According to many design books, my style is The Eclectic Sophisticate (1). I'll think I have my design style figured out and then I see an amazing room on a blog or magazine and I'm thrown into confusion again.
Case in point, this fun design challenge by the talented Emily Henderson (stylebyemilyhenderson.com) where she asks her readers to vote for their favorite style of "1 bookshelf, 4 ways." I was surprisingly attracted to the Desert New Age (3). I love the playful, color-filled, relaxed vibe the style gives off. I think this version is the new "in" style, even in fashion (hello fringe)d. I love this style because it can be incredibly affordable - vintage, distressed, used, green, raw.
In the end, I think it's important to know what you are consistently attracted to when styling a home or yourself, it will make you the happiest in the long run. But I also think it's fun to change it up every now and then and have fun, spaces perfect for this are small bathrooms and bookshelves.
So after all that rambling, the question I want to ask is which style is your favorite?
