Style Finder

You probably know your style better than any label. Answer eight questions by eye, choosing surfaces, shapes, light and colour, and the Style Finder names the style your choices have in common.

How it works

Every answer adds points to one or more of eight styles: Art Deco, Bauhaus Modern, Mid-Century Modern, Scandinavian, Japandi, Mediterranean, Neoclassical and Wabi-sabi. The result shows your leading style and the one that comes second, because most beautiful homes are a conversation between two.

Your result is saved in this browser only, so you can return to it later and compare it with the palettes in the Colour Palette Studio.

The rules of thumb behind it

Answer quickly: the first image that pleases you is usually the right one.
A second style that runs close behind the first is an invitation to mix, not a contradiction.
Let materials carry a style rather than themed decoration.

All values are widely used rules of thumb from interior and lighting design, offered as guidance and never as norms.
