FUNKY MODERN
Your modern and lively sense of style is perfect for today's easy living, and just about suits any budget. Perhaps some of your favourite things were picked up at a car boot sale, in a market while on holiday, or handed down through the family. At the same time, you might have saved, or be saving, for the perfect Eames chair or Mies sofa, a classic that never goes out of style and something you will take with you from one home to the next.
Living Room
You have a comfortably contemporary living room. The danger with the 'modern look' is that it too easily falls into the realm of the bland and insipid; 'easy' gets confused with 'careless' and the result is just downright dull! Perhaps of all the rooms in our homes, the living room can be the one that most expresses your sense of style and your interests. Think, too, about how and when you will most use the room. For example, do you want it light and airy or warm and cosy? Against quite an anonymous backdrop you can show off some alluring accessories to great effect that are girly yet grown-up and winningly winsome. Neutral wall colours provide a calm, easy background, while bold prints add character and personality. Make comfort the priority in your living room: it's where you naturally go to watch TV, relax and de-stress.
Bedroom
Yours is a 'modern master' bedroom. Sleep is fundamentally important to our well being. In busy towns and cities, noise can often hamper a good night's sleep. Soft furnishings really do absorb sound, and touch is such an important sense 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 a palette of beautifully muted colours to create the perfect retreat from daily stresses and strains.
Dining Room
You're a clean slate waiting for a dash of spice. Different meals and types of food lend themselves to different styles of dining. Think about how you live your life and even the sorts of places where you like to eat out, and use these to create a dining area that suits your needs and reflects your personality. When it comes to entertaining, you're a real foodie who loves eating out in the best restaurants.
Home Office
You draw inspiration from unlikely people and places. 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). Keep things simple when it comes to the actual desk/work area: too many visual distractions can clutter the mind just as nick-knacks clutter a desk.
Conclusion
Fresh, fun and easy to live with, your home is perfect for how you live your life.
BOY RACER
You're one of the guys, and that's how you like your home to be, too: cool and masculine (if a little rough around the edges). Although people can - and do - spend a fortune getting the bachelor pad look just right, it can be quite easily achieved on a modest budget.
Living Room
Playboy, gent, aesthete - your living room is a shrine to bachelorism. The masculine look finds its apogee in the bachelor pad, and at the heart of every bachelor pad is the living space, with its sharp lines and a hedonistic approach to life that's all about having fun and very little to do with mundane chores. This is the lifestyle of a Gatsby or a 007, and the fact that both are fictional characters says it all: this look is about illusion and seduction and a dash of hustler chutzpah. This is a look that can't take clutter: modern accessories blend in well, but do make sure they don't blend in too well, dulling the room's sharp lines and turning the edgy into the anodyne. Dark colours work well if you use the room mainly during the evenings and at night, while neutral textiles and soft furnishings never lose their style. Having worked wonders in the kitchen, you deserve a bit of quality time in the living room where you can relax and unwind.
Bedroom
It's a man's world in the master bedroom. Sleep is fundamentally important to our well being. In busy towns and cities, noise can often hamper a good night's sleep. Soft furnishings really do absorb sound, and touch is such an important sense in the bedroom, from crisp, linen sheets to wool or even sheepskin underfoot. You have quite a masculine - some might say hard - style in your bedroom, using personal touches and colours and textures that evoke happy memories to create a sense of place.
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, you're incredibly sociable if frequently pushed for time.
Home Office
A home office need not be dull and grey. 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). Even if your desk is quite utilitarian, you can use colour and personal effects such as a family photograph to make it more 'you'.
Conclusion
Your playboy-oriented pad may be ever so slightly tongue-in-cheek - fun and not remotely serious.
