Dare to Mismatch Your Furniture

Fashion is mismatched, the fusion of elements that at first glance would not seem to be able to coexist.
We find this trend in almost all artistic fields. Whether in the fashion sector with its mixtures of shapes, patterns and colors or in the music sector with the fusion of seemingly contradictory musical trends, the “mix & match” is found everywhere.
And of course the world of design and decoration are no exception.
But what is commonly used and accepted in other areas is less so in the area that interests us, namely furniture.
However, you have to know how to dare these mixtures which are able to create a trendy and modern decor that will be remembered.
The leitmotif: mix absolutely everything to surprise.
You can mismatch the furniture by mixing the old and the modern, by mixing the colors, the materials, the dimensions…
The trend is heterogeneous, mixing styles, it’s all a matter of taste… and audacity.

There are countless materials around the world today. Some have existed for millennia and are the basis of our industries, while new ones emerge every year and prefigure the products of tomorrow.

You can opt for synthetic or natural materials for your furniture. The idea here is to mix them in order to bring freshness and the unexpected.

Some combinations are already commonly used, such as wood with fabric or even leather (or imitation leather) with metal.

Dare to mix materials like imitation leather and plastic that will give an "industrial chic" effect that is very fashionable at the moment.

Or even combine metal with plastic and wood for a "Scandinavian industrial" result.

Until a few years ago, it was customary to define an improbable mixture of colors as a “failure of taste”.
But today in decoration, everything unites, combines, mixes and “disorder” becomes trendy.
There is absolutely no longer any color that cannot be associated with another.
By forgetting the dictates of complementary or triadic colors, everything becomes possible…the formerly ugly and old-fashioned becomes today beautiful and attractive.

The mismatched does not stop at materials and colors, you can also mix different sizes and shapes.
For example, you can combine chairs with armchairs or use tables of different sizes.
For an offbeat style, you can also place chairs of completely different models around a table. This variety brings a playful side and a breath of fresh air that will surprise you.
Accessories are also included. For example, it is possible to layer smaller rugs on a larger rug to personalize its space.

All these elements combined make it possible to create unique decorations. New styles have emerged in recent years as a result of experiments of this type. Like for example the Japandi which mixes Asian and Scandinavian influences. The only watchword is to dare to surprise.
