Eras and interior design

Hey Chicago! It’s that time again. 

Some homeowners tend to shy away from incorporating a variety of interior design trends for spring and summer since they may prefer a minimalist way of decorating. Instead of mixing mid-century pieces with contemporary accessories, they tend to create two separate areas for each style. That’s a mistake! Most people do not realize that by mixing mid-century and contemporary styles together can actually give their home a more curated look and will make your space appear more interesting.

The best approach to combining styles from different eras is to make sure that you don’t overdo it. Aim for harmony and balance and try to come up with one common denominator to tie everything together.

Chicago home designers tend to source out this year minimal but impactful changes - therefore, so are we. With light colors for smaller spaces and by painting wood elements in plain white (even though this might be the most common interior design idea for beach houses and cottages) you can achieve great results. We advise towards this step for one reason: painting in bright colors can make your space look more alive and put together.
