Mixing Design Genres to Get the Look That is Truly Yours

Sometimes we can trap ourselves within a specific style. We might really like our chosen style, but at the same time it can feel restrictive and we feel forced to exclude pieces we love but don’t think fits our space. But, in the world of interior design, there are no strict rules. It’s a realm where creativity knows no bounds, and boundaries between design genres blur beautifully. Mixing different design styles can breathe life into any space, creating a unique and personalized ambiance that reflects your personality. At Eangee, we believe in the power of diversity in design, and our eclectic range of products seamlessly integrates into various design genres. Let’s explore how you can mix design genres to get the look that is truly yours.

Embrace Contrast in Genres

One of the keys to successfully merging design genres is to embrace contrast. Pairing contrasting elements like modern and rustic, or minimalist and maximalist, adds visual interest and depth to your space. For instance, combine sleek, contemporary furniture with earthy textures and natural materials. Introduce our Eangee

Lamps, crafted from sustainable materials like cocoa leaves or warm woods, to infuse warmth and organic charm into your modern setting.

Focus on Cohesion

While mixing styles, it’s essential to maintain cohesion to prevent the space from feeling disjointed. Look for common threads that can tie disparate elements together, such as color palette, texture, or theme. For example, if you’re blending Scandinavian and Bohemian styles, opt for a neutral base palette with pops of vibrant hues and layer textures like wood, rattan, and wool. Our Eangee Lamps in neutral tones with intricate handcrafted details can serve as unifying elements that bridge the gap between different design aesthetics.

Curate Thoughtfully

Terri from Virginia Beach, VA mixes beach themes with warm beach sign, classical mermaid statue, distressed multi colored mirror, and Eangee’s multi-colored empire lamp shade.

Curating a cohesive collection of furnishings and decor items is paramount when amalgamating design genres. Select pieces that resonate with you personally while complementing each other in style and function. Incorporate statement pieces like our giant floor lamps. They’re completely handmade and have an incredible story that take them from being just a lamp to really being a piece of art. This adds not just visual interest but also conveys a sense of eco-consciousness and ethical design ethos.

Experiment with Mixing Texture and Pattern

Texture and pattern play pivotal roles in design, adding depth, dimension, and visual intrigue to a space. Don’t shy away from mixing textures and patterns from various design styles to create a harmonious yet dynamic environment. Combine smooth surfaces with rough textures, geometric patterns with organic motifs, and bold prints with subtle embellishments. Our Eangee Lamps come in an array of textures and patterns, from overlapping to intricately hand-cut leaves, offering endless possibilities for creative expression and style fusion.
