Whenever we hear phrases like “you are what you eat” and “you are what you wear”, it oftentimes gives us an impression on the life of that particular person and the kind of life he or she lives. And by observation alone, people have perceived varying differences based on their behaviour, especially in their personalities, interests, moods, etc.
People say self-expression starts at home. Even in the old days, people use their homes as a way to express themselves by decorating and designing according to their needs, wants, and sometimes, even by tradition.
When it comes to decorating your home, there’s an abundance of styles to choose from. Here, we run down the top 5 most popular 5 interior design styles that might suit one’s personality best:

If you are someone who loves sentimental pieces, rustic interiors, and a homey atmosphere, then the Shabby Chic style would fit you like a glove. An eclectic style that mixes antique furniture with pastel colours and feminine-type floral designs with lace, Shabby Chic is also sometimes called “Vintage Chic” or “Country Chic” because of its charming countryside appeal that characterises a highly social, artistic, fresh, and in love with nature type of owner.

With a balance of natural shapes and designs of molded plastic or aluminium, this design style is based on the classic and timeless look of the last decade. This style is usually portrayed by clean lines, gentle organic curves, a passion for different materials.

The main mantra of this style is simplicity. Minimalism is characterised by a “less is more” and “everything needs a place and a reason” approach. It uses clean and modern lines, toned down colour palette, tight editing, and a methodical organisation of the things inside the home. The Minimalist style is also oftentimes, spotless, gallery-like, and very refined. If you can identify with this style’s character, then you might find it a perfect match to yours.
