What's my decorating style?

Never static, design styles are constantly changing. According to Diamond Baratta Design, "All the design rules we had 20 years ago are important; it's like learning the classics. But those design rules, basically, all have to get thrown in the garbage or you're not growing. You keep them, and you have to integrate them, but you have to expand, too. You have to keep reinventing."

 

Modern
Rise above annoying clutter and small space with a room that is inspired by technology and efficiency. The modern home features European and mid-century modern home furniture, glass-top tables, sleek Italian sofas, 20th century art, industrial materials and more.

Modern rooms are ideal for homes with open floor plans, boxy shapes, plain walls and windows, small spaces or Euro-style kitchens. Modern environments are home to streamlined furniture, simple shapes and high-performance materials. They maximize space, increase daylight and improve efficiency.
