Yup, I match. I noticed this the other day. I had a ton of handwashing hanging to dry. I was surrounded by black, grey, ivory and white in both my home and clothing. It took me aback because all the other colours that I wear and that exist in my home weren't present in the random selection. I have reds, oranges and greens in my home and wardrobe and so the starkness of the selection made me question my choices in clothing. I walk to the closet confirmed I was more than just those neutrals. Similarly both the wardrobe and decor also share a wide variety of textures, natural fabrics and clean, tailored lines.

Yes, I'd say I match. Jewel tones abound in my closet, and in my house.

I think this is only relevant for people who live alone. My closet is full of bright pink/orange/red Marimekko and Lilly Pulitzer type clothes. I doubt either my husband or son would like to live in that palette.

I match, too. Prefer wearing black or charcoal gray dress pants and fairly safe dress shirts in blues, whites, grays, taupes. Think Banana Republic. Although mid-c can be often colorful, I tend to shy away from bold colors in my own mid-c inspired home.

I match.

The Living room/Kitchen and Bedroom are rather like the suits I wear to the office - Solid colors: Dark Brown, Black, Navy, White with lighter shades of blue, some red, a few subdued patterns on the pillows and accessories (like my neckties) and silver hardware (like my watches and cufflinks).

The Den is far more colorful/playful like the clothing I wear when I go on vacation: Pink, navy, lime green, Plaid, big flamboyant patterns (like my Lilly Pulitzer shirts and ties), gilding...

This is like horoscopes -- if you want to read something into it, you can, but that doesn't make it reliably true.

On the one hand, I love to wear all shades of teal and blue greens. I painted my bedroom walls a pale version of this. But on the other hand, I wear a lot of black and that only appears in a few pieces of furniture. I like ethnic vests to wear, and I love ethnic decor as well, but the two actual categories of stuff don't look anything alike.

Other than blues, my color palettes in my clothing and my home are almost completely different. My wardrobe contains a lot of pinks, purples, creams, and blues. My home tends to have a lot more browns, yellows, oranges, etc. Maybe I gravitate towards those colors for home furnishings because I love them but they don't look good on me!

Why not paint a room in a color that flatters you? I do, and think it's the perfect way to chose a wall color.

I think the point is to look to what colors in your wardrobe you're naturally attracted to and comfortable wearing. Perhaps it's basically neutrals with strong pops of color or a more overall nature based pallette.
The suggestion from interior designers is to look at your wardrobe, to incorporate into your interiors, the palette you're attracted to. This will feel instantly "right" and comfortable to you. Amazingly easy.

I guess my house contains more muted shades of the colors I wear.

I definitely match - neutrals, dark red, no prints - although my clothes are usually cooler neutrals than my apartment. On the other hand, I can't really see translating my preferred interior design items (squashy leather chairs and antique medical stuff) into my wardrobe. If anything, I would say my home matches my taste in TV shows (or possibly the other way around). I'm addicted to House for many reasons, but the very first time I saw it I thought 'How did they manage to put everything that I like into one set?'

Not so true for me, I have lots of red in my apartment (bedding, area rug), but not so much in the wardrobe (red clothing does not generally flatter a redhead). I do have a bit of green in both the closet and apartment.

i think this tends to be true.... mine matches. i tend to stick with neutrals; white, gray, black, and dark browns- with pops of color like green (my favorite), aqua, and turquoise. and hardware is always silver or black like my jewelry.

thinking about it this way confirms that the "color scheme" im going with in our new house is right. for a while i was thinking i should step outside the box with my accent colors- using reds, oranges, and yellow because my go to color has been green/aqua since my dorm days- but it is what i'm drawn to!

Yes and it's how I avoided some expensive errors in fabric.

An over-sized houndstooth fabric in chocolate/cream was going on the living room chairs until I remembered a sports jacket in the same pattern that I never wore. Instead, I chose a heavier wool herringbone.

I also love oxblood leather, but it usually seems off with everything else I own - not brown enough or red enough. When I purchased a wingback, I opted for the deep dark cordovan instead.

Etro makes colorful shirts, but I never wear them. It's easier to throw that on a temporary pillow.

We won't discuss what was in my closet when I used Laura Ashley.

I do have a red paisley shirt that embarassingly matches my kitchen tablecloth.

This is a case of not necessarily "matching" but "going". My clothes definitely "go" with my home. I recently fitted our very tiny "den" with metro shelving and closet rods. So now all my dress clothes are on-display. Much to my surprise, I think I might forgo hanging a door on the room, as planned. I like seeing my collection of shirts and suits hanging visibly. Because they "go"!

Not at all. My apartment is a 1920s flat decorated in art deco style- black, bronze, golds, and creams- and my wardrobe is far more colourful- filled with lots of aqua, orange, and royal purple. I do tend to wear more black and navy in the autumn and winter, and I suppose I do wear gold jewelry- but there's really no connection between the two.

I'd love to wear 1920s and 30s drop waist dresses, but I'm a true hourglass shape and they don't suit me so well! I tend to wear more contemporary styled clothing.

The colours I like to wear and the colours I like in my house couldn't be more different.

a resounding yes--though i think it's more represented in style than color. that is to say, both my wardrobe and my condo are very neat, pretty eclectic, just a little bohemian, and always accented with a something unexpected.

My apartment is much like my wardrobe--filled with vintage selections all carefully hand-picked and edited regularly. I seldom buy new clothes and I seldom buy new stuff for my house. Color wise? You bet! I love to wear the colors I use to decorate, but more importantly, the kitschy sensibility of the place is echoed in the novelty printed garments from the 40s & 50s that I happen to collect and wear. (Natch, I have my everyday running around clothes which are often fairly dull, but not as hard to replace as my vintage.)

Nope, I don't match.
My wardrobe: mostly blacks and light blues; what isn't is bright prints.
My home is mostly browns, yellows (I think I don't own a single piece of yellow clothing) and neutrals.

No, no! One wants to stand out from the background in one's home, doesn't one?? Decor should be the opposite of wardrobe!
