You shouldn't have to be talked into your design style!

It seems as though interior designers have a bad reputation out there for "imposing" their taste on clients, instead of helping those clients bring out their own unique style.

We're here to help you release your inner designer that just can't wait to break free!

Here are some great tips to help you find your style:

1. Pull photos from magazines of any rooms that "sing" to you and take note of all the similarities between the photos (i.e. all the seating items are in neutral fabrics, dark wood elements, light walls, etc.)

2. Take a look at your current artwork, are you drawn to more contemporary styles (like abstract art) or more traditional styles (like landscapes)?

3. Do you find that you love to be surrounded by "things" like accessories or knick-knacks? If so, then you might prefer a more traditional style of decorating. If you like a more minimal take on accessorizing, you will most likely feel more comfortable with a contemporary design style.

4. Are you always drawn to the same stores when shopping for home items? These stores may help you define your unique sense of style. For instance, if you find yourself browsing at Crate & Barrel all the time, your style is definitely more contemporary.

What's your style? We'd love to know!
