The first question to ask yourself is : “Do I prefer simplicity?”

Contemporary Style – This style follows the “less is more” concept. They feel clean and you won’t find a lot of accessories or knickknacks lying around.

Modern Style – Similar to contemporary style, modern style is about minimalism and space.

Eclectic – This style is about being unique and it follows the “more is more” concept. In homes with this style you will find items that show your character such as items from places you traveled.

Traditional Style – This style also follows the “more is more” concept and is about being cozy. These rooms will have accessories and pieces of history.

French Country – Another “more is more” style. This style features a lot of gold and embroidery and will also include plenty of accessories.

Rustic Style – This style is built around the concept of woodsy living.

Costal Style – This style is built around the beach atmosphere.

The second question is: “Do I prefer city vibes or country vibes?”

Modern and contemporary will offer you that city feeling while rustic coastal and French country styles cater more to country style.

Once you figure out these questions the rest will fall into place. Another easy way to narrow done your style is by looking at pictures for inspiration. If you scroll through Pinterest, you will see every type of style home. You will quickly begin to realize a pattern between what styles you like.
