The Question

Hi Dani,

I need some help to work out what my design style is. I tend to buy just things I like, and my space always looks messy and things don't really go together. How can I make a space that feels like 'me', but doesn't look random? Are there some styling or design 'rules' I should be following?

The Answer

Decorating your home will always be a work in progress and finding a specific design style doesn’t need to dictate every decision you make in your space. Time and trends will inevitably have an influence on what we like, what we treasure and what we want to display in our homes. 

However, there are some rules – or guidelines – that can help you create a space that reflects you, but is also cohesive and intentional.
