I recently came across this quiz from the American Furniture Manufacture\u2019s Association on how to match your personal style with your home d\u00e9cor. This is an informative quiz that will assist the average home owner in determining their personal style. Enjoy!<\/p>\n
Are you as comfortable in your home as you are in your clothes? When you entertain, does your home showcase your personal style? 1. How would you best describe your wardrobe?<\/strong> 2. Which accessories do you typically display in your home?<\/strong> 3. Which of the following is your ideal way to entertain?<\/strong> 4. Where would you spend your dream vacation?<\/strong> 5. What is your ideal way to spend a day off?<\/strong> If you answered: Mostly A’s:<\/strong> Your style is casual. Casual styles cater to today’s easy-living lifestyles. Think overstuffed sofas, carefree fabrics, matte finishes and a range of woods including oak, pine, ash and maple. Create warm interiors with earthy, neutral colors, textured upholstery and personal keepsakes.<\/p>\n If you answered mostly B’s:<\/strong> Your style is contemporary. Contemporary encompasses all things simple, streamlined and sleek. This modern look focuses on function with bold colors, sharp lines and minimalist patterns. Uncomplicated interiors are defined by larger-scale accessories and art pieces that complement metal and glass.<\/p>\n If you answered Mostly C’s:<\/strong> Your style is country. Country-style decors exude welcoming, heartwarming coziness with timeworn furnishings, distressed and painted woods, plump sofas and ruffled skirts. Rounded and soft cushions, floral prints, bold stripes, gingham and plaid fabric covers are all trademarks of the country style. Accent pieces include quilts, braided rugs, folk art and antique bottles.<\/p>\n If you answered mostly D’s:<\/strong> Your style is traditional. Traditional styles are formal in every sense \u2013 symmetric designs, graceful carved curves, rich and mellow colors, dark polished woods and elegant upholstery. Antiques made before 1900, wing chairs, camelback or sweetheart sofas, damask and chintz fabric covers, cherry and mahogany woods, and Oriental carpets are classic examples of this time-honored traditional style.<\/p>\n If you answered mostly E’s:<\/strong> Your style is eclectic. Eclectic interiors are highly individualistic and feature a mix of compatible styles. Accents include objects collected from around the world, ethnic or artisan pieces. Furniture and textured fabric covers cross styles and periods, while color is often the common denominator. True eclectic style reflects a unique eye and personal interests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I recently came across this quiz from the American Furniture Manufacture\u2019s Association on how to match your personal style with your home d\u00e9cor.
