I have been BUSY! We just closed on this HUGE, waterfront condo and are planning on calling it our forever home. It's been very exciting but it has also brought out the obvious differences between me and my partner. I'm very used to how different we are but it becomes very pronounced when we are talking about (important!) things like backsplashes and fixtures.

My partner works in multi-million dollar homes every day and has a definite sense of what he likes and what he thinks holds value over a long period of time. He is all monochromatic and recessed sink. 

I am whimsical and a rule-breaker. I also have a lot more free time to actually buy home stuff and more of an interest in it. 

I see myself winning more often. 

Do you and your SO have a similar home design style? How did you come to decisions? Who ended up taking charge? 

@pinkshoes:  Lucky.

So far our idea is that he gets 2 votes when it comes to anything that has to do with 'the bones' or structure of the place and i get 2 votes when it comes to decorative. This might become problematic as we BOTH like to argue and will be debating what exactly constitutes structural.

'No Honey, concrete floors are DECORATIVE' 

We definitely have very similar styles. I noticed this from the beginning when we started dating, because my ex was sooo different from me (but also kind of indifferent). We both have a rustic style, although I prefer more of an eclectic style and he kinda bugs me with his "themes" for each room...it's kinda fun though!

I have such a variety of styles I like. I enjoy the exteriors of tudors but love the interiors of modern homes. I too like color but only pops or in certain rooms with an overriding monochromatic tone (grayscale).

My SO rarely talks to me about his home style and I have picked out 95% of the stuff in our apartment, he hates my monochromatic style and like bright bold colors everywhere.
