Gryffindor:

Saw something cute on Pinterest and went 'screw it' / Thinks they're ready for grand designs / The colour scheme is super important to them / They like the idea of going minimalist, but eclectic styles suit them way better / "Okay, but what if there was a swing over here, and I could totally do one of those photo walls, and a HUGE armchair over there..." *moves one stool* / They finish with a room full of character and feel pretty proud of themselves

Ravenclaw:

They have to do it on their own - it's too personal a thing to let others mess it up / They've likely been inspired by a room in a book/TV show/film / The idea of having vintage or repurposed items makes their little heart sing / They need to imagine sitting there reading a book and sipping a cup of tea, whilst a record plays softly in the background - if they can't feel this, it's not right yet / Ravenclaws tend to collect some interesting things over the years, and they love showcasing these bizarre bits and pieces in new ways

Hufflepuff:

More likely to build up a room over time than to fully decorate in one sitting / Get excited when they have something new to add / "But are there enough cushions...?" *stares at their 10000000000000 cushions* ".... nope. :)" / Really like the cosiness of scandi styles / Has to call their friends over to help them after spilling paint for the 50th time / Just trying to turn their house into a home / The end game is a cosy room full of candles, fairy lights, and plenty of memories

Slytherin:

Cleaning out before decorating is super therapeutic for them / They need the space to be impressive in some way, and imagine how wowed their friend are going to be whilst decorating / They will try to give the space a chic vibe, but it'll probably end up quite homely in some areas (hufflepuffs and slytherins are the biggest nesters, okay? Okay.) / They likely created a moodboard before decorating / It needs to be perfect for having drinks with friendsand for watching horror films alone
