How to Mix Modern and Traditional Style

Modern and Traditional Style

How to Decorate Your Home with Modern and Traditional Styles One of the things we love about decorating is that you can combine styles, materials, colors, and textures to create unique spaces that adapt to your personality and lifestyle.

One of our favorite combinations is to create environments with a vintage touch by blending classic style with modern style. In this way, we give new life to the most classic style products in more modern spaces, providing a touch of style and elegance that only years can give us.

In this article, we explain exactly how to bring these old and new sensibilities into your own home.

Let's start with the simplest.

To create a space that leans more toward a more classic style, start with key pieces that draw on traditional style. For example, the upstairs space combines timeless designs like a gray sofa, country art, a modern-style lamp, and a classic rug. The result is a unique room filled with character and warmth.

Mix and match your furniture.

The key is in the mix! So the ideal thing to do is mix vintage furniture found at a flea market with modern furniture purchased from your favorite home improvement store in the same space. The more different styles, the better!

Choose to surprise with a rug.

If your home is made up of minimalist furniture and decorations, go bold with a colorful and striking rug! We love many things about rugs, but one of the main reasons is that they can have a huge impact on the overall look of a room. Add a classic-style rug or a vintage-inspired rug to your modern space. It’s as easy as rolling down a rug!

Never too much.

You may be combining the two styles, but to achieve the modern traditional look, it’s important to scale things back. Too much stuff can make a space feel cluttered and haphazardly decorated, especially when it comes to accessories and smaller decor pieces.

Have fun with the pattern.

We love the idea of ​​combining classic motifs like medallions and fretwork with modern counterparts like geometric figures or flowers. Make sure there is a common thread that unites both styles, such as the tones chosen.

How to choose the color of the carpet?

If the rug is going to be the main focal point when entering the room, it’s best to choose a color that contrasts strongly with the rest of the room. On the other hand, if you want to create a balanced space in the same tones, choose a color that’s similar to the rest of the room.
