I dream of an apartment

GIRL NEXT DOOR

Your home is quintessentially feminine: pretty and fun with the occasional foray into frou-fou (and who cares if the odd kill-joy says it's silly?). Light, bright colour, layered pattern and texture all help to add variety and character. But above all, your home is a charming extension of your personality, with loving attention lavished on every detail.

Living Room

Your living room is a welcoming haven of grace and fine taste. If it was good enough for the Ancient Greeks and good enough for Georgian England, it's good enough for you! In interior design, the classic look is predicated on the ideals by balance, proportion and moderation. It is, to many, intrinsically pleasing to the eye, which is no doubt why it remains an enduringly popular look. In the living room, it's a style that errs towards formality. Less formal, vernacular accessories work surprisingly well, just as long as they don't tip over into the folksy. Neutral wall colours provide a calm, easy background, while floral prints and textiles are pretty and perennially appealing. There are few things more luxurious than a sneaky afternoon nap, dozing off in your favourite spot in the living room.

Bedroom

Your bedroom benefits from a lovely feminine touch. 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 like to surround yourself with pretty frills and flounces in your bedroom, using cool pastel blues and greens to create a fresh but restful sense of calm.

Dining Room

You're a home-lover, bringing a light, feminine touch to mealtimes. At home, you bring a particular sensibility to your dining space: everything is spot on, without being pretentious, unwelcoming or fussy. You're a home-maker par excellence, and mealtimes are the perfect occasion for bringing everyone together, or just treating yourself. If you like pattern, especially floral designs, be careful not to overdo it: there's a fine line between beguiling feminine charms and gilding the lily. When it comes to entertaining, you're incredibly sociable if frequently pushed for time.

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. 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

Your home combines the best of old and new, rural and metropolitan, to prove you really can have it all!
