Modern Brutalism: Create Bold Decor That’s Surprisingly Achievable
Brutalism, a bold and raw architectural style that emerged in the mid-20th century, is characterized by its unapologetic use of concrete, steel, and an almost monolithic aesthetic. This style, often misunderstood as cold and uninviting, can be transformed into a stunning and comfortable living space with a modern twist. Here’s how.
How Authentic Style Will Elevate Your Home Decor
Understanding and identifying your authentic interior design style can feel like navigating a maze, but it’s a journey worth taking.
Your home should be a reflection of you; a space where your personality, preferences, and lifestyle shine through. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you uncover your authentic style and transform your home into a true sanctuary.
The Reading: Find Your Interior Design Archetype in Three Minutes
The Reading is a free, three-minute diagnostic quiz created by Plush Design Interiors that identifies your interior design archetype — the underlying personality driving every room you love, every pin you save, and every safe beige decision you've immediately regretted.
It's built on three behavioural axes (Restraint ↔ Abundance, Meaning ↔ Sensation, Rooted ↔ Roaming) and maps your answers to one of eight archetypes.
Unlike style quizzes that assign you a trend label, The Reading identifies a psychological position — one that doesn't expire when the algorithm moves on.
No-Vanilla Archetypes: Why Your Home Has a Personality, Not Just a Style
For years, the design world has sold you styles — Hamptons, Japandi, Mid-Century, Coastal, that one with all the boucle — as though your home were a costume you choose off a rack. Pick a look. Copy the look. Hope the look still feels like you in eighteen months when the algorithm has moved on and your "warm minimalist" lounge suddenly reads as a dental waiting room.
A style tells you what to buy. It never tells you who you are in a room. And that, my darlings, is the entire problem. So I built something better. Meet the No-Vanilla Archetypes.
