From these areas up to Memphis and further north/northeast, the color tones become darker. Choices, such as mahogany wood accents instead of teakwood begin to appear, and you see more colored wall paint than stark white. This has been the general way of things for many years, she said, though she sees many clients who go for lighter tones seen in coastal areas. The look screams clean, fresh, nice, and new (even if it is not). For a person like me who loves things from every style possible, it is helpful to follow neutral tones because it forces you to limit all décor-related decisions during times of purchasing.
Elements like the fireplace, rug, and lighting all have a shabby chic style. The seating is centered around the coastal look derived from a rustic French traditional style. People often add modern touches, such as an acrylic coffee table, white ceramic garden stool, and a sleek curtain rod.
Combining all the aforementioned sounds a bit scattered and unorganized, but the style can be beautifully executed by sticking to a lovely neutral color palette and choosing one or two contrasting colors to add dimension, such as blue and charcoal.
According to another interior designer, there are many eclectic elements seen in interior styling today. Making a space diverse is not about just throwing random things you like together. Instead, it is finding a sense of cohesion between the pieces that have been thoughtfully placed together in their design. This is particularly important in today’s trending styles because it is mixing designs from varying eras together into one room so it can quickly look misplaced if not executed properly.
