That’s a really important question 👍 — because not every designer is equally comfortable with every style. Most firms have a signature look (modern, luxury, minimal, or traditional) and while they can adapt, it’s best to know what they’re strongest in.

💡 What You Should Ask Your Designer

Which 3–4 design styles do you specialize in?
Can you show me portfolio images by style (not just generic projects)?
Are you comfortable blending two styles (e.g., modern + traditional)?
Do you follow international trends (Japandi, Industrial, Mid-Century)?
How do you adapt a style to Delhi NCR climate & practical needs (dust, storage, joint families)?

⚠️ Red Flags

Designer says: “We do all styles equally well” 🚩 → usually means no clear expertise.
Only shows glossy catalog images, not actual executed work.
Pushes only their “signature look” without considering your taste.

✅ Pro Tip

For apartments & builder floors → Modern + Scandinavian (practical + spacious).
For family homes & villas → Traditional + Fusion.
For farmhouses & high-end homes → Luxury with statement finishes.

👉 Would you like me to prepare a Design Style Lookbook (Modern, Traditional, Scandinavian, Luxury, Fusion) with visuals + material palettes so you can quickly identify which style feels most “you” before shortlisting designers?
