YES! Matching pieces of furniture has truly become passé. Mixing furniture styles is in and in these days of individuality and openness …here to stay. Thank God!
Most people can’t and don’t buy furniture for the whole house in one go. For some its budget constraints …others can’t find pieces they like and many of us already have inherited furniture pieces we do not want to throw away. However, even if none of the above apply …please do refrain from buying coordinated pieces for the whole room. You don’t match your shoes and your bag ….do you now? And if you do …. well I rest my case!
Mixed furniture done well can actually find a nice medium between formal and grown, free and playful, individualistic yet classy.
But how does one mix with élan and style without making your house look straight out of flea market or look like one crazy mess?
