Evolving Style: Mixing Modern and Tradition

It is a statement of fact that people tend to become bored with the regular style of their homes, this is why re-decorating is so often undertaken to ‘breathe new life’ into a space. However, you can make this a more infrequent occurrence with a few evergreen style choices.

A home that mixes the modern and the more traditional styles create a new dynamic in your home, creating a pleasing space that will help you to resist the urge to redecorate constantly.

But, how do you mix the modern and traditional styles in such a fashion?

Furniture

One of the easiest – and most replaceable – ways to introduce the dual theme of modernity and tradition is to do so through furniture. This will also help to make your redecorating easier when it does happen, as it is much easier to keep a neutral décor around the room (i.e. the walls and flooring) whilst updating the style of the focus of the room.

Through this, you can purchase new rugs, side tables, paintings, and other such furniture in order to help create a new style that helps to blend traditional and modern. This may be done combining a number of traditional pieces with a splash of modern, or vice versa.

Colour

Or rather, the lack of colour. Modern aesthetic is very much about different shades, of black, white, and even grey. Adding colour to this modern style can be the way that adds the traditional style to the mix. Green, in particular, is the colour of 2017 according to experts, so this may be a great

You may also find that more traditional patterns can also be a great way to introduce the past and present into your home’s aesthetic. This can be specially showcased using a stylistic rug, helping to add a splash of colour or a pattern that helps to challenge the otherwise traditional design of the room.

Fireplace

Of course, one way to mix tradition and modernity is through the focal point of your living room; the fireplace. This traditional part of the room can be seen to be outdated at times, with some people entirely replacing the fireplace in favour of central heating. However, it can provide a warming centre for your home and bring a modern twist to a traditional part of your home that you may feel is outdated.
