You have a unique personality, and it makes sense to design and furnish your home in a way that reflects your preferences and stamps your sense of style on each room. Putting your signature on each room design doesn’t mean you have to conform to the same design philosophy. If you really like the idea of having some ultra-chic living room furniture, for instance, you don’t have to replicate the same trend elsewhere in your home....For More READ THE FULL STORY▶▶
When it comes to design rules, who says that you have to conform?
Break the monotony
Most importantly, it pays to be mindful that aesthetic monotony can actually become a bit boring if it is repeated in every room.
Be brave, and experiment with different styles and design influences. As long as you pick different styles that have the ability to complement each other rather than clashing, you can still achieve a beautifully cohesive look without sticking to the same style throughout.
The key to mixing and matching is to maintain a level of continuity in the design process. You will instinctively know what feels right and what works. You will also know when something isn’t giving you the look and feel that you are after in your room.
A design blueprint that reflects your unique personality
Whether you are really into bold and striking colors, or you prefer a more understated look, these personal preferences help you to formulate a design blueprint that works throughout your home.
It is fair to say that mixing styles in different rooms is not always that easy, but getting some trend ideas that inspire you can help provide a useful guide to how you can put all of it together in the right way.
A good example of how you can mix and match successfully would be if you went for really bold and striking colors in your kitchen, to make a statement, but opted for more conventional paler colors in your living room.
Take a bit of time to research some examples of color schemes and themes in design and home magazines. You are bound to find some inspiration in there that you can apply to your own home.
How to make everything work together
There are some basic design ground rules to follow that can help you achieve a seamless flow of designs and colors throughout your home.
The color scheme you choose is one of the most important aspects. If you don’t manage to get the colors used in a room to complement each other when you walk around the house, that lack of connection will become obvious. Different shades of the same color can help make everything flow. For instance, a dark blue in your living room and a paler blue in your dining room will help both rooms to connect.
Another key point would be to use defined styles for each room that connects. An ultra-modern contemporary living room design with funky furniture wouldn’t look right next to a farmhouse style kitchen design, for instance. A lot of design tips are based on common sense. You can put your own unique stamp on how you design and furnish your home, just think about how it all works together, so that you get the best results.…For More READ THE FULL STORY ▶▶
