I think one of the biggest challenges people face when completing projects around the house is determining which style they like. I think many people worry when they realize that they have picked things from two different types. Well, I am here to tell you that mixing styles is totally acceptable and great in my opinion. The key to everything in a room is balance. The overall picture of a room can portray your style even if every item in the room is not "your style". When somebody asks you, "what style is your house?" keep in mind that does not mean your home should only have that style in it.
Start by looking at the pictures below and pick which one you like the most. Use that as your guide to pick things out in that particular style group, but do not let it stop you from finding things that you love in another style group to mix in. And remember, your style will constantly be changing...and it is ok...everybody's does!
