What style should I go with?
We bought a new house and I am torn between modern style (simple, square, maybe some leather) and more classical style (more ornaments and decorations on the furniture) for my bedroom furniture. What should I do? I love both. I am afraid that with classical it will look boring (I would like eclectic). And with modern it may look cold and uninviting. I want my bedroom to be sexy and sensual. Is there a test I could take somewhere online? Hiring a decorator is not an option! Also, is modern and contemporary the same style?

- HGTV has some good stuff on it. I understand your dilemma! I've been trying to figure out my "style" for awhile, but with so many people living in my head, I can't decide!! LOL!
- I personaly would go for classical, as it has more warmth, or you can go with modern, byut have warm colours dqures. Try tickle.com for a test.
- It sounds like you are looking for a more eclectic look. There is a great and fun quiz you can take on the hgtv web site to find out what your design style is here: http://www.hgtv.com/hgtv/pac_ctnt_988/text/0,2496,HGTV_22056_33321,00.html To answer your other question, contemporary design incorporates lots of color and texture and artwork is comfortable and colorful. Modern design uses less texture and is more about form/artistic impression rather than function. There's a great article about modern vs. contemporary found here: http://www.hgtv.com/dc-design-colors/modern-vs-contemporary/index.html
