Do you keep it clean and simple in your apartment or cozy with lots of decorative stuff? Your furniture style says a lot about your personality.
Hardly anything reflects our personality as strongly as our four walls. Because this is where we – ideally – feel most comfortable and can be fully ourselves. Thus, the way we design our home says a lot about us as people. What is our favorite style of furnishing? Do we keep it simple or filled with carefully selected decorative elements?
So our personal interior design is closely related to our personality. Based on the “Big Five” personality traits, i.e. openness, conscientiousness, extroversion, empathy, and neuroticism, US interior design expert Alessandra Wood associated interior styles with personality traits. What’s your house like – and do you know yourself?
