- 2
Think about how you live
Kids, pets, a home office, guests every weekend? A style has to survive your actual life, not a photo shoot.
- 3

Take the style quiz
8 questions, about 2 minutes, no email.
№ 05Mixing styles
One home, more than one style, still one home.
Most good homes mix styles. These four threads keep it from looking accidental.
Pick a main style
Let one style lead in most rooms, and allow one or two rooms to go bolder.
Share a palette
Two or three base colors in every room tie different styles together.
Repeat materials
Echo a wood or a metal from room to room, even in small things like frames and hardware.
Keep floors consistent
Matching floors between connected rooms make a house feel like one home.

Style FAQ
Style questions, answered straight.
What are the main interior design styles?
The ones people ask about most are Scandinavian, Japandi, minimalist, modern, contemporary, mid-century modern, industrial, farmhouse, rustic, coastal, boho, eclectic, transitional, art deco, glam and shabby chic. Each has its own palette, materials and shapes; this page shows 16 of them on the same room.
How many interior design styles are there?
There's no official count: styles blend and new ones appear every year. Most guides cover 15 to 20 main styles. Decoratly can apply 75+ styles to a photo of your room, including newer looks like Japandi, quiet luxury and dark academia.
How do I find my interior design style?
Save rooms you love and look for what they share, think about how you actually live, and take a short style quiz. Then try your top two styles on a photo of your own room, because light and proportions change how a style looks.
What is the difference between modern and contemporary design?
Modern is a specific look rooted in early to mid 20th-century design: clean lines, honest materials and function first. Contemporary means whatever is current, so it changes over time; today that's softer curves, mixed finishes and warm neutrals.
What is the difference between Scandinavian and Japandi?
Scandinavian is light and cozy: pale wood, white walls and soft textiles. Japandi adds Japanese restraint: lower furniture, darker accents, fewer objects and more natural texture. Japandi usually feels calmer and more minimal.
Can I mix interior design styles?
Yes, and most good homes do. Let one style lead, share two or three base colors between rooms, repeat a wood or metal, and keep floors consistent so different styles still feel like one home.
Can I see a style on my own room?
Yes. Upload a photo of your room to Decoratly and see it restyled in about 30 seconds, with your walls, windows and proportions kept. The first design is free in one of six free styles, with no signup.
