mixing mission furniture with other styles

Most styles are a blend of several different eras and periods. But is her style one that you would define as Classic Contemporary?I would also be interested in the topic another reader suggested – how to decorate your house if you like everything. No kids. )If you have one element that is staying but doesn’t have anything in common with anything else in the space, make it a focal point and instead of competing, it will stand alone.A perfect example would be a light fixture that is a different color or finish than anything else in the room, or maybe it is really big and much bigger in scale than the other elements you have going on in the room. I think my apartment is 80 contemporary minimalist and 20 more exotic styles, natural materials, and a beachy feel – I have no idea what that style would be called?

People have often asked me what style it is.

We are having fun, buying a lot of new things. Never mind. How to choose the direction to take?! This is so important! xoxoLaurel, just a brilliant and helpful post!

That’s ok. Better selection than DWR, imho.Thanks for that info.
You could write a dozen more on this subject & it would never get old.I’m not really sure about that.

Thank you for taking the time to do this I’m on vacation now, but “look out” when I get home!

The 80/20 rule is great, and I definitely agree about grouping things by color and texture, not just style, because I’m very bright and minimalist while he’s more into traditional masculine style. Instead subtly mix in a style or two and have one of those styles evident in the other space so that there’s something that ties them together.You did a great job of explaining these tips in mixing decor styles.

Let's start with a baseline set of facts: Very few people decorate with furniture sets these days. I’m using most of what we already own, but have or will be purchasing a few new pieces, and while I love my current style (which I would describe as cozy traditional cottage with a bit of rustic), I want to change things up a little for a fresh look. The best way to draw too much attention to one style is to group too many things of that style together.

Knowing how they coexist in design history will help you tie in the pieces together using color palettes or materials.

When society began to shift toward mass production, the craftsman movement pushed back by embracing the artistic value of hand-crafted furniture and decor.

Design styles are usually birthed when designers (or even homemakers) take the best of certain periods or fashions and incorporate these elements into homes. OMG is that a run-on sentence or what! It always helps to start a room with one focus object and build from there. I love to mix traditional and contemporary.
I’ve got a lot of reading to do to catch up on your past posts!Thanks for such a sweet comment. Another way to mix and match furniture styles with ease is to envision a theme.

Thank you so much for these informations and tips!

One consideration that has been quite tricky for me is the small size of my abode: I’ve had to balance my love of busy-ness and pattern with a need to keep my small space feeling open by keeping walls light in tonal value and most of, but not all, furniture compact. I HAVE 2 UPHOLSTERED CHAIRS DESIGNED TO COORDINATE WITH MY SOFA, HOW EVER THEY ARE THE LESS EXPENSIVE PIECES FOR ME TO CHANGE. His things always have these long conversations at night:)OK..now you see that not only I’ll read your other 50 posts on the subject, I’ll also find a way to write a long illegible comment after each one:)Haha! I raised two grimy rambunctious little boys– strapping young men now!Laurel, you somehow always know when I need you to write about something I am struggling with. If you have wood floors, this would be your dominant wood tone. The hardest thing when it comes to mixing styles is probably when it comes to the accessories. LOLHahaha. It’s so much fun to spend time with her in a place that is full of her personality. This works especially well with small items.1- Items on a dresser can often be a bit random, but keeping them all the same color makes it look like everything goes together.2- This coffee table is perfect. The same way you should pay attention to scale, you should also look to balance the different materials in the room so as to not end up with a room full of mid-brown wood tones.

We just decorate how we like.

— anyway, the quote, that the young designer now uses as a guideline, is:I think that’s how my rooms make me feel — kind of like an ongoing dinner party, but with objects…Hi Laurel- don’t shoot me if this is a question you’ve already answered, okay? I would point to Barbara Barry’s style as an example of Transitional. Or did you mean the Barcelona Chair?

This is so helpful! (The buddy system we talked about earlier. Such as having young children or pets around.
