Friday Frolics - What's Your Decorating Style?

A girlfriend has just moved into her new apartment and she's still in the process of fine-tuning the décor. So we went to Ikea the other day to see what she can find for her new space. And oh, speaking of Ikea I'm just so glad that Ikea will be opening its second store in Malaysia and it's going to be here in Kuala Lumpur too! Yay! It's at Jalan Cochrane in Cheras to be exact. Many people would be happy. I know I am. :D

Alright, I digress. Let's get to the matter at hand today, a Personality Quiz. Since we are on the topic of Ikea, let's do a Decorating Style quiz, shall we?

Have a happy day ahead!



My Style is Bright

You are an optimistic and sunny person. And you like your surroundings to be as bright and as cheery as you are.

You love colorful things, but you also understand that less is more. You are likely to work with a home's natural sunlight and architecture.


You aren't afraid to make bold choices in decorating and in the rest of your life. You like to be surrounded by things, people, and events that pop.

There is nothing subdued or boring about your style. However, you are never too much - you are just the right amount!

Therefore we are seeing blue skies again in Kuala Lumpur. Yay! That is after more than a month of overcast weather and hazy skies. The rains are back but mainly in the evenings and much needed to ensure we continue to have sunny days and clear skies.
