As someone who was clueless about interior design, this video was a revelation. It not only introduced me to different design styles but also helped me discover my own preferences. The clear explanations and visuals made it a fun and educational experience.
This is the first video that really explains all the different styles. Thanks Kristen for making such an awesome video and explaining each of the styles so well and to the point. I love how you even give examples of where to go get the furniture. I now know that my style is transitional.
I didn’t see my style in this video. Mine is Tribal Chic. I like incorporating lots of ethnic pieces that are unique and textured. Beaded accents, grass or woven baskets, textured pillows, fur throws, tribal rugs, handmade artifacts from Africa, South America and Islandic places. And lots of tropical plants. I recently added some rattan egg chairs to my living room also. They look so tropical and cool.
My style is a transition between modern and industrial. I love space, clean lines, not clutter and mainly white, black and grey with touches of metal and wood. Works for me..easy to clean always looks tidy.
I watched design videos for a long time and honestly that's the first video that beautifully explained what those styles are. Simple and straight to the point. Loved it!
I try to stay away from trends...They date quickly. I just try to develop my own style-I strive for an eclectic, curated over time home. I want my place to scream ‘me,’ not trend.
My favorite style is “inviting industrial” (I didn’t know it was a thing till I did some looking up). I love how it mixes a modern Scandinavian feel with a casual industrial grunge look. I find it so interesting, fun and such unique look that allows for a lot of creativity
That was my exact question, love Coastal! But this is the first video I’ve seen on this channel so I didn’t know if I missed that on another video. Maybe @Kristen McGowan will do another? 🙃 I’d also love to see Mediterranean, Glam, Art Deco & Asian Zen. This is a great explanation of these styles, thank you!
I love transitional style, that’s what I’m going for. I’m tempted to bring in some contemporary pieces. There are some really cool accent chairs that I like. I think the two styles could look good together.
I have been putting off renovating for over a year because I can't decide on a style. I have used an interior decorator, but still can't make any decisions because "it just doesn't feel right". As you can imagine, I have watched hours and hours of youtube videos about home improvement, etc. This is BY FAR the most useful video I have come across. Thank you Kristen!!
Kristen, you nailed this! So efficient and accurate! Thanks for taking time to do such a cohesive, clear job of presenting all these styles. Was exactly what I needed today.
You explained the different decorating styles better than any I’ve heard before. I finally know what style I prefer after listening to you explain each of them. Thank you!
I'm a big fan of mid century these days, although there are elements of other design styles I like. I'm all about clean lines and simple decor. Thanks for the design explanations. Have a great week ahead, everyone 😁
Definitely a farmhouse and French country mix of style for me. I know Kristen said they are complete opposites but that's what makes a home remodel interesting lol. Nice video Kristen!
The amount of visual examples you've included for each style is amazing. I enjoyed your take on summarizing the different design styles. ♥ A great addition and also complementary to all the other interior design style videos out there. Can you do a video with mixing different design styles like the Japandi (Japanese + Scandinavian) style?
This was such a needed video! Can you do a video on how to mix between the styles? I have an eclectic style. I like modern farmhouse with some boho and industrial accents.
Thank you! I’m eclectic and love bohemian style and part of how I create it is by using a few older French country pieces mixed with other pieces with cleaner lines(but still have nice French country friendly fabric like linen). But the things that tie everything together are: classic color palette (black, off white, brown- mostly from various wood) and loads of textures like linen, subtle velvet, textured wooden surfaces, high gloss finished wooden dining table with a matte dining bench & textured fabric dining bench, etc.
What i love is the country style thats easy to do and easy to find pieces even at ikea even the wooden table & chairs..and next is the boho style or the bohemian , a lot texture ,color which i love..fantastic collection..!
I definitely love modern farmhouse, with a touch of transitional, boho, and french country here and there. I hate "chippy paint", and adore lots of texture.
This is so helpful. My taste is a mix between industrial, farmhouse and modern. Just discovered your channel recently and have been binge watching your vids. You’ve made interior designing less intimidating and doable for spatially and design-challenged people like me. 😝 Can’t wait to start incorporating your suggestions in my new apt. 🙌🏽
Good explanation. We've lived in 2 places. Our current house, almost 20 years, still does not feel like home. I like different aspects of almost every style you've talked about. I get overwhelmed just thinking about how to style or decorate our home. it's bare, not much on the walls and no rugs!
So helpful!!! I always struggled to label my home decor style. I feel like I’m a mix of boho and mid- century modern 🤍 Love all your videos girl, keep it up xx
This video was a lot of fun. Like some other commenters, I would enjoy a video on mixing styles. I like Traditional, French Country, and Mid-Century. What a mash up! My house could work with any of them.
This was great thank you. Watching it, I was thinking we'll I'm not quite modern and not quite traditional I like in between and then BAM you hit me with the transitional. Good on ya
I so needed this video! Thank you so much for breaking down each style, giving examples not only in furniture pieces but in color schemes, and showing what it is and even contrasting with what it isn't. I've been struggling because I like so many different things, but I know now that my home is transitional and I'm ready to add some modern pieces to update the traditional pieces that I already own. Thanks, Kristen!
Our favs for YEARS has been Traditional & French Country! It best describes our personalities! We've been married for 54yrs & have picked out every piece of Furniture, rugs, carpet, wall paint & decor items, even dish & glassware TOGETHER! It helps to make a Happy & Peaceful Home Atmosphere! 🥰🥰
Thank you so much! I now know my design style in my home is definitely transitional! My home is old but I already had all modern items, so I started collecting some old as well and now it’s awesome I love my style lol
Once again you’re so well versed with this topic too. I really needed to understand all of these different styles so I LOVED this particular video. Thank you Kristen!. Keep them coming because you’re so close to reaching one million subscribers. Hang in there!
I have a mostly "mid-century, farmhouse, modern, JAPANDI, transitional, primitive, ECLECTIC" design style! hahaha I am surprised you didn't talk about or explain the "Eclectic" or "JAPANDI" design styles! hahaha Sigh.....I know, I know--I'm a MESS! But, I do love switching things up but using mostly what I JUST LOVE! Plants, light, airy, statement pieces. I am actually REALLY loving a Scandinavian/Farmhous-ey style that is down to earth and homey. I have to watch what I'm doing because I tend to get a bit cluttery and add too much of what I love! I NOW have so many "extra" design pieces that I can simply switch out things every few weeks/months as time and inclination permits! I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL, TOO! It is so refreshing!
I definitely have a mixture of boho/mid century/slight farmhouse styles. I layer in plants and macrame with mid century furniture items and black metal pieces. Thanks for making it really easy to differentiate them all!
This is something I've struggled with a lot. I personally love all black walls and very modern aesthetic, but mixed with the rustic/industrial style. I like monochrome, but also throw in the whole rainbow of color. I like minimalism, but everything still super cozy and slightly busy. Still not sure what it is, eclectic maybe?
Loved this video! I really thought my style was modern farmhouse, mid century modern or contemporary but actually I like to mix pieces so i guess I’m more of a Transitional Style Lol good to know! 🤗
Definitely love transitional. Didn't know it was called that. Thanks for all the great examples! I've been thinking last couple of days, that it's time to overhaul my living room, slowly, making it a bit more classy and less... Student house vibes :). Your content definitely gave me some inspiration, thanks!
HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!💗🤗 this was a very highly requested video, so I hope it helps!! Let me know below what YOUR design style is!
Happy Sunday Kristen! Watching it ❤️
I plan to do some sort of a log cabin type theme with real wood nice trees nice mountain painting backgrounds really nice scenery
Happy Sunday Kristen!!watching it always as soon as I get a chance!! Getting to hooked up to it!! Always learning something and loved it!!
My dream house is gonna be japandi... I love that style!!! 😍
@@thaniastonejohn1993 Holy cow I had no idea that was a style! I just looked it up and now I want my house styled like that 😍
What a perfect balance!
I think, I have the "absolutely everything is from ikea"-style
I have never visited or bought anything from Ikea
Lol 😂
😂😂
Just call it Scandinavian 😜
Same 😂
As someone who was clueless about interior design, this video was a revelation. It not only introduced me to different design styles but also helped me discover my own preferences. The clear explanations and visuals made it a fun and educational experience.
I love transitional style with some farmhouse elements
This is the first video that really explains all the different styles. Thanks Kristen for making such an awesome video and explaining each of the styles so well and to the point. I love how you even give examples of where to go get the furniture. I now know that my style is transitional.
There are tons of BS in that video. She has no clue :)
Thanks for the education. I realized I'm all over the place....Mid century modern Scandinavian boho. 😊
Those are my top 3 too. lol with a splash of rustic
Love that! You make it you. Mix and match and sometimes deliberately mismatch to make it interesting.
That’s exactly like my sister’s too! Mine is Traditional and French country 😁
I realized that my style is transitional. I like contemporary, but also, traditional. Thank you!
The scanadavian style is definitely my cup of tea ❤️
“Nordic life style... all inspired by Sweden, Denmark, Finland, island...” my Norwegian heart just cried
lmaooo I'm a swede and I noticed that too I love Norway
@@bex7402 Yep, same here! :D
Me too😕
Scandinavian
*Laughs in danish*

Oh this sounds beautiful !!!!
Do you have pics on Instagram? I would love to see 😍
Ooooh I have a dear friend that has a similar life style, we call it eclectic.
Sounds bohemian?
African/boho?
My style is a transition between modern and industrial. I love space, clean lines, not clutter and mainly white, black and grey with touches of metal and wood. Works for me..easy to clean always looks tidy.
I would love if you could make a video about mixing styles
Yep, I feel like I am two or three styles mixed together.
Yes I agree
I’m so glad others said this because I definitely mix!
@@StarchWithPlants same

I try to stay away from trends...They date quickly. I just try to develop my own style-I strive for an eclectic, curated over time home. I want my place to scream ‘me,’ not trend.
I agree. While watching this I thought to myself “so my style is a blend of 4 of these but not really but kinda”🤷🏻😂
💞💞💞💟💗 same here
Do what makes you happy! It should make you feel at home!
Same here. My home is my sanctuary. I prefer to bring "together" the things that represent me, myself and I.
I am eclectic style from all my travels.
My favorite style is “inviting industrial” (I didn’t know it was a thing till I did some looking up). I love how it mixes a modern Scandinavian feel with a casual industrial grunge look. I find it so interesting, fun and such unique look that allows for a lot of creativity
I didn't know that was thing until you mentioned it. Googled it and was like "that's my style!" I already have some of those pieces in my home now.
thank you for opening my eyes to this marvel ... i was blind before but now i'm woke af
What about California coastal? That’s my style...relaxed, easy breezy...neutrals and blue tones.
That was my exact question, love Coastal! But this is the first video I’ve seen on this channel so I didn’t know if I missed that on another video. Maybe @Kristen McGowan will do another? 🙃 I’d also love to see Mediterranean, Glam, Art Deco & Asian Zen. This is a great explanation of these styles, thank you!
Ralph Lauren’s got some beautiful linens for this style.
I love transitional style, that’s what I’m going for. I’m tempted to bring in some contemporary pieces. There are some really cool accent chairs that I like. I think the two styles could look good together.
I have "Nordic boho" style. Greetings from Finland!
Scandinavian. Simple, eco friendly and cozy.
I have been putting off renovating for over a year because I can't decide on a style. I have used an interior decorator, but still can't make any decisions because "it just doesn't feel right". As you can imagine, I have watched hours and hours of youtube videos about home improvement, etc. This is BY FAR the most useful video I have come across. Thank you Kristen!!
SO happy to hear that!👏🏼🥳💗
I think you missed Japandy style wich i love.
Kristen, you nailed this! So efficient and accurate! Thanks for taking time to do such a cohesive, clear job of presenting all these styles. Was exactly what I needed today.
Well said!
I watch a lot of these types of UA-cam channels. This review of the 10 design style is one of the best one's I have seen.
This was very helpful!! Thank you! I think I'm leaning toward the bohemian style.
You explained the different decorating styles better than any I’ve heard before. I finally know what style I prefer after listening to you explain each of them. Thank you!
Finally someone showing the different styles with visualization!! Thank you!
I'm a big fan of mid century these days, although there are elements of other design styles I like. I'm all about clean lines and simple decor. Thanks for the design explanations. Have a great week ahead, everyone 😁
Definitely a farmhouse and French country mix of style for me. I know Kristen said they are complete opposites but that's what makes a home remodel interesting lol. Nice video Kristen!
Hi Kristen I want to say you have talent and having amazing ideas and I am glad to be here
And happy Sunday
Thanks to this video, I now know the difference between modern and contemporary.
The amount of visual examples you've included for each style is amazing. I enjoyed your take on summarizing the different design styles. ♥ A great addition and also complementary to all the other interior design style videos out there. Can you do a video with mixing different design styles like the Japandi (Japanese + Scandinavian) style?
Just google "Sweden Hills" and you'll see what Japanese + Scandinavian looks like.
Yes, Japandi is gorgeous.
This was such a needed video! Can you do a video on how to mix between the styles? I have an eclectic style. I like modern farmhouse with some boho and industrial accents.
Yeah that’s actually what I’d want to learn about. I’d watch that.
Me too
Me too! Love it!
Exactly me too!
I think industrial goes hand in hand with farmhouse.
Im definitely a mash up of boho, mid century modern, Scandinavian, transitional, and industrial.
Thank you! I’m eclectic and love bohemian style and part of how I create it is by using a few older French country pieces mixed with other pieces with cleaner lines(but still have nice French country friendly fabric like linen). But the things that tie everything together are: classic color palette (black, off white, brown- mostly from various wood) and loads of textures like linen, subtle velvet, textured wooden surfaces, high gloss finished wooden dining table with a matte dining bench & textured fabric dining bench, etc.
So awesome! I seem to be transitional and farmhouse! lol Loved this vid! Thank you!
Wow, I really needed such a video ... the universe answered me through you.
This was exactly right- simplified, I would say I am a mixture of transitional and country farmhouse
they blend very well!
Minimalistic, neutral and "use what i have" is my go to styles. So i think this is a scandinavian and boho or a mix of those. Love your video! :)
Same here😊
Can't thank you enough for this educational video that basically sets a base to ALL home decor videos ever posted on UA-cam
Your ideas are very helpful. You explain everything briefly and perfectly. Thanks dear, sis😘
I’m a little boho modern farmhouse chic. I love switching it up with ever evolving accessories!
Wow, I always thought my house was traditional, but now I see it’s more transitional. Thank you for that thorough explanation! Love your videos ❤️
Transitional, minimalistic and contemporary
I’m into Modern-Scandi styles. But, I’m loving some contemporary elements like archways etc.
What i love is the country style thats easy to do and easy to find pieces even at ikea even the wooden table & chairs..and next is the boho style or the bohemian , a lot texture ,color which i love..fantastic collection..!
I’d say mine is Scandi-Boho with a few mid-century pieces thrown in 😄 loved this video 💗
I love your vibe above every other designers on youtube I’ve watched
I think I am “ Target” style. Lol
😄😄😄😄😄
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm in between French Country and Traditional style! Thank You Kristen!
I definitely love modern farmhouse, with a touch of transitional, boho, and french country here and there. I hate "chippy paint", and adore lots of texture.
I call my own style Eclectic Traditional Paris Apartment...a cozy place filled with items that bring me joy...I always enjoy your videos❣
Could you show rooms with a variety of styles and talk about what aspect of the decor is what style? I need help combining styles.
Love it !!! I am definitely the MODERN type, Very sophisticated and elegant !!

I think I love the bohemian and industrial and contemporary ♥️♥️
I used to decorate in the traditional style, but now I'm more modern farm house.
Definitely modern. Thanks for clarifying. I enjoyed the video.
This was great thank you. Watching it, I was thinking we'll I'm not quite modern and not quite traditional I like in between and then BAM you hit me with the transitional. Good on ya
So comprehensive!! Thank you so much .I always struggle with knowing my style even in fashion. Love your channel ! Thank you ❤
This was so so so helpful! I couldn't describe my style but it definitely "Transitional"! Thank you so much!
Transitional for sure but also love french country. An absolute fundamental video, tks!
Great video! I would love a part 2 explaining cottage, shabby chic, and coastal❤️
totally agree....
And eclectic too.
Traditional and modern is what I like to mix.

Happy sunday all
Would love to know more about the transitional style! ❤️
I am a combo of Traditional and little Boho. I love the Eclectic look.
Hi Kristen, found out I am a Transitional style. Thank you! ❤️
i like a mix of scandi n mid century, neutral palettes, furnitures with slant legs, lots of vases, pottery and artwork.

I can relate to that aswell. It’s just your style. How about that
let's call it "you can't put me in a box" style, shall we?
Thank you for the inspiration on these different design styles. I did not realize how bohemian my style was until your video
🌎💙💚🤎♥
Loved this video! I really thought my style was modern farmhouse, mid century modern or contemporary but actually I like to mix pieces so i guess I’m more of a Transitional Style Lol good to know! 🤗
Traditional is most definitely appealing to me
When you realize your home is literally a mix of all 10 styles 😐. I still don’t know what my favourite is.
Finally some helpful tips on style a few videos I have seen have been discouraging people from buying certain items
Definitely love transitional. Didn't know it was called that. Thanks for all the great examples! I've been thinking last couple of days, that it's time to overhaul my living room, slowly, making it a bit more classy and less... Student house vibes :). Your content definitely gave me some inspiration, thanks!
Traditional style designs for the spring to flings back into freshness . thanks for the 2021 top tips.
Can you do a video dedicated solely to transitional style Decor that’s apartment friendly
So helpful! Transitional is def. what resonates most with me!
This video is exactly what I was looking for. THANK YOU SO MUCH ❤️❤️❤️
I love this video!! For us it is the transitional style mixed with contemporary style, I like some change
😍
I’m definitely more modern. Thank you for explaining everything x
I think my style is boho, scandi, transitional. Is that a thing?! 🤪
Tbh sounds like my kind of place
I am totally ECLECTIC! I love mixing the styles…
Watching your videos helped me style my home in such a way that everyone that comes in there finds it amazing!
Keep up the good work👍👍
As a Norwegian I was a bit insulted when you mentioned Finland and Iceland, that are Nordic, but not Norway, which is actually a part of Scandinavia
