my style: modern elegance
I took the personal style quiz at Sproost and my result was 100% Modern Elegance. I think this sounds like me:
Variety is the spice of life! And nowhere is this truer than in the design of your home. You may love contemporary, but wish it wasn’t quite so cold and austere, or perhaps you’re drawn to traditional rooms but you’d like to create a less cluttered and busy space. Transitional Style is here to marry those apparent contradicting designs.
And guess what? It’s the contradictions that make the mix of contemporary and traditional so successful. The result is an elegant room that appeals to young and old alike. A sofa with modern lines blends seamlessly with a pair of traditional chairs. New fabrics work so well on antique pieces. It turns out that modern art looks even more exciting above a collection of traditional pieces. The room feels simple and sophisticated, elegant and hip.
Take a peek at my living room. Would you call it Modern Elegance?
And this is how the previous owners decorated the same room. Definitely NOT Modern Elegance!
How would you describe your personal style?
Love it! I’ll have to take this quiz too. It’s perfect timing.
Definitely modern and elegant! But not overly so (stuffy is NOT a word I’d use to describe your room…. warm, inviting and cozy in a fresh modern way).
I love it… especially when compared to the previous owners’ ‘before’ photo.
You must share your results!
Thanks so much, Sarah! The previous owners had a very “modern country” style, I think. I’ll show more before & afters in the upcoming weeks.
You know this is my kind of post! Your living room looks great, totally modern elegance.
I consider my home “retro modern.” http://www.flickr.com/photos/eastnashvilleatomic/sets/72157613601701626/
I’ll have to see what the survey says another time. It’s not loading right now.
Wow, I adore this. I want it for my own.Such good use of calm hues + making the scene more complex with shapes of the same color. (PS: they couldn’t ID my style, meh.)
I love the splash of orange but I think you need to incorporate it elsewhere in the room with small touches, like some throw pillows. Your room made me think of this fabulous pillow I saw on etsy that was white with an orange bird on a twig; it would look so cool on your neutral sofa; also maybe a couple little splashes of it elsewhere, like with little vases or flowers in that color family. You also need a cozy throw to soften your sofa up a bit.
