Check out home decor blogs, social media platforms, and even take a stroll around your neighborhood for ideas. Ask yourself what colors, patterns, and textures catch your eye. Are you drawn to bold, bright colors or muted tones? Do you love the sleek and modern look of that house down the street from you, or do you prefer something more bohemian and eclectic?
Once you have a general idea, start to define the key elements of your style. Do you get excited by patina? Do you love furniture that looks like it has lived many lives? If the answer to either of those questions is yes, then you are probably all about vintage finds. If you’re more of the “out with the old, in with the new” mentality, there’s no shame here. In that case, you might prefer sleek and contemporary furniture.
Don't be afraid to mix and match elements to create a style that's unique. And remember, your style can always evolve over time! Labels or not! You make the rules! By staying curious, open-minded, and true to your own taste, you'll be able to create a home that's stylish, functional, and feels like YOU.
If you’d like to take defining your design style to the next level, why not create a mood board that speaks to all the things you are drawn to? Seeing a visual example of all the things that scream you will paint the perfect picture of your design style. (Plus, you'll get a golden star in our book.)
