Finding your home style isn't as easy as you think it is. Many people just take on whatever style their parent's and friend's houses looked like as kids and don't even think twice about what they like or don't like about it.
There are pretty clear categories of home styles, ranging from rustic, country, victorian, contemporary, and craftsman, colonial, modern, and many more. Look around your neighborhood, explore other cities and countries. What do you love?
It's important to understand your favorite home style, it helps you plan and think about purchases, which saves money in the long run and reduces waste. It also is really helpful when you move in with someone and need to figure out how to balance and blend the styles that you each like without creating a hot mess.
Hennai Modern Home focuses on modern home style with a blend of mid-century modern and current modern designs and a touch of boho.
