What if you don’t fit just one style?

You can mix them! Blending elements from different styles is often what makes a home feel the most layered and beautiful. By repeating textures, colors, or shapes, you create a sense of balance and cohesion that feels intentional and timeless. The goal isn’t to fit into a box, but to design a space that feels like you.

We hope this quiz helps you recognize what resonates with you most. Knowing your style personality can help you make confident choices, mix with intention, and create a space that truly feels like home. Need finishing ideas or design support to bring your style to life? We’d love to help.
