A starter for ten. Next month I’ll kick us off by helping you to understand the fundamentals of personal style. In the meantime, to start your journey of discovery into your own personal style let’s play the “Doggie in the window” game!
Discovering your personal style. When it comes to interiors, we all have a personal style, even if you’re not aware of what it is. Exploring your design style preferences helps you to narrow down the wealth of options and develop a style that suits just you.
Answer the following questions: Did they make you feel:
Home & Garden
When you get home, summarise what you found out about what you like.
Were the things you picked:
Were they:
What else can you say about the things you picked?
Did you notice a pattern, a theme, a colour palette, or some other similarities among the things you were drawn to?
Keep a record of what you are learning about your taste; it will all help you to clarify your personal style, taste and personality.

Well done, you have just voiced opinion on your style preferences! Now in order to develop and understand your preferences, every time you glance in a store window, enter someone’s house, flip through a magazine or watch the T.V, start asking yourself if you like how things have been designed and put together, and see if it evokes a positive emotional response in you. Discovering what brings you personal joy and fulfilment is a stepping stone to discovering your personal style.
The “doggie in the window” game! This is a fun game you can play anytime you go shopping and will help you discover what you love and why. Great on your own, but even more fun if you take your girlfriends!
Choose a home related store and go window shopping... literally look in the window, at display racks or display tables and decide on the one thing you would buy. Don’t actually buy the item; this is a decision game not a purchasing game, but decide on the one thing you would take home if you had to.
You have to pick something even if you hate it all, and on the other hand you have to only choose one item even if you love everything you see! Then make your case about the item you chose. Was it the colour, style, function or craftsmanship that made you choose it? Does it remind you of something or someone.
Explain your reasons to yourself or your friends. Listen to their choices too. It not only ups the fun, but also helps you to expand your ability to see why other choices get made. After you’ve made your cases move on to the next window and repeat!
