Insider Tips: Mixing Styles
Mixing Styles: Farmhouse + Industrial
Sometimes you fall in love with pieces from different Room Capsules — maybe the sofa from a Mid-Century capsule, the rug from a Coastal capsule, and a lamp from something a little more modern or traditional. That’s completely normal. And it’s on point with designer trends.
The key is balance. Designers often blend modern, vintage, and classic pieces in the same space, but they keep the room cohesive by aligning the color palette, materials, or textures. When colors repeat throughout the room, different styles start to feel intentional — not random. That’s the real designer trick behind rooms that look layered, collected, and effortlessly stylish.
Style Pairings Designers Love
Some design styles naturally complement each other, making them easy to mix.
Mid-Century + Scandinavian
Clean lines, natural woods, and simple shapes make these two styles blend beautifully.
Modern + Traditional
Modern furniture paired with classic rugs or lighting creates a timeless balance.
Coastal + Modern
Light colors, natural textures, and simple silhouettes work seamlessly together.
Industrial + Farmhouse
Warm woods soften industrial metals for a rustic but modern feel.
Boho + Mid-Century
Vintage shapes mixed with layered textiles create a relaxed, curated look.
