Discover Your Space DNA
Space DNA is a framework developed by SYP Homes to explore your natural relationship with space. Through seven questions about belongings, order, beauty and everyday preferences, discover what helps you feel at ease at home.
Seven questions. No right or wrong answers.
Feeling at home is personal. Space DNA explores the preferences that shape your relationship with your surroundings, from how much you like to have around you to what you choose to display or keep over time.
What Your Space DNA Explores
Belongings
Do you feel comfortable surrounded by things, prefer a balance, or feel most at ease with less?
Order
How much does everyday disorder affect your comfort and peace of mind?
Function & Beauty
How do you weigh comfort, usefulness and appearance when choosing something for your home?
Display
Do you enjoy seeing the things that matter to you, or is knowing they are there enough?
Collecting
Do you welcome objects simply because you like them, even when they have no practical purpose?
Change
Do you enjoy refreshing your surroundings, or prefer finding what feels right and living with it over time?
The 7 Space DNA Archetypes
Each Space DNA archetype describes a different relationship with home. Your answers identify the closest match, while individual preferences add nuance to your result. People who share an archetype can still enjoy very different interiors.
-
You feel at ease with things around you, and a little everyday mess rarely disturbs your comfort. Home gives you room to relax without keeping everything carefully arranged. Your preferences for beauty, practicality and display add their own character to this easygoing relationship with space.
-
You value a considered balance of belongings, with both usefulness and appearance influencing what you choose. Everyday untidiness is manageable; what matters more is that the things you bring home meet your standards. You want choices that feel worthwhile in both how they work and how they look.
-
Comfort, usefulness and value guide your choices. You prefer a manageable amount of belongings and can live with a little disorder when everyday life works well. Beauty is welcome, but practical benefits give you the strongest reason to bring something home.
-
Beauty is central to how you experience home. Visual disorder can unsettle you, and you care about how objects, furniture and their arrangement work together. Your surroundings offer a way to express your taste, with the overall composition deserving as much attention as each individual piece.
-
A sense of order helps you feel settled. You want belongings to have a place and everyday routines to work smoothly. Practicality is a strong priority, while your individual preferences determine how much you like to keep, what you display and how much appearance influences your choices.
-
You feel most comfortable with fewer things, chosen with intention. Beauty or personal significance gives an object a reason to stay. Your relationship with home centres on selection: deciding what deserves space and allowing those choices to have a presence.
-
Having less helps you feel at ease. A home with fewer demands on your attention gives you room to unwind, whether you enjoy occasional adjustments or prefer lasting familiarity.
About Your Space DNA Result
Is this a style quiz?
Space DNA explores your relationship with space, not a decorating style. People with the same archetype can enjoy very different interiors.
Does it describe my current home?
Your result reflects what naturally feels comfortable to you. Your current home may differ because of shared living, budget or existing belongings.
What if the people I live with have different results?
Different results reveal what matters to each person. Use them to discuss how your shared home can accommodate both your preferences and everyday needs.
