How To Professionally Mix Interior Styles

December 9, 2020 by Maya

If you find sticking to one specific style boring and uninspiring, this blog will help you to decorate your home the way you want, while still making it look professional, cohesive and unique.

There are actually very few pure decorating styles, many are blended from different movements, ideas or periods.

The goal when mixing interior styles, is to create a space that can be viewed as a whole. You want the space to look unified and effortless. Why not try these following tips to help achieve this.

Limit Your Interior Colour Palette

Visually, you notice a contrast in colours more than anything else. What can make a room look badly mismatched, is too many colours distracting each piece in the room making it stand alone. By choosing a strict colour palette, this will help your rooms throughout the house feel cohesive, no matter the variation in style.

Prioritise The Function Of The Room

You can get lost in the endless, different interior styles. When trying to mix design styles, it can start to feel confusing where the origin of each piece comes from. Making function the priority of your space can mean the stress of understanding pieces doesn’t matter, as the room will look put together due to its function.

Smaller Details Can Make A Big Difference

Adding smaller doses of your chosen interior styles can help to build and blend your interior. This will help to project your chosen styles through not just furniture but key accessories. These smaller items can help inject some key colours, patterns or textures into the room, which can create a familiar yet stunning look. The final outcome helps to achieve a sense of play into the room instead of it looking random.

Match Your Wood Types

Keeping your tones of wood consistent will help to tie pieces together no matter the different era or styles they come from. Look for furniture or designer replica chairs that are available in different wood variations to make the decision making process a lot easier.

All Your Furniture Doesn’t Need To Be New

Mixing styles allows you the freedom to shop from different eras. A great way to achieve a laidback look for your interior is to add some vintage inspired pieces. This allows you to develop your interior style over time, you can find key pieces along the way that you love without rushing to purchase it all at once.

Don’t Be Afraid To Use Your Own Initiative

When it comes to interior design, a lot of rules are put in place, but in reality a lot of these decorating rules can’t work in all spaces. These suggestions may be impacted by personal preference, space available, budget and style you are looking to achieve.

Feel free to break such rules or even start to make your own, the key to creating a home that you are proud of is to follow your heart and set out to achieve what you want, not what other people do to their own homes.
