Many times, we tend to fight the million thoughts on how to best represent our personalities within our interior design, with different styles battling to take precedence. Sure, sleek and simple works in some rooms, but other homes are brought to life with a bold and brilliant clashing of various materials. The good news is that you do not need to be hesitant when it comes to mixing and matching pieces, as the blending of home decor styles is easier than it seems when done right.

Need help bringing it all together? Between eye-catching layouts, bold schemes, and unexpected textures, UAE’s homegrown interior decor and furniture brand Al Huzaifa delivers lavish designs for you to nail those opulent decor ideas. The trick to nailing them? Hold on, we will tell you.

 

A few rules to keep in mind when mixing materials in your home 

·  Opposites Attract: Imagine if you walked into a room and every surface was covered in the exact same type of material in the same shade. After getting over the initial shock factor, you would likely find the room extremely boring. In this admittedly unlikely scenario, to keep a space interesting, it needs to have contrast. Easily enough, utilizing two or more contrasting shades of colour will create the strongest impact within the room. 

·  Be Dominant: Although it can be compelling to mix metals in our interiors, it’s important to choose one that is dominant throughout. Decide if gold, silver, bronze, or a rose-tone should be the most prominent and pair it with one or two other shiny hues to ensure the room has just enough lustre without completely overpowering the look. For example, a modern marble dining table with golden metallic legs can easily be combined with golden wired metallic chairs whilst using contrasting cutlery set in silver as well as dining ware with silver trim in order to add charm and texture.

· Playing with Furniture: Modular sofas, floating shelves, and furnishings with countless colour and size variations can be seen as the interiors trend of the season. To give your place a cohesive look, repeat shapes, colours, and patterns throughout the room. Try placing outdoor furniture inside the home for a unique aesthetic. Apart from colour and size, selection and positioning are equally important. Add a vortex mirrored coffee table and chaise lounge together with round pedestal side tables and a fringed velvet sofa in order to achieve balance.
