How To Find Your Decor Style
A Cozy Lifestyle with Clearissa Coward
Choosing a decor style involves a combination of personal preference, practicality, and understanding of various design elements. Do note that one does not have to be tied to one style. You should give yourself some grace and realize it is definitely okay to mix styles, which is most comfortable for me. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you choose the right decor style for your space: This article, How To Find Your Decor Style, is only a blueprint because I believe style is personal.
Research: Spend some time researching different decor styles to understand what resonates with you. Look through magazines, websites, and social media platforms like Pinterest or Instagram, and visit home decor stores to gather inspiration. Although I have changed and combined styles for what seems like forever, research taught me more about what style does not resonate with me more than which style(s) I love. I found that I am not a glam girl and I am not a minimalist. And I learned that through research.
Identify Your Preferences: Consider your personal taste, lifestyle, and the mood you want to create in your space. Do you prefer a cozy and rustic feel (I do) or a sleek and modern look? Are you drawn to bright colors and bold patterns, or do you prefer a more subdued palette? Identifying your preferences will help narrow down your options. This is a very important step for finding your style. I find that cozy and comfortable is my style and I achieve the cozy vibe by mixing and matching several styles, but never glam.
Consider Your Space: Be sure to take into account the architectural features and layout of your space. Some decor styles may complement certain architectural elements better than others. Additionally, consider the size of your space and how different styles might impact the flow and functionality of the room.
Mix and Match: Don’t feel limited to choosing just one decor style. Many people create unique and eclectic spaces by blending elements from different styles. However, it’s important to ensure that the different elements harmonize well together to avoid a cluttered or chaotic look.
Take Inspiration from Your Surroundings: Draw inspiration from your surroundings, such as nature, culture, or travel experiences. Incorporating personal significance elements can add depth and character to your decor. This is also a way to make your space feel curated over time instead of like you walked into a furniture store and purchased a room of furniture.
Consider Practicality: Think about the practical aspects of your chosen decor style, such as maintenance requirements, durability of materials, and functionality of furniture. Make sure that your decor choices not only look good but also suit your lifestyle and meet your practical needs.
Experiment: Don’t be afraid to experiment with different decor styles until you find the one that feels right for you. You can start by making small changes, such as adding decorative accents or switching out furniture pieces, to test how different styles resonate with your space. A good way to test the furniture waters without spending a fortune is to check out thrift stores and upcycling. You can invest in expensive pieces once you know exactly what you like.
Seek Professional Advice: If you’re unsure about which decor style to choose or how to implement it effectively, consider seeking advice from interior designers or decorators. They can provide valuable insights and guidance based on their expertise and experience.
Remember, the most important thing is to create a space that reflects your personality, makes you feel comfortable, and brings you joy. Trust your instincts and have fun exploring different decor styles until you find the perfect fit for your home and bote. Remember to make your home feel like you. Your space is personal and you should feel comfortable in your space. What do you think? Will this article help you determine How To Find Your Decor Style?
