my decorating style

Did a test on mydeco's website and got the following results:



HOME-COMING QUEEN

Nothing - budgets included - stops you from putting your all into creating a dream home. Your look is quintessentially feminine: cool, pretty colours; layered patterns and textures; and flawless attention to every detail.
Living Room

You love connecting with nature and the world outside. The rustic living room is cousin to the country cottage, but it's altogether earthier and more rugged, almost troglodyte. There's something elemental about this look, which embodies the romantic spirit of a pilgrim and celebrates the independence of the hermit. That said, it can be warm and welcoming -- a respite or sanctuary from the world outside. It's about the homespun and the homely, about authenticity and log-cabin cosiness. Look to vernacular arts and crafts to accessorise the room, from Harris Tweed throws to old metal or enamel signs. Neutral wall colours provide a calm, easy background, while linen textiles and soft furnishings never go out of style. There are few things more luxurious than a sneaky afternoon nap, dozing off in your favourite spot in the living room.
Bedroom

Your bedroom benefits from a lovely feminine touch. Sleep is fundamentally important to our well being. In busy towns and cities, noise can often hamper a good night's sleep. Soft furnishings really do absorb sound, and touch is such an important sense in the bedroom, from crisp, linen sheets to wool or even sheepskin underfoot. You like to surround yourself with pretty frills and flounces in your bedroom, using the timeless approach of layering white on white to serene effect.
Dining Room

You're a home-lover, bringing a light, feminine touch to mealtimes. At home, your dining room may be quite formal at the same time as being light and airy, with pretty finishing touches. You're a home-maker par excellence, and mealtimes are the perfect occasion for bringing everyone together. If you like patterns ,especially floral ones, be careful about overdoing it: there's a thin line between feminine charms and the gilded lily. When it comes to entertaining, you like quite simple (some might say 'peasant') food with big, robust flavours.
Home Office

Bucolic beauty reigns over your home office. These days, almost all of us have a home office: a desk and a chair in one corner of the living room with adjustable task lighting and adequate filing is all it takes (and might be all the space you can afford). You can give your office space a 'country cottage' look by choosing a button-backed winged armchair and a sturdy antique desk with deep drawers for filing (or even storing your laptop).
Conclusion

Your home is pretty as a chocolate box and almost good enough to eat!


If you want to take the test it is here.

  • I'm Funky Modern. Haha. I used to want to be an interior decorator, but then I realised that I could just have it as a hobby. I think I like too many things to have a put together house though.
