When you are starting any design project, you need to feel some dose of inspiration. In other words, you have to follow your design style. Now, many people actually have a problem of finding their style: what they are drawn to and what they dislike. 

Don’t worry, if that is the case with you. There are some questions you can ask yourself to determine your own aesthetic style and go from there. Here, take this short quiz, and you will know more about what style you prefer. 

Which one do you value more: past or present?

Now, this question may seem strange to you, but past and present often define unique styles when it comes to interior design. Here are the options if you are more of a fan of the past: 

French country

This design style is defined by romance. With its opulent décor and curvy furniture lines, you will feel like you are in a palace. 

Traditional 

Nothing better defines the ‘old world’ than the traditional design. It features comfortable furniture, orderly and classic lines that you cannot mistake for anything else. 

If you are a modern person, who is all about the styles of the present, then this is what you should be looking at: 

Modern

The modern style is all about clean lines and minimalism. 

Eclectic

To create your very own, personalised aesthetic, you can turn to the eclectic style. 

Scandinavian

With its area rugs and wooden options, the Scandinavian design touches on both rustic and modern styles. 

Do you think less is more or that more is more? 

In case you think less is more, the styles that may appeal to you are: 

Contemporary 

This one brings a clean feel with few accessories that put the focus on function. 

Modern

Including negative space to the minimalistic feel of the place is what modern styles do. 

Scandinavian

If you are not familiar with the hygge concept, it is basically all about comfort without overdoing things. 

For those of you that are fans of the more is more philosophy, then these are the styles to check out: 

Traditional 

The traditional style aims to deliver cosiness. It does it through the use of accessories, some of which may be family heirlooms, rich in history. 

Eclectic

The presence of unique accessories is what makes the eclectic design so original. 

Do you prefer full colour, or neutral? 

Depending on your preference, you may be a fan of colour. In this case, here are the styles to look out for: 

Traditional 

This kind of design has to do with richness. It usually features dark colours like green, blue and red. 

Contemporary

The boldness that comes from the saturated colours of the contemporary style comes from burnt orange, navy blue and mustard. 

If you are more after neutrals, then these styles should appeal to you: 

Coastal

White and sand are at the core of the coastal style. Blue dominates as the main accent colour. 

Scandinavian

Grey and white make the base of the Scandinavian colour palette. Sometimes pink and blue pop up. 

Country or city?

For the country type of person: 

Coastal 

The coastal style is perfect for the person who is in love with the beach. 

Rustic

The essence of this style is to get that ‘cabin in the woods’ style, which so many people love. 

For the city type of person: 

Contemporary

This is a style that easily stands the test of time. It never feels out of date, despite the fact it is from the past. 

Modern

Fresh ideas and modern design outline this style, which is perfect for the city lover. 

Now that you know how to determine your style better, you can advance to the next step of designing your dream home.
