You follow all the latest interior trends, and you are not ashamed of it. There is no shame in going mainstream – after all, trends exist to be followed, right? If you need further suggestions on what’s “in” this year, we think mixed metals, grownup pastels and nature-inspired spaces are all the rage. But with so many different on-trend looks out there, there’s bound to be one that you love and fits your personality too.

Your home is officially the capital of hipster city. It repels trending interior design norms like they are the plague. It’s so hipster that it doesn’t even know that it’s hipster. You have an entire bookshelf devoted to cult novels; your furniture pieces are either distressed or repurposed; and your interiors are populated with dead technology.

Vintage furniture? Not quite. More like vintage-inspired furniture. You love all things old school, but you can’t quite bring yourself to purchasing things that are genuinely reclaimed, repurposed and recycled – er, have you read about the dangers of wood splinters? As such, your home reads trendy but cool, and just a little different. An odd ornament here, a pop of zany colour there, and perhaps a really abstract painting in your living room – but that’s it.

Sure, you have ironic decor, several upcycled furniture here and there, and you despise mainstream labels of all kinds (chuck away that pasta packaging and put them in mason jars!). But one thing you lack? A serious commitment to things that don’t work. Yes, a true hipster home is an eclectic mix of things that don’t serve any function other than to certify the owner’s taste in alternative everything. You still want to retain a level of modern comfort with your plush sofas and high-tech refrigerator please.
