×She styled the new building.

“Style” as a verb typically refers to arranging or presenting something (especially hair, clothing, or text) in a particular way. For creating the structure or plan of buildings, objects, or systems, use “design”.
×He styled a report about the project.
✓He wrote a report about the project.
“Style” is not a general synonym for “write.” It specifically means to write or present something according to particular stylistic conventions (e.g., formatting, tone). Use “write” for the general act of composing text.
×She styles very well.
✓She styles hair very well. / She has great style.
The transitive verb “style” usually requires a direct object (what is being styled). The intransitive use is rare. If you want to comment on someone's general fashion sense, use the noun “style” instead.
×I need to style my room.
✓I need to decorate my room. / I need to style my hair.
While “style” can mean to design or make something fashionable, it is most commonly used with hair, clothing, or text. For arranging furniture and decor in a room, “decorate” or “furnish” is more natural.
×That company styles new trends.
✓That company sets new trends. / That company follows the latest styles.
“Style” as a verb means to give a specific form or appearance to something. It does not mean to create or establish broad trends. Use “set trends” or “create trends” for that meaning.
