Modern, olde worlde, traditional. What's yours? Do you like beams everywhere or the archetypal chocolate box country cottage look?
Me? Everytime it has to be modern. Can't be doing with this olde stuff
Range and Aga cookers do nowt for me.

I'm a traditional/olde worlde type of person. I also tick my family off as well because I love rooms crammed full of stuff whereas my sister is very minimalist (having said that I hate hate hate cleaning it all)
I like large n spacious
I love open plan and modern convenience
But i like traditional and sturdy
So ... i kinda lean toward Edwardian
I guess I am olde world too...... I don't like too much clutter.... but I do love antique furniture.... and would love to live in an old cottage.....

I never went 'overboard with ornaments and stuff but I am trying to go minimalist, I've packed stuff away and got rid of a load of stuff too

I don't mind open plan but the kitchen has to be closed off....smells and all that

I should clarify - apart from lots and lots of penguins, it's furniture I cram into rooms not ornaments I don't think I could do minimalist

Oh I could! If I had the money I'd get rid of everything in here and go smaller, starting with the 3 seater settee and chair
I like both...depending on the style of house If it's Victorian or Edwardian I like the features. but modern builds I love large rooms and open plan kitchens/diners. I'm not keen on beams and low ceilings, I'd be claustrophobic
Minimalist looks so uncomfortable and clinical
Gimme sumptous, large rooms - high ceilings - massive kitchen/diner
Yeah, I'd like a huge kitchen/diner but still has to be closed off
My whole house is painted Antique White.Furniture is Oak.I have open plan kitchen/Diner.I like the minamilist look .
Prefer modern and open plan, but can appreciate more traditional places as well!
I suppose what I'm saying is.......I love space.......there are very few plugholes in here where I don't have to move something before I can use one
The day will come though
I guess I am olde world too...... I don't like too much clutter.... but I do love antique furniture.... and would love to live in an old cottage.....
Ditto.
Mix of both. Very old house with lots of features - beams, inglenook fireplaces, flagstones etc but I've mixed it with modern/funky rads, smooth clean lines and no clutter.
Sounds dreadful, probably is but it suits me and mine.
As I type this I know that I'm really much more urban than country cottage.
Obviously I bought the wrong house

Cottages........beams...........NO!
I guess that's what makes us all different though
If I had to put a name to my style id say it was 'homely' I like things to look comfortable and usable. When I buy stuff there is always the "how will it age" thought in the back of my mind. I like light colours and clean open spaces. I don't have any 'ornaments'. Its quite simple and clean, I only have a few candles and photo frames on the side, and always (well mostly always) fresh flowers. Someone pointed out to me once that there are a lot of 'words' around my house and they are right on the tray it says "tray" in the hall it says "home" etc And I like fabric, things with nice fabric.
If I won the lottery i think I would like to live in an ultra modern minimalist house. But id never ever try to recreate anything like that unless i was a millionaire because doing on a budget doesn't work for me, Ikea, Argos flat packed... NO.

^^^^ That's aspirational.
I live in a 30 year old, bog standard house, and my style is more traditional than modern.
If you live with a short(ish) bloke they quite like beams.
Makes them feel tall

I think it's all in the way it's put together, if someone knows what they're doing I think it could work (depending on the furniture you picked obviously)

LOL! Get me! I live in a (I think) 1930's semi. two up, two down but I'd love to have more space and there's only me in it!
