Hi darlings, today`s post is all about interior design styles and how to discover yours the easy way. 

Sometimes it is very difficult to determinate what`s your style and how to chose things for your home that will show it off the best possible way. So, today I`m choosing just the 7 most popular interior design styles at the moment and hope you`ll recognize which one represents you. If you don`t have a clue which one is yours, it is a good idea to look around your home and find out things and decor you love. They most likely represents one of the styles which will definitely help. Another great idea is to go over on Pinterest, create a new board and pin all the things you like. You can check it later and see if anything is ripeting, like colors, furniture, decor etc.
