Interior Design Style Quiz Must-Haves

For an interior design quiz to be accurate (and enjoyable!), it needs the following few elements.

Photos vs Text 

A picture is worth a thousand words. And it easily says more than a description ever could. For this reason, it’s important to go with picture-rich quizzes if you want to find your design style. This way, there will be no uncertainty when it comes to the look you love.

Simplicity

The less fuss, the better. A quiz should be easy to understand and follow. Not only are pictures and descriptions important, but the flow of questions is also vital. As soon as there’s a clunky, overcomplicated chunk of info, we tend to lose interest. That’s not very helpful when trying to find your style. Stick to simplicity, above all else.

Clear Results 

Like simplifying, sticking to clear results is crucial in any interior design style quiz. After all, this is what each question leads up to; the big reveal – your style. That said, the result must be thorough, descriptive but to the point. 

Best Questions to Find Your Design Style 

Find your interior design style like this one by Decorilla designer, Mladen C.

Asking “what is my design, decorating, or home style?” is a good start, but some questions will get you further. These are straightforward but essential things to tick off your decorating style quiz. 

• How much color do you like in your rooms?

Styles are color-sensitive. If you like a colorful interior, for instance, it will exclude certain styles, like modern and coastal design. On the other hand, certain styles, like eclectic design, flourish with color.

• What type of furniture do you find appealing?

A mid-century modern Barcelona chair, for instance, would be wholly out of place in a rustic interior. For this reason, knowing your furniture likes and dislikes can steer you into the right direction.

• What materials are you drawn to?

As each style has its characteristics, they will have a specific set of materials that feature more than others. If you like natural materials, for example, it’ll be safe to say a glam or traditional interior is not for you. However, country and rustic design would make a better fit.

• How do you want your home to feel?

Some styles are cozy and inviting, while others are formal and chic. So, be mindful of the atmosphere you want in your home at the end of the day.
