If you share your home with a partner or friend it\u2019s important that the space reflects both of your personalities. It might seem tricky to find a way to blend divergent styles, but today I\u2019m highlighting simple ways in which you can merge two or more distinct interior designs to suit shared living. Live alone and have a penchant for different styles? This blog post is for you, too!<\/p>\n
Rinse and Repeat<\/strong><\/p>\n To achieve a unified look in your home repetition is important. When blending two or more styles together a repeated colour scheme, texture or specific pattern can be utilised to bring different looks together. For example, if one person likes a lot of rustic wood furniture and another prefers sleek lines and black accents, splashes of green can help to soften and blend the two.<\/p>\n Accessorise Strategically<\/strong><\/p>\n To allow for a flowing design that is easy on the eye be sure to evenly distribute your accessories and any statement pieces. It\u2019s likely that if you live with a partner or friend you\u2019ll have an eclectic collection of \u2018stuff\u2019 so by dotting these around the house, rather than creating a cluster effect, you\u2019ll create a quirky but aesthetically pleasing home.<\/p>\n Find Visual Balance<\/strong><\/p>\n The most important thing to remember is to choose decorative items of a similar proportion. Doing so will add a pleasing symmetry to your mismatched space. This allows for varying tastes to come together and still appear cohesive. For example, if you hang a large statement mirror, hang a framed print or wall hanging of a similar visual weight on the opposite wall to create that much-needed balance.<\/p>\n Do Try This at Home<\/strong><\/p>\n If you\u2019re struggling to find styles that work well together why not give these tested interior designs a try:<\/p>\n Image source: Clair Strong Interior Design If you share your home with a partner or friend it\u2019s important that the space reflects both of your personalities.
