Interior design is a field, sometimes it is a battlefield, in which many different opinions clash with each other. Whereas some like it comfortable and cozy, minimalists tend to reduce their interior to the most essential stuff, keeping it clean. Then again, there are people like grandma who simply like to collect things, proudly exhibited on countless shelves, until there is almost no space left. I still love you, grandma.
Well, finding your own unique style is a very ambitious goal and definitely not a walk in the park. But let me assure you that self-confidence is the way to go. Don’t be afraid of combining different styles because a bit of modern eclecticism has the potential to make your home stand out.
Here are a couple of tips on how to combine different styles successfully.
Contrasts! They bring excitement into your home. Black and white, old and new, romanticism and roughness. Try it out. Contrasts will fill your four walls with life.
Modern, graphical elements can distract from the old-fashionableness of your antique furniture, which all in all makes the room much friendlier.
Sure, furniture in all-white can look very impressive. But trust me, you don’t want your room to look like a doctor’s office. Add in small colorful accentuations and drown the cleanness in a pleasant and discreet colorfulness that will make your home appear exponentially cozier.
