We love mixing styles to create memorable spaces. Pairing antique furnishings with contemporary lines can really enhance the aesthetic look of a room, but if done improperly it can upset the balance.
CasaSugar has provided some tips you should keep in mind when bringing these two very different design styles together.
- Give them something in common. Qualities like a similar silhouette, texture or material can bridge the gap between two very different items.
- Think about proportion. If a piece is very bold, either place it alongside less showy items to let it make a statement; or harmonize with similarly-proportioned pieces.
- Add context. Details matter…from the right-hued frame for artwork to the color of the wall behind it. Getting these little things right makes a surprisingly big difference.
