Chubby Furniture = Chubby Beads?

I recently saw this French style bombe chest on Graham and Green's website. It is a similar style to the type of furniture I grew up with. My house was filled with cabriole legged furniture and chubby rounded shapes. Although my personal taste now is pretty simple, I still love this style.

And that gave me reason to wonder, is that why all my beads are short and rounded too? Is this a nature vs. nurture type situation or is just my personal aesthetic (and body shape!).

Do you reflect as to why you have a certain personal style? What are your influences? I'd love to hear them.
