Decorating Style Quiz

A few months ago I received an email from Home Goods that included a short quiz to discover my decorating style.  This was GREAT since I've always had a hard time pinpointing what it was.  I've changed my decor as the trends have changed, but when I took this quiz I realized that, deep down, my basic decorating style has remained the same . . . a little bit plain and a little bit fancy.  So what did the quiz say about me? That my style is Farmhouse Glam!  That's it!  I've  finally got a name for how I decorate! 

The quiz is very quick yet surprizingly accurate . I emailed it to some friends and it really seemed to pinpoint their tastes as well.  To take the Home Goods Stylescape quiz click on this link.  Once you've found your style you'll also find some tips on decorating in that style.  But before you start, here are a few pics taken throughout my home that will show why I am Farmhouse Glam.  Duh!  Was I blind?

And finally . . .  it isn't just our home decor that defines our style, but our choice is clothing is often similar.  Case in point . . . here is a typical outfit I'd pick to go out shopping or to church.  I am all about jeans and boots (farmhouse) but I love to add sparkle to my outfits (glam). I also love the soft cozyness of this little faux fur jacket.

This was such a fun quiz and it only takes about two minutes.  Give it a try!  I'd love to hear back from you what you find out about yourself and your own unique style. Enjoy!

  1. I took the quiz and there were two images I just couldn't decide between, so I took it twice. I ended up being either Modern Metro or New Country depending on only one image. It kinda works for me as I think of myself as urban farmhouse. So I think for Home Goods I am Metro Country! I like it!

  3. I got Sassy! I think it is pretty accurate! I have a lot of bright colors in my apartment like it says to have and I started with a white backdrop. Thanks for the quiz though, it had a lot of great ideas!

    Sassy is just that! She couldn't be short on personality if she tried. She expresses herself with playful colors, fun patterns, and an unabashed boldness—all acquired at very savvy prices. She knows her style, and she's not afraid to take risks and have fun. When you visit a Sassy friend, you can't help but smile.

  6. Haha isn't it crazy when a quiz just hits right home? I feel like they're either totally accurate or just a plain bust. And farmhouse + glam? Love. That's the best style. I'm really digging the outfit you posted - I would totally wear that!!

    1. It is crazy, especially when the quiz is so simplistic. Nice to meet another farmhouse glam person!

  7. I got Urban Funk the first time, with a touch of BoHo. Second time I got new country, with a touch of BoHo. So I think I am Urban Country Funky Boho!

    1. Love it! Boho is such a great look. I'd love to see some pics of people's homes to see how their styles highlight their test results. Thanks Sherrie.

    2. Well you certainly wouldn't see any Urban Funk, or Boho, not really country either. More woodsy, cabin-y, family, lived-in look. LOL!
