What the Home Decor Style Quiz actually calculates
Each answer contributes points to predefined Scandinavian, Modern, Bohemian, or Traditional profiles; clean lines can score for both Scandinavian and Modern. The leading style's points are divided by four to produce the Leading style match percentage. This is the share of your answers matching that profile, not scientific confidence, probability, or a validated assessment. Ties return one leading style according to the engine's ordering rather than showing a blended result.
The calculation path
A transparent rule set scores the selected characteristics against established style profiles.
Inputs that can change the answer
- Preferred palette: Select the applicable preferred palette from the listed choices.
- Favorite materials: Select the applicable favorite materials from the listed choices.
- Preferred forms: Select the applicable preferred forms from the listed choices.
- Ideal feeling: Select the applicable ideal feeling from the listed choices.
Checks that stay outside the formula
Treat the result as a filter for choices, not a rule that limits personal objects.
A practical order for entering the data
- Choose the palette and materials you would actually enjoy living with.
- Select your preferred forms and atmosphere rather than trying to match a particular style label.
- Use the leading style and percentage as a rule-based match score, then compare its suggestions with your existing belongings.
