So many decisions and I have no sense of decoration (house)

I went to all of the models around the city that I could find for our builder, looked at in house examples of the cabinets, flooring, fixtures, everything. Took pictures, made some decisions and went back again. We spent a lot of time at the design center where all of the options were. They could usually tell us where an example of the big items like tiles, flooring, cabinets were, which model home it was in. That helped the most.

We wanted the whole house to have a cohesive look so most choices we made were implemented throughout the home, like the hardware cabinets, lighting and floor.

One thing to really take into consideration, do you want your house to have warm or cool tones. Make sure your cabinets and floor choices reflect this. If you have liked cool colors for ages, don't get a golden floor color with warm cabinets. Speaking from experience here LOL.

I agree with Flowergirl. Get on pinterest. Start pinning things that you like. Don't analyze. Just what you like. After you've pinned a bunch of stuff, go back and see what the images have in common. That's how you'll find your style.

Right now white cabinets and granite countertops are big sellers. I think that trend will last, so you might want to consider that for kitchen and baths. Other things are very nice too, but if you don't have a true preference, that's a pretty safe bet.

I love to window shop at Houzz-you can do it room by room. I went with a neutral paint (mine is Benjamin Moore nightingale) and added color that can be changed with pillows and wall art. Hardwood floors are also very desirable, especially first floor.

You can do a "what's my decor style" quiz here: www.houzz.com/ideabooks/25171951/list/houzz-quiz-whats-your-decorating-style

So fun for you! Let us know what you choose!

I would highly recommend light floors if they will be wood or laminate. Dark floors are a nightmare to keep clean. Everything shows.

Look through all the styles. There will be some you really feel comfortable with. I love beachy, too, but I'm mainly a transitional decorating style, so I stick with that but add some beachy touches. Maybe you can do something like that. 

I agree with female business: dark floors can be challenging. 

I think elements of rustic "log cabin" and beachy can find a middle ground.  While beach shacks aren't made of stout whole logs they can still have a rough hewn cozy interior -- think driftwood. Instead of plaid woolen blankets on the sofa think beach towels or sofa throws in sea/tropical colors.

I would be terrible at what you described. I'm not good at decorating or making a rooms look good together like some people are.

Having had white cabinets I would not do them again. They always just seem to look kind of dingy and just don't really do it for me. I would choose a darker stained wood cabinet. Something classic that would look good with lots of different paint colors since I like to change paint colors fairly often. As far as hard ware I prefer brushed nickel and would have that throughout the house.

I think the kitchen layout with the lighting shown looks great in either the light or dark cabinets.

I prefer the white cabinets. I think white cabinets are classic and timeless and go with pretty much every trend that will come and go in the future. Since the cabinets are one of the most expensive items in a home I would stick with classic.

That being said, the darker wood is pretty too.

If I was to build a house, I wouldn't want to skimp on flooring. After having my third kid, I'd avoid carpet as much as possible. I can handle it in the bedrooms though.

I noticed that for our builder the only available white cabinets were the top upgrade, so it's not common in our community. We also have built before and we don't skimp on flooring, upgrade tile, carpet in kids rooms and pad, upgraded wood floors in the rest of the house. For me if you go with dark cabinets, go for a lighter floor and counter top. If you go dark floor, go dark counters and light/white cabinets. I also feel like paint is not that big of a deal to do if you don't like what options the builder offers. We got a nice grey for our house, but before we were only offered off white. We painted right away. We also upgrade door knobs, etc. but fixtures we do ourselves. So we don't worry about what lights are going in.  

I agree about looking at houzz and pinterest. I like Houzz for this better because I can take notes that are specific to what I like about the space and that helps me later when I look at it again, plus there are links to buy some of the things. My dh and I went through houzz room by room and just marked what we liked, then we looked at it all at the same time to see what we liked and found our agreed upon style. That was helpful too.
