MIMIMALISM/MODERNIST - Mimimal style - chrome, steel, glass, leather, plastics, functional, uncluttered, smooth & or polished surfaces

TRADITIONAL - English - Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian - refined, sturdy and stately

GLOBAL - Modern, warm, textured and stylishly casual. A blend of contemporary synthetic product with organic indigenous materials. It appreciates a more simple, minimal approach to design - functional. Timbers, leathers, chrome, glass, straight lines, most decorative features however will reflect warmth - candles, floral arrangements, statues

RETRO - Call back to the 60's and 70's, fake furs, large swirls and geometrics, vinyls, loud colour

TROPICAL/PLANTATION - Bright bold and hot colours, cane, wicker, water hyacinth, (pineapples, palm trees, rustic timbers, fun, sunny and casual)

Eclectic, individual style.

I'm a complete, complete perfectionist minimalist.

GLOBAL

RETRO. Just not too tacky and loud.

just plain fucked up.

I guess I'm global, if anything...very simple and functional (love the Bauhaus philosophy towards design, even if it's not evident in my surroundings), lots of clean, simple lines, very casual. While I don't have any statues or floral arrangements, I do have gobs of candles (and candle holders..lol), and the color and warmth is seen within the drawings, paintings and prints I incorporate throughout...

provincial mixed with Queen Anne and a few brocade patterns thrown together

cool I didn't know there was a name for it!

I have 1800's look! I dress up as King Louie and parade up and down the livingroom.

I SO love your apartment. I wish I had the eye you have

I think I fall into the "cheap Kmart shit" category, although I didn't see that one listed.

COMPLETE modernist- loads of glass and brushed chrome, vivid color against white, clean. Think art gallery. My lifestyle is relaxed but beverly hills- spirit is always happy!
