What's your style? For people who have their own place, how've you decorated? For everyone else, what's your ideal place gonna look like?

Our lounge and dining room (which are seperated by the chimney breast) have a deep chocolate colour on the same wall which really brings the two rooms together... it also goes really well with our gorgeous corner sofa...

In our bedroom we have a deep purple/pink colour by our bed... which frames our 6ft by 7ft leather padded waterbed perfectly.
In the flat we sold to move here the focus wall in the lounge was a gorgeous purple - it was like squashed ribena on the wall!!!
Apart from that we like things cosy and comfortable but modern and different...
Ooh, I tell a lie, all my crimbo beads are still up on the lights from xmas2005.
My room is white but I've hung sari fabric from the tops of the walls so it's dark blue/dark red and purple, and then one wall is mostly window. I've hung lamps behind the fabric so the light is warm and coloured. I have a huge collage of maps marking my travel routes on one wall, and then the others are covered in my poems/poems I love, photos, newspaper cuttings, quotes and postcards, some of my sketches (half are still in progress) and cinema/theatre/activity tickets from the past year.
I like a bit of clutter so long as it's organised - I have lots of woven boxes of different shapes and sizes which are overflowing with fabric and clothes and crap, but they're kinda organised, and I have lots of piles of books everywhere but organised into sections as much as possible.
I like places with character and stories; minimalist places are so soulless, I'd be worried I'd disappear if I spent too much time there....
First photo is my bedroom. I live at home and chose the decoration myself but this is the style I would like my house
Second photo is one of the living rooms.
Most of the furniture in the house is from Laura Ashley
I wouldn't have any beige/browns or earthy tones becuase I hate them. I would like black and hot pink or hot red or bright blue and lots of magnolia lol.
As for my kitchen.. It would be all stainless steel. My bathroom would have a seperate bath and shower cubicle and lots of tiny blue/green tiles.
I just like modern stuff!! plasma tv screens on the wall.. latest sound system..
BUT I would want my apartment to have the original features so ideally it would be in a converted warehouse with some brick wall or a column or something interesting.. and big big windows. i like natural light!
yeh! I think its because I've grown up in a victorian house with high ceilings and nice big windows and I have an original fireplace in my bedroom
At the moment our flat looks like we threw a rager of a party and then a tornado hit, so you aren't getting to see the "living" parts :razz: There is the girls' room/nursery and our bedroom. Also the kitchen when we first moved in (hideous) and after I painted up the cabinets (ever-so-slightly-less hideous). Nothing particularly exciting I'm afraid!
I know! The cots were a really good deal, I canNOT believe they would've been chucked out. They still had the stickers on them and everything. Well, waste not want not!
