4 Question To Help You Determine Your Style!

Below are four questions you can ask yourself and based on your answers, it will help you narrow down a style that best suits you and your home.
Once you know which styles are more to your liking, you can research those styles and see for yourself if you like them. Then, when you meet with your designer, it can be a more fruitful meeting because it is always easier for your designer to give you what you want when you know exactly what what it is that you like.
1. Past or present?
