Mix and Match styles

With the variety of interior design styles available today, we tend to blend more styles together to make a space appear distinct.

Mixing different styles in your home can work well as each style has a story to tell and the mix that will result from the new combination will be the synthesis of your personality and your taste.

Do you own antique furniture, perhaps that belonged to your grandmother or great-grandmother?
