How to Make Decisions on Your Home Renovation That You’ll Still Love in 10 Years
Hi, I'm Elise — I'm an interior designer, and I have a knack for helping people tap into their personal style.
So many people tell me that when they’re renovating, they feel stressed about the expensive decisions they’re making. They worry they won’t like their choices in five or ten years’ time. I’ve got a way to help you feel confident in your own style decisions.
Step 1: Look Back at What You’ve Always Loved
To start, think about all the purchases you’ve ever made — anything you’ve kept and still love over the years.
That pair of shorts you’ve held onto, even though they don’t fit anymore.
The vase you inherited from your grandmother that you adore, even if it’s not “in fashion.”
The brands you return to, the candles you buy again and again, the boxes you keep, your favorite purse, passport holder, or luggage.
All these things are clues to your personal style. If you’ve loved something for 10 years or more, it’s worth paying attention to.
Step 2: Find the Common Threads
Now, look closely at those items.
What do they have in common? Are they shiny or matte? What’s the texture like? What colors or patterns do you notice?
Think about all those small details. When you do, you’ll start to see patterns in the things you’re drawn to — even if you didn’t realize it before.
Step 3: Define Your Personal Style Brand
From there, you can start to build your own personal “style brand book.” You don’t have to make an actual book — just become more aware of your consistent preferences.
The more you tune in to your true style, the more confident you’ll feel when making design decisions.
Step 4: Apply It in Real Life
For example, imagine someone loves a certain shirt, a pair of earrings, a set of vintage crockery they inherited, and a particular brand of candles and skincare — and they always keep the packaging.
That tells me their style could be timeless, elegant, and detail-oriented.
Another person might consistently buy the same brands of sneakers and casual wear — that points to a relaxed, sporty aesthetic.
You might think you don’t have a “style,” but you do. Everyone has patterns in the things they love. Recognizing them is the first step.
Step 5: Keep Building Confidence in Your Taste
So, what are the things in your life that you’ve always gone back to?
Comment down below or send me some photos, and I’ll help you identify your personal style.
You do have one — and the more you tune into it, the easier your design and renovation decisions will be.
