Do you know your decorating style? Most of us have more than one style. Let’s talk about how you can mix your decorating styles together to make your home look cohesive.
The secret of mixing two styles is to follow the 80/20 rule. Choose one of your styles to be 80 percent in a room or space and 20 percent can be the other style. The classic was to choose 80 percent in larger pieces and let the 20 percent be the accessories in the space.
Choose 3 to 4 colours while picking a colour palette and stick to it. This will help in achieving a cohesive space. Another key element to mixing styles is to choose accents and furniture pieces throughout the space to achieve a balanced look.
This bedroom is an example of mixing transitional style with coastal style. So we have the larger furniture pieces like a bed, nightstands, dresser and accent chairs in a transitional style and mixed up accent pieces like sisal rug, glass base table lamps and greenery through plants and vases and artwork in coastal style.
Lastly, let's not forget about pillows. Pillows are one of the major decor pieces to bridge the gap and help us make a connection with space as soon as we come into the room! So choose them wisely.
In summary, it's just a little bit of planning but in the end, will all come together.
