Silly
question - but do you really know what your style is when it comes to home
interiors? We are inundated with images
and advice on how to ‘dress’ and decorate our home – but sometimes this advice
can be overwhelming.
If
you are planning on updating a room for the new season – before you start, ask
a few questions about what your style actually is. It’s all very well trying to replicate that
image in a glossy magazine – but will it suit you?
Firstly, who lives in your home? If you are a family with a dog – be honest,
those clean, sleek minimal lines in shades of white are really not going to
work for you. However, comfortable furnishings and warm colors probably would.
If you are single person with
the occasional visitor, you probably won’t need lots of storage and can afford
to have some expensive things like a traditonal rug on display.
Ask what your family is
interested in? Love colour? Like animals? Prefer pattern to plain? What are your favourite colours? Do you like natural fabrics? How much artwork to you have on your
walls? How much TV do you watch or do
you like to curl up with a good book?
Throw away the magazines,
forget Pinterest and chat to the people who share your home and find a style
that’s right for you – yours!
