How to Find Your Decorating Style

Decorating your home can be rewarding. Depending on the room, trends, style, and budget, it can also be challenging. Fortunately, Home Zone has hundreds of pieces of high-quality yet affordable home decor for your spaces in styles that suit all tastes. These include styles from modern or contemporary to traditional or bohemian. There’s also an array of styles in between, as diverse as coastal, industrial, and Art Deco. 

Decorating style is personal. Creating a harmonious, appealing, functional space takes thoughtful planning and a keen eye for items that complement your aesthetic. But what if you’re not sure about your style? Many of us have collected pieces we love, but may not have an overall theme. Distinctive styles can certainly go well together. However, it helps to focus on one or two to create cohesion.

We’re here to help. Consider the Home Zone team your coach — your guide to decorating welcoming, comfortable, and stylish living spaces. Let’s figure it out together.

Open Your Closet for Room Decor Style Clues

Popular interior designer and lifestyle blogger Emily Henderson was really onto something when she came up with the idea of coordinating your decorating style with your wardrobe. It just so happens that our fashion choices are closely related to the interior design and furnishings we adore. 

Start in your closet. Think about the jewelry you wear, your choice in bookends and home fragrance, the colors and textures you’re drawn to, whether you prefer solids or patterns, classic or modern styles, and let those ideas guide you.

Look for Trends in New Home Furnishings and Decorative Accessories

Next time you find yourself standing near a magazine rack, go ahead and flip through a few home design magazines. Which photos are you most drawn to? For example, a love for classic pieces with turned legs, tailored details, and heavier, old-world fabrics might indicate a more traditional taste. 

Your taste leans to modern if you prefer clean lines, sophisticated fabrics, and fashion-forward touches. You are transitional if you love giving traditional styles an unexpected, contemporary twist. At Home Zone, we have pieces to suit all these styles and more at fabulous prices — no dreaming necessary.

Click Around for Living Room Decor Inspiration

Numerous sites can help you home in on your style, if not with a quiz, by assisting you in selecting inspirational images that resonate with you. Pinterest is an excellent source. You can create boards for each style, each room in your home, or anything else you’d like. 

Other inspiring sites include Houzz, BHG, and HGTV. It’s easy to create a virtual scrapbook of styles you like, and the more you click around, the more specific types will naturally float to the top.

Ask a Friend for Insights Into Your Home Decor Style

Sometimes, we see ourselves differently than others do. You might see your style as a jumble of likes and dislikes, while your best friend or sister might know precisely how to define your style. Give it a shot — call your BFF and ask, “If you had to describe my style, what would you say?” You might be surprised!

Take a Vacation: Let Your Home Imagination Soar

When you step outside the real world, you may find yourself free to discover more about yourself. Imagine living anywhere in the world, in any type of home. Where would you live? What would your home look like? Find inspiration. Sure, you can’t live anywhere in the world, in any home you want. Still, you can draw inspiration from those daydreams to create spaces in your own home.

Visualize your refreshed spring home with a “designer” living room, dining room, bedroom, and bathroom, trying out various styles. Experiment with decorative objects such as throw pillows, elegant or boho candle holders, rugs, and wall decor, from wall art to picture frames and hangings. Try out different shades, patterns, and a floral print or two. Settle on what works and what doesn’t
