These are two projects I did in my interior design business. One was a client who wanted his home to look like he was a world traveler and collector. (I sourced all the stuff he brought only his clothes) the other is a world traveller who wanted a warm clean place to relax.

Love the warm contemporary looks but that is definitely a preferred style for my personal taste.

Less is good, but I do love to show things I collect from my travels. Just not too much!

less is better for me. Too much to look at in time gets me feeling a little overwhelmed. I really like warm contemporary.

Less is more! Just gave away a bunch of stuff to a family who was burnt out of their home.

I don't care for any of them. Too modern and cold looking.

My personal style tends to be contemporary with less clutter. I love working on projects for clients that want many different looks, it makes things more fun for me than having a particular look that I keep repeating. The pictures below are a client that wanted Art Deco so that is what I gave them.

Less, most definitely. Too much "stuff" puts my brain on overload.

These room reflect a strong theory and thought process. I suspect this is in a metro building and has high expectations from its owner.

My styles vary. I like a room to looks lived in, but not cluttered. I like warm tones over cool and I would say my overall style is eclectic. I mix old and new. The eclectic room seems a bit cluttered and the warm contemporary seems a little cold to me.

Warm contemporary appeals to me. Some people decorate too much, they really overdo the patterns which make my eyes hurt...

I definitely like more is better. Lots of pieces with great history behind them.It becomes very inviting. I don't like stacks of magazines or dirt, filth, and such. But books stacked on a table or on a shelf, knick-knacks on them. Live plants, here and there; small collections here and there. People start asking questions, and go from there, never a moment of silence. I like to mix traditional, contemporary, I am very eclectic. But... I decorate for me.. no one else. I love to display items, why hide them. My friends know I'll keep special items out all year and enjoy them. Certain stores will call me and say "I have and Aleta item, would you like to come look at it?". I think that is so cool.

Less is more! There are those who experience life and those who want to surround themselves w/it. I don't have to have a bunch of stuff for memories they lie within my soul and heart! Nice job on both, but the less is Exquisite, I'd love to sit at your knee and LEARN!

great comment about different ppl's style, you give them what they want, not what you want, reflecting that you are a true artist in all aspects, dislike a designer that you obviously know that this is their work because it so repeatative, doesn't put you into a box, stifle or limit the possibilities

I like more to feel comfortable and homey. the clean sterile look reminds me of a cold place such as a hospital. Like warm and inviting, your home welcomes you!!

Each has it's own distinct style. I love the great textures and unique elements that are great surprises in each.

I like more. I don't like to see everything brand new. My home is filled with antiques from my grandmother, from items I bought at antique shops, flea markets, consignment shops. I think it looks more interesting and looks like my home evolved over a period of time rather than slapped all together at one time.

Definitely a world traveler, more is interesting, more conversation!

Sheila ~~ I agree with you. Treasures from around-the-world travels have history and are filled with personal sentiment. Great reminders of past trips, past memories and marvelous conversation pieces ~ !

I am somewhere in between. I really love the "New Tra ditional" look.

My taste is less. Too much more looks like clutter to me, but that's just me. Whatever floats your boat and makes you happy is the way to go.

I love the warm contemporay because it is an elegant clean look. I prefer to spend my time outdoors; not cleaning tons of treasures/history. I don't have a maid although that is a nice thought.

I don't have a contemporary or modern bone in my body. I think style is more interesting when there are layers to a room with a story to tell. My home is decorated with items on travels, flea markets, antique auctions, consignment shops, and inherited antiques. I think a home is more interesting when you look around a room and see items that make you ask "wow, that is so cool, what is the story behind that".

Why would anyone decorate or plan a room they will live in to suit anyone but the occupant? That is like eating extra dessert thinking that it will make the person who made it fat!!! EXPRESS YOURSELF!!!
