The Mix & Match style: the most popular summer furnishing style

Among the best-loved styles of the summer is the Mix & Match style, which gives you the opportunity to renovate your home by mixing different styles. A real trend!

Those who have the desire to renovate various rooms in the home, such as the bedroom, living room and kitchen, and create a completely new atmosphere can try the Mix & Match style. This particular furnishing style sets no limits to the imagination. On the contrary, it combines different styles with each other by combining different motifs, fabrics and accessories to express even the most complex personality.

The Mix & Match style

This style is one of the most popular furnishing trends of recent times as it creates complex and fascinating environments at the same time. Moreover, it allows one not to limit oneself to a single furnishing style. Different patterns and trends are combined in a harmonious and unique design. The important thing is to retain good taste in combining different materials and colour shades. The risk is that the end result is too chaotic! Therefore, mixing different furnishing styles can be done and, if done judiciously, gives your home a sophisticated, lively and decidedly creative look.

The rules of mixing and matching styles

How to mix different furniture styles? Some styles, when mixed together, give the home a dynamic and unique look. Especially those with lively contrasts that can unleash one’s creativity and taste to the maximum. In any case, furnishing following the Mix & Match style is not difficult! The rules are not many, but they are very important. Here are some useful tips:

• When furnishing with the Mix & Match style, as mentioned above, each element must be the result of careful research carried out beforehand. This helps to understand what you want to buy according to your taste. The ideal is to find particular objects in antique shops, and play with the combination of different materials: wood and iron for furniture, linen and satin for fabrics and linens.
• If you are a beginner, it is a good idea to start by not combining more than two styles. Instead, it is good to break the rigour of forms and mix, as mentioned, different materials. One could conceive of an environment where, for example, tables and chairs are not paired but different in terms of lines and materials. In this regard, a 70s chair can be placed side by side with a plastic chair.

• Among other important things to consider is that the styles communicate with each other. This is to create a kind of dialogue between the two. In fact, an industrial-style bookcase may well interact with a country sofa if they succeed in enhancing each other’s main features.
• Creativity and imagination in the Mix & Match style are of paramount importance. Indeed, objects have enormous evocative power. They are able to communicate important messages both to those living in the house and to guests such as friends and relatives as soon as they enter the house.
• Very interesting is the use of colours that characterises Mix & Match, which mainly aims at creating exuberant and whimsical furniture that is at the same time lively and energetic.

Ideas for furnishing your home by mixing different styles

The Mix & Match style that allows you to furnish your home by mixing different styles together is not only sustainable but also fun! In fact, it allows you to salvage and unearth antique objects from flea markets, and then place them with imagination and according to your own flair even in an ultra-modern living room.

Ideas to take inspiration from include, for example, juxtaposing white furniture with colourful ethnic accessories. Or again, it is possible to furnish a room with purely metal furniture in an industrial style with mainly wooden furnishings. The materials to be mixed for a perfect mixed style are various such as:

• aluminium,
• iron,
• steel,
