Your interior design style is... Modern Farmhouse
Image Source
If you've seen even one episode of Fixer Upper, you've probably seen modern farmhouse in action. This style has taken the western world by storm in recent years, and looks like it's around to stay. Unlike true farmhouse decor, Modern Farmhouse is not typically frilly or rough, but more streamlined while maintaining its coziness. Think shiplap, neutral interiors with pops of medium and dark blues, greens and grays, black metal light fixtures, and homespun fabrics like chunky knit throws. And to really hit the farmhouse nail on the head, incorporate 'found' objects and art that looks like it could have come from an actual farm or general store.

Your interior design style is... Maximalism
Image Source
You guessed it - this is the polar opposite of minimalism. And while it doesn't necessarily tout the gospel of 'more is better' in life, it certainly does as far as design goes. An extremely personal style, Maximalism is an excellent way to express yourself if you want your decor to reflect YOU more than anything else. Think bold mismatched patterns, tons of wallpaper, curated gallery walls, and wall-to-wall interest. No space should go untouched or plain. Bigger, brighter, and busier is the key. Objects and art should have the look of something that has been collected over time by its owner rather than looking recently purchased or shiny and brand new.

7.
Your interior design style is... Industrial
Image Source
A remnant of the Industrial Revolution at the turn of the 20th century, Industrial style came back on the scene in the early 2000s and is known for utilitarian pieces, exposed brick, concrete and ductwork. Open floorplans are key, and high ceilings are desirable. Think dark and lived-in style, rough textures, streamlined leather furniture, warm metals like brass and iron, and a mix of modern shapes and antiques. As for accessories, if it looks like it came out of an old factory, you're on the right track. Add raw wood beams, steel, and concrete, and you've got a perfect mix.

Your interior design style is... Modern
Image Source
Yep, this is actually a distinct design style, not just a synonym for contemporary. A reaction to the decadent Art Deco movement, Modern design was all about ruthless simplicity meant to inspire a calm and serene state of mind. Think concrete, right angles, white walls, and small pops of primary colors. Hard, cold, wipeable textures like leather, plastic, polished chrome, and mixed leather and metal furniture. Asymmetry is your friend, as are streamlined silhouettes, but be sure to avoid superfluous elements and current trends to keep this look pure and clean.
