Discovering your style with The Home Depot

Do you yearn for the air of yesteryear?
Do you prefer a country look?
Do you favour straight, simple, ultra-modern lines?
Do you have eclectic tastes and like to mix and match?
Your choices in home décor reflect your personality. Your style in clothes speaks loud and clear about who you are. So does the way you dress your home.
The way that you decorate your home can speak to three different design styles: Traditional, Eclectic and Contemporary. Whether blending together the old and new, embracing vintage luxury or modern design, anyone can give their home a refreshing lift.
Perhaps you would like to begin your design journey with a Discover Your Style quiz. Check out the quiz at www.homedepot.ca/discoveryourstyle. Your answers will help define your style.
With this in mind, The Home Depot is providing guidance, and offering a new selection with the tools and products you can use to get there. You can celebrate your personal style with these three seasonal design trends: Heritage, Harvest and New Frontiers. Each trend introduces products and coordinating colour palettes to help you wow the world with your next decorating project.
If your taste tends to the traditional, you may think in terms of décor that highlights crystal chandeliers, gilded mirrors, antique furniture and crown moulding. Then the Heritage trend is for you.
Here you will find a blend of updated architecture and period pieces. Timeless features combined with lighter colours, glistening light fixures, rubbed bronze, copper and antique brass speak of tradition with a difference. Warm tones—shades of gold, taupe, sand, reds and greens—in window coverings and wall treatments help to set the tone. So do classic patterns on area rugs and bronze metal deco tiles.
Maybe you are a country soul at heart. If the rustic look says home to you, then the Harvest Design trend is your choice.
This collection features bleached, worn and rustic woods and finishes in cabinets, vanities, flooring and even lighting. Pewter hardware and antique brass with a rejuvenated look are part of this classic country look with a difference.
Antique and whitewashed finishes are combined with wide-plank wood flooring. Leaded-glass cabinets and freestanding islands in kitchens contribute to the elegant cottage look. Distressed details in furniture and lighting underline the theme. Shades of grey and taupe, complemented by white and accented by red and orange add to the charm of the stylish country look.
If your style preference falls more inline with industrial chic, find that ultra-modern look in the New Frontiers design trend.
Make your mark with stainless steel backsplashes and sinks, faucets and countertops, raw lighting, high-shine finishes and splashes of bold colours. Tie the elements together by adding an understated backdrop of subdued blues, greys and coppers.
