Modern has such a HUGE range now that you almost have to identify as either ultra modern, new modern (kind of redundant), or minimal modern, etc. I love some modern things but I like to mix them in with traditional pieces.
From the Apartment Therapy quiz I got Warm Industrial. I sort of wanted to pick the more eclectic choice too, but it was a little too glam for me.
I hear ya! There were so many that I was drawn to but didn’t pick them because they were a little too something or other. I love warm industrial!
I got simple chic, coastal, and rustic romantic (didn’t take #4 because I didn’t want to leave my email address, haha). Of the choices offered, I think they were each right on! They seem different, but I can see how my style is the way that they intersect and the themes they have in common. I especially liked quizzes 1 and 2!
I love that you can see how they intersect…that’s important. Sometimes our style can’t be nailed down to one label, but at least we can be confident if we know what will bring us joy and have staying power for years to come.
The Houzz one was spot on for me which was a surprise. I recently identified myself as a Traditionalist and Minimalist and what Houzz gave me was a Transitionalist (not too modern, not too traditional). Yep. I am on instagram @jolivivant if you want to see what that translates to. I started following you because I felt like we had similar vibes. I love your work. I will subscribe to your blog as well for an extra entry.
Yes! I love being right in the middle where it’s JUUUUUUST right. Glad to have you here!
Thank you for this post! I have felt like I’ve spent too much time, money & energy on my home over the past 4 years but it’s finally feeling like I’m headed in the right direction. To hear (or read) that I’m not alone in this and more importantly, it’s work worth doing is encouraging, validating, inspiring…I could keep going. I took all four quizzes and a blend of modern chic appeared. The most accurate result, to me, came from Apartment therapy where my result was Simple Chic. Thanks again for educating, encouraging, and equipping us here.
I’m so glad you now know even designers are not immune to this process. I was just watching Chip and Joanna go back to their very first home in Waco and her style was NOT what it is today. Her style wasn’t even what it is today when the show started…she has evolved and refined so much! It’s the nature of the design world not to show you that though, so it’s my goal to be transparent in an effort to help people realize we’re all in this together and we all have to do the work.
I’m happy that you posted this! I’m having a little trouble decorating my new home. I took the quiz from Lonny.com and was surprised to learn that there is an actual name for the style of things I like. It says I’m an Understated Sophisticate!
Thank you for all the wonder tips. I will use them all in helping me find my style.
I’m so glad you find my content helpful…makes me SO happy! And yes, I loved that Lonny quiz because it described styles so differently than all of the other quizzes and all of the normal labels for styles. I love the title Understated Sophisticate!
Simple Chic! It was the one question quiz and spot on! Thanks for this helpful advice!
Wasn’t that crazy that the one-question quiz could be so accurate so quickly? That was my favorite quiz out of all of them and I just couldn’t believe how accurate it was!
I got new traditional or transitional!
Ah, so we’re the same then, right down the baby grand! 😉
Hi Marynn! I agree it takes time to find “your” style and I sometimes think why do I spend so much time. I’m finally at a place where I’m not making too many changes or returns and it’s great especially for my wallet. Still have things I want to swap but getting close to more permanence in my home. Oh I took the Houzz quiz and I’m simple chic. Just subscribed too! Thanks for this blog and giveaway. Love your work!
Thank you for your kind words Mary! I love that you are so close to permanence with your decor…it’s such a great place to be and I’m still working on getting there because even when you’ve nailed down your style, it takes awhile to collect everything to fill a home with warmth, character, and function.
New Traditional 🙂
It does take years to train your “design eye”
We have the same style! And yes, it does take years! I think so many people need to be reminded of that!
I got Contemporary Cottage!! Classic and warm for hosting family and friends! Very spot on for me :).
That sounds like a wonderful style description! I love it!
I’m surprised 😉
Transitional: You’re not too modern but not too traditional, either. You’re a gracious host, and you love to break out the fine china even when you’re just eating pizza. You prefer a home full of beige and other neutrals. You like simply framed artwork that doesn’t cause too much of a fuss. Serenity is your goal at home. You are transitional.
Transitional is a GREAT style! There is so much room for interpretation! I may be New Traditional but that description of Transitional is 100% me!
I got rustic romantic from Lonny and contemporary from Houzz
So I’m kind of baffled
But that does sound like me – I live wood, earthy natural tones, lots of white
And tulips!
And would love to win those pillows! ????
I thought the description of Rustic Romantic was really interesting…that’s what I got from the Lonny quiz too. I think it can be hard when you love a lot of styles because you click on photos or choices that you are drawn to but maybe you wouldn’t use in your current home. I try to think of my dream home if I could build it from the ground up…what elements would I use if money wasn’t an issue?
Contemporary Cottage on the first test and traditional on the Houzz ????♀️ And I’m already subscribed ❤️
Hey Diane! I got varying results on some of the quizzes as well. Thanks for being subscribed!
Boy I really needed this post today! We are in the middle of remodeling a bathroom and have loved following what you did in your girls bathroom. In fact I ordered the same wallpaper after seeing you use it. According to all of the quizzes I’m traditional but I do love some modern elements too.
Thanks Jenn
Oh my gosh, I’m so excited you’re going to use the same wallpaper that’s in my girls’ bathroom! Every time I walk by their bathroom I fall a little more in love with it! I’m the same way though…I am traditional but not traditional traditional…I have modern leanings.
The Houzz quiz was surprising to say the least & accurate, transitional.
Yes, I was surprised by some of the quizzes too! I loved the variation of all of them. Thanks for stopping by Regina!
I like the Apartment Therapy quiz, you are right, they have me pretty well pegged, a mix of B and E ,
I love neutrals but texture is really important to me too and a place for everything and everything in its place. Only thing better would be the ocean outside my window! Thanks Marynn, your advice and suggestions are always ???? you’re one of my favs for sure! ❤️
Oh my goodness Lori, thank you for the sweet compliment! Wasn’t that one-question quiz crazy? I couldn’t believe one question could be so accurate! An ocean outside your window WOULD be amazing!
I took all the quizzes because I have been really curious about my style! THis blog post was so great. Most of the quizzes told me I was modern traditional and one told me I was eclectic. ????????♀️????????♀️????????♀️ Apparently I like all the things ????
Oh girl, we are the same! I love ALLLLL the styles and could easily live in a home of every different one! I kind of like to let my house guide me because if I have the constraint of staying true to the style of the house (somewhat), then it’s easier to rein in all my love for all the things!
Neo – Traditionalist
These quizzes were fun tot take and spot on! This was a great blog post – thanks!
I’m SO glad you liked the post Elizabeth! I loved taking the quizzes too and it was fun to see the varying results and which quiz got me right!
I did AT’s quiz and would say I lean more New Traditional, although the specific items pictured aren’t my choice in color.
There were several pictures that I felt didn’t accurately represent the style it was attached to but in the end, I was surprised at how well it nailed my style.
I hope this is the right place to comment. I got new traditional, transitional and coastal and it’s spot on! At almost 57, in my 4th house, I finally feel like I know my style.
Awesome Susan! Hey, better late than never I say! I keep wondering if my style will be different when we retire and move into our retirement house in a different state. It’s interesting and fun to think about!
I got new traditional & transitional!
Awesome! Sounds like we have the same style!
