What Style Are You?

Interior design is a big passion of mine. Not the minimalistic, modern type of design that reflects an emptiness of soul - but the kind of design that makes one walk into a room and immediately relax, where pets and children are welcome, books are everywhere and who cares if everything matches perfectly. Cottage style is my favorite, along with dashes of country and traditional. I must admit that one good thing from my time here in Denmark has been getting creative in design. Danish design is heavy on the modern with a high dose of black and white. In order to get rooms I love, I've learned new crafts (for example, rug making - braided rugs are next on my list) and how to adapt modern style furniture into something livable.

The Home Goods website has an interesting quiz in finding out what style reflects your likes/dislikes. It did hit mine spot on:

Heather, you are a Country Casual

Your home expresses your open, easygoing approach to life. You love unique finds, and can turn a few mismatched garden chairs or floral teacups into a charming arrangement. You appreciate a pretty mix of relaxed pieces, like painted wood or weathered furniture, lovely florals and other patterns, lots of throws and pillows, mementos and bunches of fresh flowers that give your home a unique sense of breeziness and charm.

You value comfort. Your home is a warm and open friendly place, and you feel happiest when everyone is cared for and relaxed in your space. Elements like pillows, throws, overstuffed furniture, and good lighting set the mood. You may also enjoy layering different fabrics or mixing patterns to create a cozy effect.

So, what style are you?
