How to Decorate When You Don’t Know Your Style
You want a beautiful home. You know what you like when you see it, but when you try to decorate your own space, everything feels random. You scroll through inspiration, but nothing seems consistent. You buy pieces you love, but they do not look right together. You try to define your style, but it feels slippery, inconsistent, or impossible to put into words.
If you have ever thought, “I don’t know my style,” you are not stuck. You are simply decorating without a structure. Style becomes clear only after the foundation is correct.
Not knowing your style is not a problem. It is a signal.
Most people blame themselves for lacking style, but the issue is never about taste.
The issue is that the room has no defined purpose, no clear anchor, no balanced sightlines, and no structural clarity.
Without structure, every style feels confusing.
With structure, your style becomes obvious.
Here is why you cannot identify your style yet
You are trying to define your style while:
• the layout is off
• the scale is mismatched
• the anchor is wrong
• the room is carrying too much weight
• the space is reflecting an older version of your life
Style cannot emerge from a disorganized foundation.
It emerges from clarity.
1. Your room is talking over your decor
A room with structural issues will overpower any decor you add.
You could have beautiful pieces, but if the room is unaligned, the style feels inconsistent.
This is why people think they “do not have a style.”
Their style never had space to appear.
2. You are mixing purchases without understanding the anchor
When you buy decor before identifying the anchor, the pieces have nothing to respond to.
They float around the room without a relationship to each other.
Your style shows up only when everything in the room reflects the same anchor.
3. You are looking at inspiration before observing your own space
Scrolling through inspiration can feel helpful, but it becomes confusing when you do not yet understand what your room needs.
You have been trying to choose a look.
You need to choose a structure first.
4. Your identity has shifted but your space has not
Many people “lose their style” when their life changes.
Your space still reflects an older version of you, so everything new feels disconnected.
You do not lack style.
You have outgrown the space.
Style becomes clear when the structure is right
Designers do not start with style.
They start with:
• layout
• proportions
• sightlines
• circulation
• anchor
• purpose
Once the structure is set, style becomes extremely easy to identify.
Homeowners always say the same thing once the reset is complete:
“I finally know what I like.”
This is exactly why the Space Edit Reset™ works
The Space Edit Reset™ reveals your style by stripping away visual noise and aligning the foundation of the room.
Inside the Reset, you learn how to:
• observe the room with fresh eyes
• clear the surfaces blocking your style
• define what the space is actually for
• identify the correct anchor
• balance visual weight
• rebuild the room so your preferences finally make sense
Once the structure is correct, your style becomes visible and consistent.
Two moves that help you discover your style today
1. Clear one entire surface and leave it empty for a full day
When a surface is empty, you can see the true architecture of the room.
This clarity reveals the direction your style naturally leans toward.
2. Sit in three spots and write one word for each
The words you choose reveal your style more accurately than any mood board.
Most people discover they want:
• softer lines
• stronger contrast
• more texture
• fewer items
• larger scale pieces
• lighter walls
Your body knows what it wants before your mind does.
A real homeowner moment
A homeowner once told me she had “no style at all.” She kept buying items she liked, but everything felt mismatched once she put them together.
Once we worked through the Reset, her style became obvious within minutes.
Her anchor had been wrong for years.
Her sofa was centered to the TV instead of the architecture.
Every item she bought felt wrong because the structure was wrong.
We aligned the anchor and cleared her sightline.
Suddenly all her previous purchases looked cohesive.
She said, “I do have a style. My room was blocking it.”
Your next step
If you feel like you do not know your style, the issue is not your taste. It is the structure. The Space Edit Reset™ teaches you how to build a foundation where your style finally becomes clear, consistent, and grounded.
