6 Simple Steps to Find Your Personal Decorating Style

Finding your personal decorating style can be a fun process, but it can also be a little daunting if you're not sure where to start. However, with a little experimentation, you can discover the perfect decorating style that reflects your personality and taste. Here are some simple steps to help you find your personal decorating style.

Step #1: Remove all items from shelves , cabinets , dining tables , etc. and place them on the floor. Then, divide them into the following categories:

• Items that you use every day and really like. Keep these items.
• Items that you have never used, that you forgot you had, or that you consider ugly. Donate these items to organizations or people who you think will enjoy them more than you do.
• Items with sentimental value that you wouldn't otherwise own. Store them in organization and storage boxes and place them in places that are not visible but are easily accessible, such as a closet or under a bed .

Step #2: Ask yourself what feelings you want each room to evoke. This will be the ultimate goal of the feel and atmosphere of each room. Usually, for the bedroom we aim for calm and serenity, for the living room for something sophisticated and for the kitchen for modern, but in no way is it something that expresses everyone, it is just a general rule.

Step #3: Choose a way to save images from the internet for future use. A good option is Pinterest . Alternatively, you can save them locally on your phone or computer, or even print them.

Step #4: Start researching for ideas! Your best ally is Google Images . Just search for terms like “industrial style living room” and you’ll see thousands of search results. Do this for an hour or two collecting images, then move on to the next step.

Step #5: Now that you have multiple photos of ideas you like saved, look back at them and note what they have in common. For example, you might like the spaces with multiple mirrors , the blue color for the bedroom walls, the antique style of the furniture , etc.

Step #6: Congratulations, you've just found which decor elements express your personal style! Don't worry if they don't all fit into the predefined style categories like "modern", "industrial", "boho", etc. There's no rule that says you can't combine different decor styles with each other!

In the end, the key to finding your personal decorating style is to have fun and trust your instincts. Remember, decorating is about creating a space that makes you happy and feels like home. Happy decorating!
