Most clients we work with have a mix of styles. She likes modern, he likes traditional. That often leads to a common question we love to help our clients solve – how do we blend our two styles? Today, I’m going to share a few tips and ideas to mixing styles and creating a thoughtful, curated new space.

BALANCE

The main trick to bringing styles together is to balance out the room, not creating separate style zones. What do I mean by that? If you blend your favorite styles together, the result will look more like a curated, thoughtful space. Also make sure there is an even balance to the room, for example, not choosing traditional furniture in one area and modern accessories and art in another. Make sure to use a combination of both to design a space that is pleasing to the eye.

LAYERS

Layering is always a good measure when designing a room. It allows to build stylistically, using different textiles, furniture, art, accessories. My suggestion is to start with foundational pieces that have longevity. From there you can layer in different colors and textures with the other pieces you’ll need to complete the room.

COMMONALITY

Finally, find an element that be carried throughout the space, like color or texture.  Your goal is to create depth and dimension while still having a cohesive look.
