Do you love really sleek, modern designs but like traditional details, too? Do you like both a lot of color as well as spaces that are peaceful and monochromatic? You don’t necessarily have to choose one or the other when you love two wildly different design styles. In fact, there are two successful ways to include both styles in your home and your heart. To mix two different styles in one room, pick one to be the primary style.

So you have a huge open space on your hands? Great! Not so great is the feeling that it’s just one big, undefined area. Never fear. You can strategically use the things you already have to create separate zones and get your space organized. Try these tricks. Want something to look different than everything around it? Paint it a different color! It’s one of the easiest and fastest ways to create definition. Furniture doesn’t have to stick to the walls!
