Quiz Results Breakdown


If you got mostly A’s, your style is Traditional—think timeless design, classic furniture, warm wood tones, and cozy, layered spaces that feel lived-in and elegant. You’re drawn to symmetry, details, and decor that tells a story.
If you got mostly B’s, you’re all about Transitional style. You like a little bit of everything—a perfect blend of old and new. Your home probably features clean lines with soft curves, neutral colors, and a balance of classic and contemporary pieces.
If you got mostly C’s, your style is Modern. You love minimalism, bold shapes, clean lines, and an uncluttered aesthetic. Your spaces are likely sleek and functional, with a focus on form and simplicity.

Why Knowing Your Design Style Matters

Before I figured out my own style, I kept buying things that looked pretty online, but didn’t work once I got them home. Sound familiar? I’d repaint, rearrange, and still feel like the room was off. Once I got more intentional and narrowed down my style (or combo of styles), everything started to fall into place. From paint colors to hardware to furniture.

Knowing your style gives you a filter. It helps you say no to random impulse buys and yes to the things that will actually work in your space long-term.
