How to Choose Your Interior Style

Rather than forcing your home into one category, think of your design style as a blend.

Start by asking:

• What mood do I want in this room?

  • Calm? → Minimalist / Organic Modern

  • Cozy? → Scandinavian

  • Bold? → Industrial + Glam

Your home should reflect how you want to feel inside it.
