    What Design Personality are you? I’m a Curator with a side of Collector😊 Let me know what you are! I can’t wait to see what personalities are the most popular in our community!!!

  • @jeanne-marie8196

    Collector! Definitely

    Definitely a combo of collector and curator with a dash of free spirit!

    Curator, definitely. Becoming an empty nester was a game-changer for us. We jettisoned 25 years worth of stuff and moved to our 1-story forever home. Our motto is: Take it out of the box or it's history. That has led us to be very purposeful about every item we have. Curating means no clutter and truly timeless design.

      We are in the same place in life - empty-nesters (although we have grandkids that spend weekends with us) about to move to our one-story forever home. I'm just beginning to declutter and decide what to take to our new home. Thanks for sharing your motto.

    • @ashleychilders

      I love this ❤

    • @zellalaing5439

    I am definitely a new traditionalist without a doubt, but I can truly appreciate all of the different design styles that people have in their homes to reflect their unique and interesting style.

    • @ashleychilders
      @ashleychilders  Před rokem +1

      Me too! It’s always so fun to see a homeowners unique character come through in how they decorate!

  • @KIARA5140
    @KIARA5140 Před rokem +13

    I love your take on interior design via looking at personality and what suits different people more. So refreshing. I am 90% purist, 10% curator.

  • @Starting_anew
    @Starting_anew Před rokem +9

    Free spirit all the way. This was fun and I appreciated how you synthesized multiple design orientations (boho, eclectic, etc) into one overall sentiment as sometimes we feel torn between looks that really are quite similar.

    • @ashleychilders
      @ashleychilders  Před rokem

      Thank you!! It was fun to develop overall groupings but then dive into each one more specifically ❤

    @countrysister700 Před rokem +5

    This video is amazing! I nearly spilled my coffee at each turn to a new style. Except for the Purist (which to me can only be truly executed by those wealthy, unmarried or childless 😂} I see myself in each. I guess that explains a lot about my interior chaos!

    • @ashleychilders
      @ashleychilders  Před rokem

      I about spilled my coffee out with your comment about Purist! Agreed 😂 -- Thank you ❤

    If you combine curator and free spirit that is definitely my vibe. I love eclectic style for personality and warmth!

  • @tslilbearshoppe9870
    @tslilbearshoppe9870 Před rokem +2

  • @sylvialundberg798
    @sylvialundberg798 Před rokem +8

    I've always considered myself to be eclectic with an appreciation of most styles. After watching these descriptions, I'd say I'm a cross between Curator, New Traditional and Free Spirit. I can't really decide on just one. Thanks for a very informative and fun video!

  • @annamarierogers6906
    @annamarierogers6906 Před 7 měsíci +1

    I am a Curator on a budget. So, I search for dupes at West Elm, HomeGoods, Amazon, Ikea, etc. Your video was a lot of fun to watch, and with the tips and details you shared, I now know what design personality I am, but also several family and friends who love decorating and creating a beautiful home as much as I do. I plan to share this video with them. They will now have a style guide to hone in on decor, artwork, paint colors, rugs and furniture that speaks to them when making any changes to their nest. Thanks for your hard work on this video! Well done, Anna.

    I cannot live without plants, and feel so empty when shown pictures of gorgeous spaces devoid of greenery. I like a lot of styles but could not live without colors, which mostly, in my space, are added with rugs. Plants, lamps and rugs are my things. Hygge. Free spirit from Denmark 🇩🇰

    • @ashleychilders

      I couldn't agree more!! Thanks for watching all the way from Denmark!

  • @hiddenhighland
    @hiddenhighland Před 4 měsíci +1

    I believe, according to your description, that I am mostly leaning on the side of Collector- but also some elements of Free Spirit as well. I love dark moody colours for the home (especially the walls) and I have a wonderful collection of antiques but not in the cluttered sense, just right balance with intentional pieces. Probably the most important element is having a home that is a beautiful envelope in terms of age and originality (full of windows and light...more unusual for historical buildings). It is interesting to learn the different categories of design styles, although it is hard to place oneself entirely in one category.

    • @ashleychilders
      @ashleychilders  Před 4 měsíci +1

      I totally agree, I also have a mix of several design personalities! I love historical, original details as well, there's just something so romantic and enchanting about them. Older homes with these types of details always make my heart skip a beat!

  • @lilacheriyan5098

    OMG! I’m a New Traditionalist to my core. I love everything in that category and every one of those things are in my home BUT my bar cart is real bamboo. My mother’s tea set is proudly displayed atop! I can’t believe how exacting this is. Love❤

    @brendamathieu1069 Před rokem +3

    Hi Ashley, I really enjoyed your comments and descriptions of all five decorator types. I had to listen twice because I had three picked out and then removed one and now I’m down to two; Collector decorator, and free spirit. I’m a cross between them both, however, I tend to really love the free spirit because it feels more like me. Thank you for your wonderful descriptions of each decorator type.

    I have always been a Traditionalist. Now, it's called Modern Traditionalist! Excellent - very lovely, indeed! My foyer has art - personally created by my daughter and me! I do not feel so "Mommysome" anymore after seeing what Kate Spade did to her foyer in her NY apartment. I have heirlooms from several generations of Asian and Spanish (Andalucian) heritage tastefully placed in vignettes all over my house.
