Carefully observing decor of a friends home or office - or our own - can give good tips on discovering many things about a person. For example, it demonstrates the the things we like and do not like, and can give insights into our character. For those with a practical sense, this characterization will show up in the efficiency of their cabinets and storage in the basement, kitchen or office space. On the other hand, if you pay close attention to the lounging areas of many individuals, you can find a key to their personalities therein, as a natural tones indicate a hardworking persons desire to relax.

Glancing into a red, satin themed bedroom gives an even better indication of a part of a personality that not everyone sees. As any good decor expert can tell you, it's essential to keep a fine line between public and private parts of the home. Think about holding a party for example. Which areas of your house would you be happy to open up to your guests and which ones would you prefer to keep off limits?

As bedrooms are seen only by a select few people, many people choose to go ahead and splurge on the decoration. The type of floor decor a homeowner picks will depend on how highly traveled the floor is. Floors, however, are not exempt from showing what type of personality an individual has, as the color and substance of the materials you choose can be excellent clues in what kind of personality you have. Hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms - frequently traveled areas - require a nice, hard wearing laminate, but a warm and cozy wool carpet is better for the bedroom.

No decor is complete without accessorizing, and the materials you choose for this part of the decorating will let others see what kind of personality you have, unquestionably. Lighting can make a big difference to how each room is perceived. Spotlights can be used to highlight specific areas in the kitchen, whether its for practical or aesthetic purposes. The rest of your home can be decorated in this manner too.

Along with spotlights, single light fittings can be immensely helpful in the manner in which you showcase individual items that matter to you. For those who prefer a less complicated approach, they should experiment with an overall mood lighting instead. In essence, we should be careful when we pick our home's decor, because it could reveal more about our personality than we might begin to think it would.
