It's crazy that in 4.5 months from now I will hopefully (if I get a job and have enough money to own my own place) get to decorate my own space. I am excited to pick out patterns, colors, and furniture that fits my style. But what is my style? Well, According to Imagini Style Finder I am {Funky Modern}. Here is the description:
Your modern and lively sense of style is perfect for today's easy living, and just about suits any budget. Chances are that some of your favourite things were picked up at a car boot sale, in a market while on holiday, or handed down through the family. At the same time, you might have saved (or be saving) for the perfect Eames chair or Mies sofa, a classic that never goes out of style and something you will take with you from one home to the next.
Living Room You have a comfortably contemporary living room. The danger with the 'modern look' is that it too easily falls into the realm of the bland and insipid; 'easy' gets confused with 'careless' and the result is just downright dull! Perhaps of all the rooms in our homes, the living room can be the one that most expresses your sense of style and your interests. Think, too, about how and when you will most use the room. For example, do you want it light and airy or warm and cosy? Try introducing one or two unexpected elements when choosing your accessories: one of the positives of the modern look is that it is very accommodating. Bold splashes of colour indicate a confident sense of style, while glamorous prints and patterns are fun and stylish. With a living room like yours, it's no wonder family and friends love popping round to see you.
Bedroom Your bedroom benefits from a lovely feminine touch. Sleep is fundamentally important to our well being. In busy towns and cities, noise can often hamper a good night's sleep. Soft furnishings really do absorb sound, and touch is such an important sense in the bedroom, from crisp, linen sheets to wool or even sheepskin underfoot. You like to surround yourself with pretty frills and flounces in your bedroom, using light, bright colours to create a refreshing retreat that's easy on the eye.
Dining Room You're an interiors globe-trotter, the inveterate internationalist. At home, your dining space mixes inspiration from different cultures and countries, perhaps reflecting your origins or a favourite holiday destination. It's a common misconception that the 'ethnic' or global look is synonymous with decorating on a budget. You know better, however, and can point to the influence of primitivism on the masters of modernism as proof of its sophistication. When it comes to entertaining, you like to aim for maximum impact with minimum hassle.
Home Office You like things floral and feminine, even in the home office. Hot desking is all very well at work, but having a designated 'office' space at home really does make sense, even if it's in a corner of your bedroom. Pretty finishing touches can transform even the most utilitarian desks: a potted plant, a vase of flowers or family photographs can make all the difference.
Conclusion Fresh, fun and easy to live with, your home is perfect for how you live your life.
