That could automatically answer the question. If you are wondering whether it would be worth it or if you should renovate or add an addition to your home before you sell it, this episode is for you.

I have been doing a series of episodes introducing the 12 major furniture styles on the market today. Most of them are not trends but rather shapes, textures, and lines that you like. You choose one, two, or three (at most) of the styles for your home, which you can blend together. This blend of styles creates a whole new style called an Eclectic Style. Once you choose the styles you love, this tells you which ones to shop for and eliminates all the rest. It eliminates all of the other thousands of furniture choices. 

You will find the furniture series very helpful in establishing your favorite style or styles, making shopping for interior furnishings much easier.
