Mostly A's: Farmhouse & Rustic
You're looking for designs that feel inviting, comfortable, and practical. These two styles both focus on coziness and comfort, but farmhouse and rustic do differ slightly. Farmhouse-style homes tend to have bright and breezy color palettes filled with creamy white, light beige, and gray, while rustic palettes skew slightly darker with rich shades of brown, rust red, and mossy green. Similarly, farmhouse homes lean more toward lightweight, durable fabrics like cotton and linen, whereas rustic design incorporates materials like leather, fur, and suede. However, both styles use plenty of natural wood finishes, straightforward silhouettes, and practical neutral hues.

With your love of bold patterns, organic shapes, and rich textures, your decorating style walks on the eclectic side. You're a fan of neutrals, but you're not afraid of color. Thriving plants, sunny hues, and natural textures are key components of this design style, but boho style is easy to customize to match your personal style as well.

You love sleek materials, clean lines, and sculptural silhouettes, which makes modern style a good fit for your home. You look for furniture that combines form and function, and you have a discerning eye for contemporary art. With modern design, you can stick with a palette of soothing neutrals, err on the side of technicolor tones, or settle somewhere in the middle with pops of vivid color.

Mostly D's: Traditional
You're drawn to ornate details, classic materials, and antique-inspired charm. These interiors are warm and inviting, often using earth tones and the occasional jewel-toned accent color to create a polished color palette. Traditional-style spaces are designed for comfort and style with plush seating, cozy rugs, ambient chandeliers, and elegant wall art.
