Defining your Home’s Style

If you’re an everyday homeowner with a family and pets, chances are that your living room has no particular decorating style. Cottage décor is a dream and contemporary decor a frightening prospect of a total room makeover. You have a mish-mash of furniture and accessories that you try to pull together every once in a while and then get discouraged. 

 

Incorporate your lifestyle

If you have a mish mash of looks in your living room, you just never defined your decorating style. Style is about your personality and lifestyle.

How do you do it? Have a look around your living room and choose your favorite pieces.

What style are they? If you’re choosing chintz and florals, you are more to traditional style. If you choose simple line furniture  there is a chance you prefer contemporary.
