Decorating with your Personality

December 7, 2017

Whether you realize it or not, the colors you select for your home's décor and your belongings tell a lot about your personality. In fact, according to a recent survey, 58 percent of 2,500 consumers surveyed agree that colors selected for their home, car and consumer products - such as appliances and electronics - reflect their personality and style all or most of the time.

One's desire for certain colors can be quite personal, as each color evokes different emotions based on our unique experiences, current events, memories and style preferences. Pulling inspiration from your wardrobe is a great way to determine your color preferences. Evaluating what clothing items are your go-to staples will help inform you of the colors and styles you find most appealing. If thoughts of weekends at your family cabin bring warm memories, then deep, earthy tones will likely evoke nostalgia in reminiscing about your favorite spot.

If you are a peaceful person that craves calmness, blues may be your go-to hue. By incorporating minimalist and modern décor elements, you can further create a sense of serenity and clarity within your space.

Do you consider yourself charming and carefree? Then you may describe your home décor as pretty in pink. Consider adding a farmhouse feel to the space with distressed wood furniture to embrace country charm and create a modern rustic look.

For spirited extroverts, plum, cherry and purple hues may adorn your space. Show off your bold nature by adding a touch of glam with metallic elements to infuse drama into the space. Brightly colored folk art are the perfect way to add instant pizazz to your space!

In examining the color schemes that are most attractive to you, the home décor elements that make you feel at home, and the sentiments that you value most, among other qualifiers, you will determine which five-color collection best represents your décor preferences and ultimately which colors to incorporate into your home to best express your unique personality.
