How do you feel about your home décor? If you’re tired of it, and know it needs some updating, but are afraid to act, you’re not alone. Fear of change is the number one reason people live in spaces they don’t really like. 

A good place to start is by deciding which look you like best. Among the most popular: Traditional, Contemporary, Mission, French Country, Asian and Retro. 

Below is an explanation of the different styles:

•    Traditional décor is known for its balanced symmetry, classic lines and darker woods combined with subdued colors and tones.
•    Contemporary offers subtle sophistication with its simplicity, texture, clean lines and contrasting colors.
•    Mission adds timeless and classic appeal with its simple, clean lines, dark stained oak and earthy colors.
•    French Country features distressed wood, ceramic accessories and colors you’d find in nature, like sunny yellow, fiery red and bright grass green.
•    Asian features neutral backgrounds, layered wood tones and intricately detailed accessories.
•    Retro features furniture and décor reminiscent of things past.
