🎯 HOW IT WORKS

1. Flip through to find your vibe — most people have one dominant aesthetic.
2. Copy the search scripts for the items you need.
3. Paste into any shopping site — results actually match.

⭐️ WHY THIS WORKS

This isn’t a style theory book — it’s a shopping translator. You don’t need to know what makes Bauhaus different from Industrial. You need to know what to type into Amazon’s search bar to find the chair on your Pinterest board. Most homes blend 2–3 styles anyway: pick your dominant (60–70% of purchases), use the others as accents.

📍 WHERE THIS FITS

Made for first-apartment renters, small-space dwellers, and anyone with a full Pinterest board and no clue what their style is actually called. When you’re ready for more:

• The Renter’s Decor Visual Wiki — measurement standards for the pieces you find.
• The “Buy or Pass” Pocket Filters — the 60-second decision filter for each item.
• All three plus 2 more files in The Apartment Design Action Kit bundle for $27.99 (35% off).

❓ FAQ

How is this different from the “Buy or Pass” Pocket Filters? Style Search tells you what to search for to find the right aesthetic. Buy or Pass tells you whether to buy what you found. Used together: Style Search to find candidates, Buy or Pass to pick the keeper.

Do I have to pick just one style? No — most homes blend 2–3. Use one as your dominant (60–70%), others as accents.

Will the search scripts work on Etsy, IKEA, and Wayfair? Yes — copy-paste verified across Target, Amazon, Wayfair, Etsy, and IKEA.
