Are you and your partner grappling with finding common ground when it comes to decorating your home?
Rest assured, you’re not alone in this journey! Many of our clients seek our assistance because they find it challenging to agree on design decisions, often leading to heated debates. At Curated Home Designs, our mission is to create a harmonious living space, and one of our specialties is blending styles to ensure everyone feels comfortable. This blog will provide you with some valuable tips on how to blend design styles elegantly.
Understanding Your Unique Styles:
Each of you has a unique preference for design, which makes your home special. We suggest going online separately and gathering images of what your dream home would look like. Once you have your design inspiration, sit down and discuss what you like about each image. This way, you can both contribute to the design process and ensure that your unique styles are reflected in your home.
Compromise and Communication:
While you review your inspiration images, discuss the aspects of your styles that are non-negotiable and where you’re willing to be flexible. This conversation is crucial for setting the foundation for collaboration.
Bringing in a Professional:
An interior designer can be your best ally in blending contrasting styles. Those non-negotiables may keep you at a standstill, but with a professional aboard, they will likely come up with creative ideas on how to jump those hurdles.
Finding Common Ground:
Look for common themes in your images, such as color, bold artwork, or texture/fabrics, that show up. The designer can integrate these elements into the overall design to create balance.
Creating Zones:
If certain rooms are more significant to one partner than the other, consider leaning a little heavier toward that person’s style while giving little nods to the other.
Don’t let your design differences cause friction in your relationship. Embrace the opportunity to blend your styles and create a home that reflects your unique personality as a couple. With the guidance of a skilled designer, you can turn your contrasting visions into a harmonious and beautiful living space that you both adore.
