Interior Design Tricks to Have a Multiple Style Home – Play with your interior design project by mixing and matching different decor styles. If you follow this rules, I’m sure that nothing can go wrong!
Functionality is the main key: Sometimes, our sense of style is too big to be defined by just one particular aesthetic, and sometimes two looks really are better than one. Everybody thinks that mix and matching design styles is as hard, but in reality, it’s quite simple. Here are 4 fundamental rules that will turn you into an expert on the subject!
The first step to hybrid successful design starts at the planning process of the interior design project. You need to keep the functionality of the room elements in mind! While every room needs aesthetic touches, those should take a back seat to functional items. Ideally, the purpose of the room will be clear to the eye.
Include a common element: When you’re trying to combine two different styles that don’t really go together, every room should include design elements that have common threads to pull them together. For example, the color scheme is a nice way to combine all of the details from the style that you choose. When mixing and matching different looks, a common shade is often the great equalizer.
The 80/20 Rule: I know this rule doesn’t sound familiar but if you follow it, the result on your design project will amazing. The 80/20 rule is a way to make sure that both of the design styles you’re using end up working together, rather than fighting against each other. It’s important that you attribute to each one a definitive role to play in the project.
Once you do that, you need to devote 80% of the room’s design to one style, that is going to be that one that you like the most. This design theme is going to be the main focus of the project, having an influence on your choice of colors, furniture, lighting, flooring, etc. On the other hand, your second style will take on more of a background role since it is 20 % of your decor project. In this half, you might opt for a unique piece of furniture or an exquisite accessory that goes really well with the room’s aesthetic.
The beauty behind the Character Pieces: When I talk about the character pieces, I’m referring to those furniture pieces that don’t seem to fit in the rooms design theme. Many people try to hide it, but the secret is on doing precisely the opposite. Rather than trying to hide that piece away, only to have it ultimately stand out like a sore thumb, I suggest that you make it the stand out of the room. If you’re into taking risks, you can highlight it and make it the focal point of your design project!
