The last home we had was a very small workers cottage so I kept the walls a light off white, table and to unit tops were gloss white to bounce the light around. My dining chairs and bar stools were clear acrylic so that I could see through them, the ends of my island bench/brekky bar were mirrored and my curtains were textured white sheers so that they also didn't take up too much visual room. All of my furniture was on legs so that I could see under it and the lounge room rug was pulled away from the lounge just a teeny bit so that I could see a little bit of timber flooring all the way round it, that all made the floor size look just a bit bigger. Bedrooms had mirrored wardrobe doors and bathroom was almost completely white (except for dark floor) and had frameless shower screen and oversized vanity mirror to reflect as much light as possible. Friends and visitors would comment that the house was bigger than they had imagined from the outside.......it wasn't, it was just styled inside to make it look larger.

To be honest I think you're better off looking at the style of house you have.  Deciding what you like about it and finding a style which suits that kind of house.  I'm not a huge fan of Hamptons but if I lived in a Queenslander or just a weatherboard cottage in a regional area that's probably what I would choose.  My current house is 1960s and so better lends itself to modernist but our extension is quite contemporary and has been styled to match.  Previously I lived in a federation house and my decor was different again.  My other tip is to look at your wardrobe and at outfits you really love and why they work.  I think this gives you a good idea of colour schemes and styles which would suit you.  I'm no interior expert but you can then find pictures you like and build up on Houzz or Pinterest. You don't really need a name as such as this just becomes marketing. For example Kate Walker Design's KWD demonstrates some different design styles but I like most of them equally and would again make choices based on location and the style of house.   Sometimes it's easier to simply rule out what you don't like (for me that is primary colours and shiny surfaces)

Choosing the right flooring finish sets the tone for your entire home, and this includes the colour of your floors. Often forgotten in favour of wall colour, floors bring your home together and are a crucial design element. Not only does the type of flooring you choose to install impact the look and feel of your home, but so too does its colour. Whether you seek a cosy, warm look; an open and flowing feel; or to delineate areas, the colour of your floors goes a long way to achieving the overall result you seek. How To Choose The Right Colour Flooring For Your Home? Tips on choosing the right flooring colour Room size – Do you want to make it appear larger? Lighter floor finishes (light oak hybrid vinyl, blonde engineered wood, or cream-coloured carpet, for example) will make your room feel more spacious. Conversely, to make a large room feel cosier, dark engineered wood will help achieve this. Understand how colour impacts aesthetics – To create a streamlined sense of flow throughout your home, colour matches your existing floors (unless you’re re-flooring your entire space). Alternatively, mixed flooring types and colours (as long as the colours are complementary) will help create zones, especially if your home is open-plan. The desired mood of your room will also influence how you choose your flooring colour. A coastal-themed home will look great with light ash tones on the floor. A classic Federation-style home will work best with warm, deep timber-look floors. Black floorboards can provide a dramatic, contemporary feel. Consider your furnishings – What is the context of your room? What is the style of your furniture? Do you have art or another type of decor to consider? What do your soft furnishings look like? Will you have rugs over your finished floor? All of these need to work together to create a clean, complementary look rather than a competing one. The last thing you want is for the overall result to clash. Work with your available light – Consider both natural and artificial light, as light throughout the day (and even the seasons) changes dramatically and enormously impacts how your floor looks. Without an abundance of natural light, lighter-coloured floors will make your home seem brighter, while a very sunny or bright home can look fantastic with a darker floor – it simply depends on the overall look you seek. You should always bring flooring samples home to see them in place to determine if it’s right before making your final choice.
