Most interior projects start with the wrong question: “What style do you like?” The honest answer for most homeowners is a Pinterest board full of contradictions. Almost any interior design company can show you a portfolio of good-looking rooms; far fewer can explain why a particular direction fits how you actually live.

Possession day feels like the finish line, but for interior planning, it’s actually the starting line, and a lot of buyers waste the first few weeks on the wrong things.
