Simple Scandi
You're all about fun! You love to experiment with bold geometric patterns and you can't resist a splash of cheery colour – whether that's a sunny yellow, a pretty pink or a coastal blue. You want furniture that's comfortable but practical, too, in simple shapes that won't date too quickly, but still show off your style credentials.

Modern Country
You don't have to 'live in a house, a very big house in the country' to lust after this look. So easy to live with, modern rustic style is all about Shaker-style furniture and classic prints – we're talking plaids, ticking stripes and neutral florals. Get this scheme right once, and you'll barely need to redecorating going forward. Though we would recommend you apply a fresh coat of paint to the walls and switch up your accessories once in a while.

Hotel Luxe
You love spa days and indulgent nights staying in the most upmarket hotels. If it doesn't have at least a 600 thread count, that sheet isn't making it onto your bed, and three pillows per head is a bare minimum. Kelly Hoppen is your style heroine, and you'd take layered neutrals over bold colours, every time.

You're not afraid of making a statement, whether its through a bold choice of wallpaper or dazzling metallic accessories. Luxury will nearly always win out over practicality – those mirrored surfaces are almost as high maintenance as you are!
