MIX & MATCH

Create a stylishly cohesive space using different interior themes

Sticking to one interior style can be hard, especially if you have a mixed collection of furniture with different themes. But, who says that your new

Scandinavian bookshelf can’t happily coexist with your beloved mid-century couch?

To help style your way to success, Vivi She, head of buying and quality from Lifely, shares her expertise on how to create perfect harmony when mixing themes.

MAKE A MOODBOARD

To set a vision, the best place to start is by creating a moodboard.

“You can play around with the placement of furniture, paint shades, tiles and home decor to see how strongly they complement one another,” says She. “It’s such a helpful way to visualise, and even Pinterest is launching it as an in-app feature.”

“Apps like Milanote are also useful, or you can do it old-school with a pin-up board and tactile references,” She adds.
