We often have fun to mix high and low, old and new and of course different aesthetics. Mixing of all kinds will add interest and character into the space. In order to keep the cohesive vibe overall, we will have to use some common elements to thread through the different layers. And here is the case study for the corner space for the project we recently designed. We would like to create a chic, fresh, elegant, polished decor style while still keeping it inviting and cozy. Here is how we did it—today, we are going to share 6 tips on how we artfully mix high and low, modern and classical, old and new to achieve this goal.
- Rule #1, always keep an overall color palette neutral if you are going to take a mix& match approach.

2. Make an investment on well-crafted furniture since they are big, heavy and most likely, you will stay with them in a very long time. So please, please choose ones you fall in love with and have some cool, fresh design elements attached to these furniture at the same time. If they are chairs, ottoman or sofa, make sure they are super comfortable for you to sit on.

3. It’s all in the details. Please take time to craft and edit your vignettes.
Now it comes to the fun part of mixing-and-matching—styling an ottoman cocktail table. Again, we use bright orange color on the tray to bring in more fashion-forward elements. And a Japanese garden inspired Blue Pagoda pattern bowel is an anchor piece on this cocktail table vignette. The oriental bowel plays with sparkling crystal candle holders and a litter blue crystal rat (yes, 2020 is the year of rat)
