Are you out on the road to shop furniture? Well, the common clash of one agreeing on some furniture and the other one pointing out at another piece is common. But the real challenge is to mix both choices in a harmless manner.

This blog will help you fight the challenge by suggesting you the tips of combining furniture styles and mixing.

Ideas To Combine Furniture Extraordinarily

When you are mixing furniture styles, you are emphasizing on a dramatic effect and visual presence in the most unusual way. Here are some tips to make you feel “the artist of your home decor”

Pick Your Theme

The first step is to determine a cohesive visual theme in your mind; a unified theme and choice of color scheme play an important role in this. Pick the color wisely as this will be the route to establishing various furniture pieces and combining furniture that best fits. Choose the foundation based on design motifs and color palette that guides your choice.

Center table set

Consider this room’s look, portraying a rustic farmhouse theme. The room features Ehan Solid Ash Wood & Rattan 3 Seater Sofa with a homespun black center table set. Indeed, rattan sofa and solidwood coffee table make the most unexpected pair. To add to it, wood panelled backdrop and wall decor contrast amusingly.

Identify Your Lead Furniture 

One of the best tips for mixing furniture styles is finding out your dominant furniture. It will help you in selecting the overall furniture around this one. The dominant one will bring the tone, while the subordinate furniture pieces will intensify the depth and interest in the room.

Create A Balance Of Proportions

Balance of proportions is one thing you must keep in mind when combining furniture. Wrong proportions of too heavy furniture pieces, or small furniture spread in a room can break harmony in the room. Instead, prefer creating a balance of furniture sizes, like the one pictured below.

Wooden dining table

Experiment With Contrast

The right choice of contrast can help lift up the mood of your room and invite the most unexpected look. Just like pairing a sophisticated leather sofa with an industrial coffee table design. This tip of mixing furniture styles will refine the look of your space.

These are some of the tips on how you must create a cohesive look with the furniture you implement. But at the same time, there are some mistakes that you must avoid because furniture assortments can be difficult at times.

Mistakes To Avoid When Mixing Furniture Styles

Overcrowding The Space

Crowded furniture will distort your idea of home decor, because people will not enjoy lack of legroom or interruption of miscellaneous furniture in abrupt spaces. Create a planogram in advance about the needed furniture and the places where you will keep it. Next, prepare in advance about the furniture pieces in those particular spaces. Thirdly, assess the furniture placements in terms of people’s convenience. With these steps, you can plan furniture whereabouts smartly.

Ignoring Functionality

Don’t delve deeply into the design of furniture without figuring out the functionality. It is important to remember that your furniture should still promote comfort, spaciousness, and storage (if it is a storage furniture).

Lack of Focal Points

Every room needs that anchor furniture dominating a unified look. Whether it be a big-sized wall painting, a leather sofa in dark color or a wall holding antique architectural features, you need to find what will be the best pick here. Select this focal point based on your room type.

Lack of Maintenance

Owning a luxurious furniture will make no sense if you cannot maintain it. Do regular dusting and timely cleaning of your furniture with mild detergent cleaners. After all, a bright and shining furniture piece and a well-maintained room will always be an attention-seeker.
