Mixing and matching furniture is an easy way to transform a living space and create a unique look that reflects your personal taste. Although you have the option of purchasing sets with complementary pieces, you may want to channel your inner interior designer to give your home a truly personalized touch. Here are some suggestions to customize your living space. 

How to Mix & Match Furniture

1. Focus on Colors

It’s easy to choose colors that match each other, but if you want to breathe new life into a space, take a cue from the area rugs, window treatments, artwork, or other accessories. Coordinate your furniture colors with those hues instead of focusing on just one. Involving all of the elements in the room will produce a more unified, cohesive look.

2. Mix Materials

Just because one element is made from wood doesn’t mean that everything else has to follow suit. A mixed-media suite full of different textures and materials contributes to a beautifully curated, thoughtfully designed space. A room with a leather sofa, a chrome table with a glass tabletop, and a plush rug looks sleek, modern, and welcoming all at once. A glossy wood table and a velvet fabric sofa will give off a more period-inspired design.

3. Choose Different Styles

In the same vein, all of your furniture and home accessories don’t need to come from the same family. There are many different decorative elements that play well with one another. To make this work, select one style as your primary focus—all contemporary, for example, or all rustic. Select one or two accent pieces from an opposing style group to create an interior design that is pleasing to the eye.
