What Is Your Interior Design Personality Style? Take the Quiz!
One of the most important — and most overlooked — foundations of a peaceful home is understanding your interior design personality style.
Many homeowners feel overwhelmed not because they lack good taste, but because they’re trying to decorate without a clear sense of identity.
Interior design becomes frustrating when inspiration replaces intention. Pinterest boards grow, shopping carts fill, and yet the home never quite feels right. That’s because style isn’t about trends — it’s about alignment.
When you understand your design personality, decisions become easier, purchases become purposeful, and your home begins to reflect who you truly are.
“You are God’s workmanship, created for good works.”
WHY PINTEREST CREATES CONFUSION
Pinterest and social media often showcase beautiful rooms — but they rarely explain why those rooms work or who they are designed for. Homeowners begin mixing styles that don’t belong together, hoping something will eventually click.
Without a clear design identity, decorating becomes reactive. You buy what you like at the moment, only to realize later that it doesn’t fit your space, lifestyle, or existing pieces. Over time, this leads to clutter, regret, and constant second-guessing.
The issue isn’t inspiration — it’s lack of self-understanding.
WHEN STYLE CLARITY CHANGES EVERYTHING
I often meet clients who tell me, “I like everything.” And that’s true — they appreciate many beautiful styles. But their homes feel unsettled because nothing is anchored.
Once we identify their design personality, something shifts. They stop chasing every look and start refining their look.
Shopping becomes intentional.
Editing becomes easier.
The home begins to feel cohesive instead of crowded.
Style clarity brings relief — not restriction.
3 WAYS KNOWING YOUR DESIGN PERSONALITY TRANSFORMS YOUR HOME
1| Decisions Get Easier
When you know your design personality, you no longer debate every purchase. You quickly recognize what belongs and what doesn’t, saving time and energy.
2| Shopping Becomes Intentional
Instead of impulse buying, you invest in pieces that support your overall vision. This protects your budget and prevents regret.
3| Your Home Feels Cohesive
A clear style creates harmony. Rooms connect visually and emotionally, allowing your home to feel finished and peaceful.
DESIGNING FROM IDENTITY, NOT COMPARISON
Peace grows when we design from identity rather than comparison.
Your home doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s — it needs to reflect you. Design rooted in self-understanding honors stewardship and wisdom.
When identity leads, confidence follows.
A home aligned with who you are naturally supports rest, clarity, and joy.
“Let each one examine his own work.”
CLARITY IS THE STARTING POINT
Clarity of your personal interior design style.
Before you buy another piece of furniture or save another inspiration photo, pause and identify your design personality.
Clarity at the beginning prevents frustration later.
A home designed from identity feels calm, intentional, and deeply personal — and peace settles naturally.
