Understanding your home’s style

Understanding your home’s style is essential because it helps guide your design choices to ensure that everything works together cohesively. Your home’s style reflects your personality, lifestyle, and preferences. Here are a few steps to help you better understand and define your home’s style:

1. Identify Your Preferences

• Look at what you already have: Take a look at the furniture and decor pieces that you feel most connected to. What colors, materials, and shapes are you drawn to?
• Browse Design Inspirations: Platforms like Pinterest, Instagram, or design magazines can be helpful. Pin or save images of rooms or homes you love, and notice patterns (e.g., modern, rustic, eclectic, minimal).

2. Classify Design Styles

Here are some popular styles that might resonate with you:

• Modern or contemporary: Clean lines, neutral colors,  minimal décor and reflect current trends.

Please see our Aura collection and Smart LED collection 

• Industrial: Raw materials like metal, brick, and wood. Often seen in cafes or converted warehouses.

Please see our Rustic collection 

• Scandi (Scandinavian): Light, airy spaces with clean lines, natural wood, and a minimalist approach. White and soft hues are typical.

Please see our Skandia collection 

• Bohemian (Boho): A relaxed, free-spirited style with eclectic pieces, vibrant colors, and textures.

Please see our Nature collection 

• Traditional: Classic furniture, rich woods, and luxurious fabrics. Think of symmetry and formal design.

Please see our Majesty collection 

• Mid-Century Modern: Sleek, retro design with angular lines, functional furniture, and an emphasis on natural materials.

Please see our Glow collection  

• Farmhouse: Cozy, rustic elements, wood, shiplap, and vintage pieces, giving a warm and welcoming feel.

3. Consider Functionality & Comfort

• Think about how you use each room. Are you a fan of cozy spaces with lots of textiles (like plush rugs and throw pillows), or do you prefer clean, open spaces with less clutter?
• Your lifestyle matters—if you entertain often, your style might lean toward a more open, social design with comfortable seating.

4. Consider Your Personality

• The style of your home should also reflect you. Do you enjoy nature and want a lot of greenery or wooden elements? Are you drawn to sleek, streamlined designs? Your home is a reflection of who you are, so it should feel comfortable and personal to you.

4. Assess the Architecture of Your Home

• Your home’s architecture plays a role in defining its style. Does it have traditional molding, exposed beams, high ceilings, or large windows? These details can help inform the direction of your design choices.

5. Color Palette

• Colors can set the tone for a room. Some styles, like modern or Scandinavian, might feature a neutral or cool-toned palette, while boho or farmhouse could incorporate more warm, earthy tones. Look at what colors you naturally gravitate toward.
