If you have identified what you're like in PART 1 - Where Do I Start?, then you're ready to choose the style that fits your personality comfortably and confidently. If you still don't have a clue, and would rather follow what's hot for this season, by all means join the in-crowd.
Before jumping to decision in a haste, you might want to check on these pointers:
Is it practical?
When deciding on what furniture, fabrics and decorative displays to use, take into account your lifestyle, and not to forget those who's living with you. You might be dreaming of displaying that gorgeous collection of crystal bowls you've patiently gathered over the years from travelling abroad, however having small kids at home just wouldn't do justice to your passion. If you love socializing, and often hold gatherings and parties at your home, having that perfect clean line of all white items in your living room would not be such a good idea afterall, unless you considered finger-marked stains an art deco.
Foresee the downsides, as well as the advantages before deciding.
Can you afford it?
While it is okay to dream big, make sure you have properly done your budget, which includes some extras for unforseen circumstances. Decorating could turn out to be really expensive if you get carried away. The best way, is to have a budget for every step of the job, from the cost of materials to the fees of the professionals.
Done the above? Now, it's time to decide on which style to pick:
1. New-age Modern
2. High-street Chic
3. Casual Country
4. That Retro Look
5. Designer Luxury
6. Maximalism Indulgence
