We were "modern rustic", which despite sounding like any oxymoron is exactly how we consider our style to be. The test even breaks down your score by three categories, showing what percentage of your style is "modern", "Scandinavian", and "country". A really great tool if you need help solidifying your look.
Take the test here.

Apparently, I'm 100% country. Yee-haw.

Modern Zen. I largely agree, although I'm calling my look "global contemporary" since the zen part is only a dream! (It requires lack of clutter -- I'm working on it, but I really LIKE the stuff causing the clutter, so it's a problem.)

Griege, we're like two peas in a pod then. I got the same scores exactly... Now we'll have to see how many others get the same score to see if Ikea is swaying folks in this direction. :-)

Greige and bltimorerowhouse, I had the same scores as well for modern natural. Interesting.

I'm modern urban which sounds about right.
80% modern
0% Scandinavian
20% country
But country? Really?

100% Scandinavian Original...I think that just means I worked at IKEA for way too long!

Country Antique - 20% Scandinavian 80% Country
That is so dead on. I truly do hate the chill of Modern design.

Country Antique.
80% country, 20% modern.
I like classic styles, what can I say.

I'm Scandinavian Original.
20% Modern
80% Scandinavian
0% Country
The only flaw is that I didn't like half of the things I chose. Didn't like the chairs, didn't like the lamps... I just think Ikea isn't really my "style" to begin with.

Kinda off topic. I love that bench in the picture. Does anyone know where that's from?

Scandinavian Minimalist! (60% Scand., 20% Modern, 20% Country.)
Which is spot-on actually — I am in fact Scandinavian (100% :)), and very much a minimalist.

I'm "Modern Romantic." Sounds like a 1980's band!

Huh. I got "modern original"
40% Modern
20% Scandinavian

Which is about right. I like the modern look, but in the end I'll go for cozy and soft.

Hmmm... not sure if that bench is from Ikea (not on their website), but here is something very comparable at Urban Outfitters:

That's because it was discontinued in the US a couple years ago.

But I don't know how fair this is in my case. I wasn't too crazy for any of the pattern options, or chairs or lamps.
