Discover Your Own Home Decorating Style

         What is Your Home Decorating Style?

Do you know? Most people don't. Our workshops will help you define your style so you will never make another decor mistake.

Most are unclear what their home decorating style is, how to describe it, much less implement it.

You actually already have a decorating style.... It is based on your tastes. Your taste is what you have been exposed to, your life experiences, it is what you like. These are the things you are intuitively attracted to and places where you feel comfortable.

You probably have no problem responding to things you like when shopping and even dressing. You are feeling and showing your distinct taste and style as you walk through a shop, art fair, clothing or home store, into a restaurant, yard sale or flea market.

No one has to tell you what you like and don't like. You just know.

You are born with your intuitive taste and style. It is not learned. You can develop your taste by being aware of your feelings and what attracts your eye.
Your taste is only influenced by life's experiences and exposures from environment, travel, architecture, what you read, furniture design, shapes and textures, color… fabrics……

There are definite "I like it" in your taste and as important the "Not for me" in your taste.

You can learn to identify and understand your taste.   With that knowledge you will build and develop your decorating style based on your taste. You already have it. Maybe you just haven't identified it yet.

Once you can easily identify your taste you will understand your style from balance, color, arrangement, and form. You will be so confident in your own taste and style you won't question it.

Would you like to have the confidence to not feel compelled to conform to anyone else's taste or style? Would you like to shun the fads and fashion? Do you want to be confident of what you like?

When you dress each day you are already exercising your creativity in your taste. The way you already entertain, work and decorate now reveals your taste. You already know what you love, what inspires you and what makes you feel good.

Maybe you've never thought about it. How would you like to have the tools to help you zoom in and identify what you like?

Play an easy game. Start identifying your taste by consciously noticing what you instinctively like and don't like as you walk through a store, office, gallery, restaurant, or model homes. Notice. Go with your gut feel. That's your taste. Don't second guess.

Start feeling your space and environment wherever you are. Even when you go to a restaurant or someone else's home take notice of how you feel when you are there.

Are you comfortable or relaxed? Are you nervous or do you feel hurried? Could you stay awhile? Do you just want to get out of there? Look to see if you can identify why.

A few exercises will help you focus in on your taste. How would you like to just know what you like is right and that you are building your very own style and can decorate your way?

Following are several workshops to help you express your taste and listen to your intuition. Your discovery of attitude and reactions may surprise you. This new awareness of feelings will be very useful when decorating your way.

After you have done In Out Decor's Home Decorating Taste/Style Workshops you will understand why you may feel the way you do in different spaces.

You will see how your style is created from your taste. To get the best success from our Home Decorating Taste/Style Workshops you must be open minded, honest, completely free of outside influences. Can you give yourself permission to be a child again? Go with your gut and say what you think. You don't have to be polite, proper, just raw honesty from your being.

You are working with your feelings. Get out of your head. Can you let your instincts be free? This exercise is based on what you honestly like and don't like. No restraints!

This workshop is key to developing and establishing your decorating style!

The Workshop has four parts. The first one is to get you warmed up. Get you out of your head and go to your instincts, your gut, your emotions.

The second part of the workshop is for you to discover what you like. We will call it the "I like it" part.

The third part is doing the same exercises as the second but to discover what you don't like. This step in your discovery is just as important as what you like, maybe more important. Knowing what you really don't like and why will save you time, money and decorating mistakes. We will call this part "Not for me."

Remember you still have the same opinions you had as a child. Take that innocence and freedom back. Let all inhibitions go. You were free to express your own feelings and opinions. These workshops are about you and what you like, not expectations of others.

This is your workshop. This is your decorating style.
