What is your decorating style?

Not modern, not minimalist. Dark oak, deep reds and greens, lots of bookcases and an old fashioned fireplace. Decorating half the house at present but had to put on hold for the isolating malarkey.

Are you redoing your home or did you buy a different place recently?
 
I’m an earth tones kind of person so it makes for a good backdrop to collect and display treasures that I find on my travels. I let those treasures take center stage when it comes to colors.

That is what mine is like. My husband likes to display things he has collected. I like it but for some reason I want my bedroom to be really bright. I am not a morning person so maybe that would make me smile.:)
 
I've heard of style. It's an interresting concept. I might look into it some day.

I’ve been painting more and more since I have time these days and I find myself sticking with brighter colors, but always nature. Flowers, trees, the sky. So that’s probably my personal style, nature in the sunshine.
 
I build a lot of Craftsman/Arts & Craft style furniture...and a few studio pieces
Greene&Greene is nice but a pile of work in the detail
 
My style is the "where-can-I-stash-this, too-cool-to-pass-up-item?" look.

I finally reached enough-already and decided to shift my "decorating" focus on a storage locker and try a minimalist look at the domicile.

I'm going to swap my "yeah-I-gotta-gadget-fo-that" kitchen decor for a "yhis-place-got-counters?:confused:" style.
 
Grey, grey blues and silvers of course. Not ultra modern, not country. Traditional I guess
 
i'd kind of like each room done a different style, so i can visit rooms depending on what mood i want to experience

our bedroom's in cool grey and white with rich wooden flooring and colours added to it with the burgundy ottoman cover and winter/summer curtains in shades of plum/ruby/blue/white and lilac/white respectively

since this is the family home, it has a lot of older-style wood panelling and dark cabinets. i've done some additions with mirrors, cushions, curtaining throws to lighten and brighten with colour and light but i'd prefer a lot lighter, cleaner look in some areas. i'd also love an open fireplace in the living room but we have the big old wood burner i get to play with in winter downstairs in the basement.

i think, basically, i'm happy with a mish-mash of styles so long as everything's not all dark dark dark :rolleyes: comfortable is probably the closest name to a style i can think of
 
Our home was built in 1920.. It's a cape, but it has some decoish features inside. The arches and the built in cabnits have deco flare. We go searching for anything from the period and look for deco furnishings and things. It's hard tho, deco is so fucking expensive these days. We pick up pieces when we find them. Kinda like Conger, buy them and worry about where to put them when you get them home.
 
My bedroom looks like a garage with a wide variety of items on heavy duty steel shelves. Some windows have standard cat towers and others have homemade seats, such as carpet stapled to a table.
