I’m moving and want my new house to look and feel cohesive, but I only have a vague idea about Decorating and need some suggestions for books or websites that will help me identify my style so that I can express it to an Interior Designer or decorator.
Just find pictures of things that you like in magazines. Furniture is either traditional, contemporary or a mix. Once you show the things you like to a decorator, he or she will know the look you are after. Don’t worry about doing what is "in style", instead look for things that you love to look at and make you happy. I have lots of art in my house. I used to buy paintings that would MATCH a room but have begun buying a print or picture that I love to look at instead. No reason to be surrounded by things in your home that don’t make you happy to look at. When you thumb through magazines you’ll stop on the pages you like and eventually fine tune your style.

What you can do is get a hold of a bunch of decorating magazines such as Southern Living or Better Homes and Gardens. Look through them for pictures of rooms that you like, and take them out. Decide what it is about all these rooms that you like, and work from there.
Good luck!
