what are these styles? alternative home decor styles explained

/ D.I.Y. projects+ Home Decor

Does your home have a particular decor style? We are currently in our ‘trying to desperately keep our home clean’ phase. On a serious note, we bought our first home in July 2022, and thankfully, the changes we need to make to the house are mostly superficial. But decorating is… it’s a lot. Since being married, my husband and I have lived in places where either we were unable to…

Do you know what your home decor preferences are? I’ve created a free seven day workbook that will help you just that!
