At many points in our life we will inevitably get bored and tired with the same old décor, it’s just one of those facts of life that we all come across. Usually it’s not so much that we don’t like the décor, after all we chose that style perhaps 5 or 10 years previous. The issue is that times change and with the changing of times the changing of décor also moves forward at a particularly alarming pace.
You only need to take a look at the styles of the 60’s, which moved dramatically when the 70’s landed and so forth.
However in today’s society a lot of the old styles have been blended in with modern elements, and that’s why we are about to highlight 5 ways to mix and match your home décor.
Prints and attractive colors
Prints have become a modern day touch of class to living rooms, hallways and many other rooms in the house. Usually canvas prints are the more popular styles and these can be purchased from many local stores as well as online.
The big attraction with prints is the cost and customization methods, you see, they are relatively cheap but you can also create your own styles or capture your own high resolution photos on the wall.
These timeless classics will never grow old, especially family portraits or baby photos that are now a part of the décor.
Mix these prints with attractive colors and you are onto a winner. Make sure that carpets, furniture and wall colors all blend nicely matching checks with strips in a simple contemporary manner.
No-fuss pattern with wallpaper
Sometimes the simple additions tend to do the best, so think about no-fuss patterns if you want to keep your living room looking simple and elegant to the eye. Try to brighten up the room with some color wallpaper but don’t overdo it if you want to keep a professional modern look.
Mix Match patterns with lines
Matching stripes with checks used to be frowned upon but when they are done right you can really envisage the classic look. Firstly you will need to make sure that all the colors match each other otherwise you aren’t going to pull this look off.
Another key area is to look into the size of the stripes and the size of the checks, it may seem like an over-dramatic thing to do but it can make all the difference if you get the sizes right.
Use pattern with polka dots
Polka dots are a classic throwback to the 60’s era and believe it or not they are making a comeback in homes right across the country. Just like checked patterns are blending with stripes, so to can polka dots.
Mainly used on carpets rather than furniture, these polka dots can be all one size or a mixture of different sizes to give your room life and passion.
Contrast carpets
Finally we look at contrast carpets, a tip that was offered to us by Bliss Cleaning, in which for those of you that don’t know use the same pattern throughout the carpet but they also blend in different color varieties that just work so well together. This is a fairly new concept to homes and we are expecting this to take off over the coming years.
