If you like clean, soft lines and neutral colors, contemporary style is likely yours. Spaces are easy, simple, spacious, usually with a hint or pop of color versus full blown detail. Woods can range from dark to light, but always within the same clean, soft vibe. Lighting is usually used to make a statement, while texture and detail is generally limited to accessories, like pillows and throws. To get the look: Keep it simple. Look for furniture with soft lines, rounded edges, limited details. Keep the palette neutral. Work in color in accessories or small doses

Your home style is as personal and unique to you as anything else. It's key to creating your ultimate space. Here's a quick guide to a few of the most popular home style types to help you find yours

True traditional style is rooted in an 18th century vibe but today it can mean a space with rich fabrics, floral prints and relatively ornate furniture -- carvings, trim, etc. but not necessarily have the 18th century style. Color usually tends to forest green, peach, brass, tan and other tones within the same range. Spaces generally have a soft, cozy feel.

If you meshed traditional style with contemporary, you'd have what's known as transitional. It's a bit of a mix of old and new, current and classic, clean and complex -- but unlike true classic or contemporary it doesn't commit to any one element alone. It's notoriously common for active, busy lifestyles as its generally simple, yet comfortable. To get the look, mix the components mentioned above, keeping a relatively neutral palette and minimalist accessories. Photo: Tyid.tv

Pieces tend to be a mixed and matched but have soft and gracelful lines, distressed or weathered finishes, texture and pretty colors. Wicker, baskets, metals, and flowers are common.

Eclectic home style is a bit of everythig goes. It brings together multiple periods and styles of decor into a single space for a quirky, often funky sort of look that is all its own.

Virtually anything can work together -- in fact, it's the mix of variety that gives the look its charm.
