What's Your Design Style?

I've taken many a design style quiz in my day, so naturally when HomeGoods released a new one, I was all over that business.


All you do is look at a group of pictures and click on five that appeal to you. No questions about your favorite pair of jeans or where you want to retire, which, for me, never has anything to do with how my house looks. This one is very easy: look at some pretty stuff and click on it.

I took it a handful of times just for fun and got the same result over and over:

My other "and a touch" category was Classic. But the main one was always the same.

At first I was like, "Farmhouse Glam?! Have I even been to a farm?" (The answer is yes, about four times in my whole life.) But then I scrolled down and saw what this actually meant and HELLO:


It's like looking at the home decor version of my jewelry line! Weird! But apparently I like what I like. After I mulled this over for a few minutes I realized that despite being a little girlier than what I actually live in, this style covers my basic design rules: things needs to be simple and functional for the sake of organization, comfortable enough to relax in, and also pretty to look at. It all fits. So now when a professor asks me to describe my personal style for the 500th time, I'm totally saying Farmhouse Glam.

By the way, Hubsey took the quiz too. He's in the Urban Funk category, which did not surprise:


I know these two look a bit jarring next to each other, but I see some similarities. Both have metallics and bold typography, which are things we both love in real life. That orange, though. Yikes.

Have you taken the Stylescope quiz? What category are you? Were you surprised? Know of any other good quizzes I can take while I avoid washing the dishes?

  1. High five, FarmHouse Glam soul sister! I, however, have a touch of The Traveler, which is odd because I'm not much of that, but I guess that's because I picked the beach photo, and I do love the beach. I should have hubby take it just to compare. Thanks for tweeting this the other day!

  2. I'm Sassy with a touch of Classic, while my hubby is The Traveler - that's probably why our home is neutral with a few touches of sassy (me) and a few quaint objects (my hubby)! haha.

  5. VERY fun! I've taken it a couple of times this morning...I think I was influenced by another blogger's photos of the South of France and the beautiful blues...I am "Set Sail" with a touch of "New Country."

    I expected something Rustic...I guess that's the "New Country." And I do LOVE LOVE the color blue.

  8. so apparently i am urban funk with a touch of boho. but as i outlined in today's post, http://batesmercantileco.blogspot.com/2012/09/inspired-design-me.html, i think it's really the other way around. i'd say we might want to throw in a little farmhouse chic too looking at your board. what a hoot!

  11. I'm socialite with a touch of boho, but when I look at their boards on pinterest, I don't really like either one of those so I'm not sure how accurate this thing is. I suppose the socialite is because I picked the big diamond and the zebra stripes....thanks for posting this nice break from the workday!
