Which home style are you? quiz

When you’re looking for a place to call your own, it's easy to feel overwhelmed by the number of different home styles out there. Whether you’re scrolling social feeds, flipping through magazines, or just walking your favorite neighborhood, there’s a lot to choose from. And some experts even believe that inspirational sites like Pinterest can make it more difficult to decode your true style. 

So, in this blog, we’ll ask one simple question to help you ditch the decision fatigue and discover a home style that feels truly authentic to your personality. Ready? Let’s go! 

According to psychologists, there's a direct link between personality and home style. And while it’s common to get caught up in details like square footage, more often than not homebuyers end up going with their gut. There’s a reason people say, “When you find it, you’ll just know.” 

When your home reflects your personality, you can more easily create a space that feels comfortable, inspiring, and uniquely you. To find your ideal home style, ponder the question above. Once you have your answer, match it to one of the seven styles listed below!

If you chose ambitious, you're an Airy Open Concept! 

For many, owning a home is one of life’s ultimate ambitions—and open concept floor plans can make a house seem bigger and more spacious, giving you a home that feels as expansive as your aspirations. Originally championed by visionary architect Frank Lloyd Wright, open concept homes have remained popular through the decades thanks to their bright, airy aesthetic and ease of use.

If you chose free-spirited, you’re a Cozy Cottage! 

At heart, you’re a romantic who would rather curl up with a good book than go out clubbing. Commonly associated with the English countryside and celebrated for their unique architectural style, cottage-style homes typically have low-pitched gable roofs and small covered porches perfect for enjoying a warm summer’s day. Prioritizing comfort and charm, they feel cozier than other home styles, with contemporary cottage designs boasting highly functional layouts and delightful details.

If you chose optimistic, you’re an Eco Small-Footprint! 

You’re a caring person who believes that everything has a place, and you want a home that supports your eco-friendly lifestyle. Small-footprint homes not only reduce environmental impact, because they occupy less space, they also reduce energy consumption, lowering the home’s overall carbon footprint. And the thoughtful, compact designs of small-footprint homes mean that every inch of space is maximized, making them both practical and beautiful.

If you chose outdoorsy, you’re a Pacific Northwest Modern! 

You don’t mind the rain, because you know it’s the reason everything is so green. In a nod to the natural environment of the PNW, Pacific Northwest Modern design blends industrial details, like high ceilings and exposed beams, with natural materials, like wood or brick, to create a home that feels airy and welcoming. Typically described as a mix of mid-century modern design and Japanese architecture, these homes reflect the rugged beauty of the PNW while boasting all the modern conveniences a homeowner could want.

If you chose quirky, you’re a Fabulous Flex! 

Your interests and hobbies evolve frequently, so you need a home that can keep up. Flex spaces, a newer trend in homebuilding, are flexible rooms or areas in a home that can be utilized in different ways throughout your life there. Whether you want a guest bedroom, a game room, a home gym, a nursery, a workspace, a library, a movie theater… The only limit is your imagination!

If you chose sociable, you’re a Classic Attached! 

You’re a people person who would much rather hang out with friends & family than hole up alone. Attached homes are especially popular with first-time homebuyers and single buyers who want the comfort that comes from having other people close by, creating an instant feeling of camaraderie and community. And, since they tend to have smaller yards or patios, they’re perfect for social butterflies who don’t want to spend their weekends weeding.
