What's your design style?

SUPER-COOL COUNTRY
Minimalism and country cottage-style are, for many people, anathema, though not to you. And rightly so: some minimalist architects' most successful houses are in the country. Even if your home looks quite conventional from the outside, inside it's a shrine to 'purist cool': everything, from the materials and colours to the furniture and gadgetry - is spot on. It's not an easy look to live with, nor is it cheap to get right - but it seems to suit you!

Living Room
Your living room is free from clutter and fuss. In the minimalist living room, what's been left out is as important as what's been included. You've fallen in love with a style of almost Zen clarity, purity and orderliness that for most people (and most lifestyles) involves too many sacrifices, though not for you. Carefully chosen items of furniture orchestrate the space, for this is a symphony of simplicity and restraint. Symmetry and subtle repetition of what few accessories you allow in the living room continue the minimalist theme. Dark colours work well if you use the room mainly during the evenings and at night, while glamorous prints and patterns are fun and stylish. Whether you're chilling out, socialising or surfing the net, your living room's a place that reflects the way you live your life.

Bedroom
Yours is a 'modern master' bedroom. Sleep is fundamentally important to our well being. Clean, fresh air can truly aid sleep, but so, too, does a well-made bed and the best mattress you can afford. Touch is an important issue in the bedroom, from crisp, linen sheets to wool or even sheepskin underfoot. You make quite a statement with clean, strong lines in your bedroom, using rich, chocolate browns to create a warm and cosy escape from the rest of the world.

Dining Room
You're a bonafide alpha-male entertainer. At home, cool, sleek, masculine lines and colours give your dining area that slick, 'stealth wealth' feel. You can avoid it all becoming too clinical through careful use of colour and texture. Avoid harsh primary colours and opt instead for linen napkins in subtle, muted colours, say, or dine by candlelight to add a touch of glamour to evening meals. When it comes to entertaining, convenience is paramount.

Home Office
You have a place for everything and everything has its place. These days, almost all of us have a home office: a desk and a chair in one corner of the living room with adjustable task lighting and adequate filing is all it takes (and might be all the space you can afford). The modernist adage that form should follow function is nowhere better demonstrated than in the home office: keep things simple and add your own sense of style by using a splash of colour or a single, well-chosen decorative piece.

Conclusion
You've achieved a rare sense of clarity and simplicity in your home that's 'cool' without ever being cold.

My result was "masculine-style"... ha ha... hmmm. I think I'll just adapt your results as mine too. Or maybe I'll just take it again.

Cool test though! That's awesome!
