Styles and trends are not the same thing. But they come together to create your dream home. Learn how they interact and you’ll always be able to put your personal stamp on your home, even as you update it from time to time to keep it looking fresh and exciting.
DESIGN STYLES ARE ETERNAL
A famous fashion designer once declared "trends may come and go but style is eternal."
We agree: think of your design style as the overarching aesthetic of your home. Your home will most likely fall into one of three key styles: Traditional, Eclectic or Contemporary.

The easiest way to find your design style is to take The Home Depot’s online Discover Your Style quiz. Once you know your personal style, it’s easy to find trend pieces that best complement your home.
HOW TRENDS WORK
Decor trends, like fashion trends, cycle in and out of fashion. Fortunately, home decor trends have a considerably long shelf life – unlike some fashion trends!
Use trends to add visual interest to your space so it feels fresh, not “same-old, same-old” all year long and year after year.
When “buying into” a trend (or two), find the one(s) that are most complementary to your personal style.
