What is Style?

There is so much confusion about style and theme. Let’s start with style.  What does that mean to you?

Style is typically things like modern, contemporary, traditional, coastal, etc.  When I work with my clients though, the biggest question I have for them is what do you want your home to feel like? Most of them cannot answer that. They only think in terms of style.

What I know is that the “feeling” will help dictate how the style will work for you.  There are so many variations of each style and that is what makes it unique to you and your family.  Everyone visualizes what a certain style means to them and that may be totally different to what someone else thinks that style should look like.

Everything from color choices to furniture creates the different feel within each style.  Think about your style… what do you see? Now think about what you want it to feel like… how do you live in your home?  Do you like to entertain a lot, have your kids bring over their friends and traipse through the house playing or do you live alone and like to hibernate after a long day at work.  We all have a different life style.  The question is how do you   incorporate all that together?
