She’s A Little Bit Country, I’m A Little Bit Scandinavian Classic
How About Orange always finds the best online quizzes. I think we owe Jessica for just about all of the fun, not-so-scientific peeks into our psyches that we’ve shared with you. Her latest find comes from Ikea’s business web site (which I believe is new, unless you know otherwise).
Just like the last one, this “Find Your Style” quiz uses a series of images (color swatches, fabrics, Ikea displays) to help determine your perfect combination of styles. And- spoiler alert- this Scandinavian-based company tends to think a lot of styles include at least a bit of “Scandinavian” design. In fact, my style is called “Scandinavian Classic” and Sherry is “Scandinavian Natural.” I guess that should come as no surprise to us considering how much Ikea furniture we’ve owned in our lifetime. Here’s mine:
Sherry and I were actually surprised that our results appeared to be so similar (our selections were actually pretty different). It does say I’m slightly more Scandinavian (I am the blond one) and that Sherry’s slightly more “country” than me (although she’d argue that “cottage” is the new term for “country”). Here’s hers:
And here’s the 9-question quiz. As usual, we’d love to hear your results. Especially if you somehow managed to evade the Scandinavian descriptor. Although something tells me that might not be possible…

I took the quiz and ended up “Modern Original,” even though I scored 40% on the Scandinavian meter. :) Thanks for passing along the fun quizzes!
I got “County Zen” which sounds a bit contradictory to me, but what do I know! I was 0% Modern, 40% Scandanavian, 60% Country. :)
I am “scandinavian natural” 40% modern, 60% scandinavian. I guess its a good thing the IKEA is opening here in charlotte in less than 2 weeks! Too bad I can’t wait that long. I will be hitting it in Atlanta this weekend. :)
Country Balanced. I had no idea I was 80% “cottage”.
Another Scandinavian Classic here…
No Scandinavian here… 0%… nada. Country classic is apparently my ikea style.
Modern urban, but I apparently dabble in country (20%) …
country natural :) i am 0% modern! haha
According to the quiz, I’m ‘Scandinavian balanced,’ which is no real surprised because the word I chose from the list of words presented in one of the steps is ‘balanced.’ No real revelations there.
However, my breakdown is 0% modern, 60% Scandinavian, and 40% country. That surprised me because I usually describe my style as modern to other people. Maybe I need to look around more and find out what other people think modern means….
Country Classic here with 0% Modern, 20% Scandinavian, & 80% Country. I guess that explains why I didn’t find too much of interest the one time I went to Ikea.
I got Country Classic, being 40% Scandinavian, and 60% Country. Hmmm.
Country Original here!
I’m “Modern Industrial” (60% modern, 20% Scandinavian, 20% country). Sounds about right.
Zen…Scandanavian style. The results made me chuckle a little bit.
My style is Country Urban.
My results were 100% country. (Which is in stark comparison to my music preferences!)
No Scandanavian here! Modern Natural is my style.
I’m ‘Modern Antique’
40% Modern
20% Scandinavian
40% Country (or as I have to agree with Sherry, ‘Cottage’)
=)
Country Original :)
I’m Scandinavian Classic. This little quiz made me want to go shopping lol I love Ikea!!! Most of my furniture is from there.
Country natural. Woo.
My style is Country Original (0% Modern, 20% Scandie and 80% Country). I’ve seen my apartment. Original, yes. Country, no. Maybe I’m really Country at heart?
I’m Rustic Country. 20% Modern, 20% Scandinavian, 60% Country. Sounds about right.
I think that it pairs your top rated thing with what you said you want to be.
I am “Modern balanced” – 40% modern, 20% Scandinavian, 40% country.
I got country romantic
0% scandinavian
0% modern
100% country lol!
Country Urban for me. Interesting.
Country Classic here. I’m with Sherry–I prefer “cottage” to country. ;-)
‘Country Minimalist’! I didn’t even know that was possible!
No wonder I can’t decide how to redo my family room!
20% Scandinavian
80% Country
Which seems just about right to me!! I am, after all, “Lovely in the Country” (see my blog)….
0% modern
20% scandinavian
80% Country
Really?!?!?
Country Antique for me.
0% Modern
0% Scandinavian
100% Country
Guess that’s why I’m not a fan of Ikea!
“modern natural”
and even though i love IKEA, i scored 0% scandinavian. hmmm… thanks for passing along the quiz!
Modern minimalist.
60% modern
20% scandanavian
20% country
I’d say that’s about right for my style.
I’m a Country Natural which is not at all what I expected! 0% modern, 20% Scandanavian, 80%!! Country
I’m ‘country balanced’ –
0% modern
40% scandanavian
60% country
I’m not so sure I agree with this, although I do agree that ‘country’ is really more ‘cottage’. Maybe being Texan is adding to my country score?
I’m 80% Scandanavian and 20% Country. No Modern on the register at all!
Country original. Pretty right on.
I’m 100% country. Turns out I’m country natural. ha.
I’m country rustic too.
0% modern
40% scandinavian
60% counrty.
The quiz told that I can’t apply one style to any space. I guess that makes my ‘style’ authentically mine? ;)
I took this about a week ago and got “Modern Minimalist”
60% Modern
40% Scandinavian
0% Country
Perfect.
I’m apparently “modern minimalist”
40% Modern
20% Scandinavian
40% Country
Thanks for posting this!
I am ‘Country Urban.’
20% Modern
20% Scandinavian
60% Country (I agree that it’s Cottage)
“Country Balanced” – 40% Scandinavian and 60% Country… I mean cottage. Really?! I’m surprised. Fun quiz, thanks John and Sherry!
Modern Natural
40% Modern, 40% Scandinavian, 20% country.
It does sound like me.
Oh yeah and the quiz told me that I “.. can’t apply one style like a blanket” … too hot for blankets now anyhoo. :P
I came in as Modern Zen so it must be possible.
“modern urban”–60% modern, 40% scandinavian, 0% country. if you looked at my house you’d know the breakdown is completely true, too.
though i have to add, i didn’t really like any of the look word choices–what i really wanted was “lush” or “modern” or “hollywood” or something.
No matter how many times I took the quiz–my country score was way high.
I guess all those years of criticizing my mom’s “country” decor are finally catching up with me.
Modern Classic…sounds about right
I am a modern Zen.
ok.
I am “country classic.” 80% country — 80! — and 20% Scandanavian. Seems a little odd at first, but if you put my house against Ikea I do look quite country. Quizzes are fun!
Ohh I am “Country Balanced.” 40% Scandinavian, 60% Country.
I read somewhere that my (personal) decorating style is called “contemporary,” which is a combination of modern and country. More details than modern style but without the fussiness of country. I think of “Scandinavian” as relatively “modern” (all those clean lines) so I would say this quiz is pretty right on!
