HGTV's Find Your Style with Karen McAloon

HGTV's Find Your Style is one of my favourite shows

because of Karen McAloon's great talent of being able

to pull any room with any mix of styles and items together

based on the style choices of the home's owners.

She always starts by looking around the owner's home

to figure out the style of the couple and guides them on

making decitions about their room starting with

1.) Paint Color 2.) Wood 3.)Metal Finishes 4.) Color

of the Furnishings 5.) and an accent color.

She sends the couple off with a list for a shopping spree

with guidelines according to the 4-5 elements they choose.

When the owners come back, they are asked to put the

room together on their own. Karen then comes back to give

the owner options in furnishings and rugs letting the owners

choose what they like the best.

At the very end, Karen waves her wand and always pulls

the room together with all the different elements and

finishes the room beautifully. She is a very easy host to

listen to with her upbeat and open personality.

I particularly liked what she did with this bedroom/guestroom.

The transformation is quite dramatic with this as the before

photo.

Here is the finished room with a Murphy bed and a sitting

area. The space looks amazing compared to what it was

before.

A very polished eclectic space.

The before photo in a San Francisco condo.

I really love the chairs and fabric she

pulled together for the room.

The room looks amazing and very sophisticated.
I am totally envious of those turquoise chairs.

Here's a more contemporary guest bedroom.

I love the bold reds in this space. The way she mixed

it in with neutrals makes the color palette not too

overwhelming.

A very traditional room with brick red and golds.

An airy and contemporary bedroom.

I love the midcentury styled sofa. I really like the

fact that it is black as I don't see many black sofas.

A quintissential midcentury modern living room.

I so want that chocolate brown couch!

Great space planning for this living space.

Another sophiscated living area with a sitting area

by the fireplace (unseen in the photo.)

I love the robin's egg colored sofa.

And we finish with a very glamorous dining room with

dark chocolate walls and a group of mirrors to open

the space up.

Hope you enjoyed the little tour and Karen

McAloon's talent in pulling just about any

style or color combination together.
