Well..your house, your choice. The mixed aesthetic may be jarring to some, edgy to others.
Always appreciate your professional input, Lisa.

My rule for mixing and matching pretty much anything from colors to patterns to styles is, "Things that are very similar play well and things that are opposite play well." You want either harmony or juxtaposition. The in between is where things get ugly.

A super glamorous velvet couch is going to look fabulous against a raw brick wall. Those things are polar opposites. They have nothing in common whatsoever. A blue and white overstuffed sofa covered in floral chintz is going to look out of place against a raw brick wall. Flowers are brick are both "natural looking, " but they're not the same kind of natural looking. They're both matte, but they're not the same kind of matte.

I love all the visuals and the explanations of why things work or don’t work. Very helpful.😊

Something just occurred to me that I'm amazed never came to mind before. (And let me preface this saying this is *not* a criticism.)

*Could this advice **_be_** any more American?*

So, now I'm wondering...are the design styles and vocabulary North Americans have heard and assumed for decades the same as or similar to those from other Western countries (Europe, Australia, the U.K., for ex.), or are they a bit or a lot different from other places' designs?

I know the Scandinavian style, for example, is obviously _from_ there in the first place, but Lisa mentioned a number of styles that seem very specific to the U.S. and I wonder if someone in Germany or New Zealand ever thinks of utilizing some of those 'American' designs?

As a Canadian *I've grown up assuming a sort of universality of design styles, * at least to a degree. Though I also think of ones like Moroccan or Scandinavian as obviously originating from, and common to those types of places. I don't know. This video has got me thinking about aspects other than just the specfic principles presented.

Im living on a tropical farm in hawaii and I keep hoping you will do an episode on how to do casual tropical without white couches and doesn’t get kitschy.

Hi Lisa! I love all of your videos. They’re so helpful! My big dilemma is whether I can mix different types of millwork on the walls in different rooms. ie: square panels in one room and picture frame molding in the next. Or different styles of wainscoting, etc. Which styles goes with tongue and grove on the ceiling, etc. designs for transitional, etc. In other words, how to mix and match “wood” wall and ceiling designs. And baseboards…and trim…😂 ant thoughts would be helpful 🎉 thanks so much!

These rules must be why I almost never see a hybrid or mashup of my two faves, minimalism and neoclassical. They are centuries apart chronologically. But they DO have certain thematic similarities conceptually (proportion, clean lines, symmetry, etc) so they CAN work. A minimalist version of neoclassicism or minimalism with some hits of neoclassicism. I want a cross between John Pawson and Robert Adam. Something fairly close to these is the Hotel Santa Clara 1728 in Lisbon--SO on my bucket list: contemporary minimalism inside an 18th-century envelope. Or grand Hausmannian apartments in Paris done with minimal amounts of furniture, art, accessories. But, anyway, the point is that mixing minimalism and neoclassical is VERY difficult, methinks; it CAN be done but it takes someone who knows what they're doing (like Lisa 😁) to make it work.

I do like to juxtapose the somber with the sublime....but that's just me.

Interior designing requires time for planning before execution. 🧡🧡

[MARIOLANZO]

Hi Lisa, I usually agree with your takes but this one not so much…respectfully. To wit, my apartment’s style is minimal eclectic where I group all the design styles I love: industrial (the first design style I’ve ever loved as a result of watching ‘90s cable TV), Haussmann (‘cause I live in Paris) and floral/tropical bursts (having grown up in the Caribbean). And funny enough it works! The trick I find is to have a leading style, keep the bones or structural furniture the same (colour/hue) & your functional metals one colour: then go to town. But most of all, only bring into the home pieces you absolutely love (and in my case, need!).

Great video! I haven’t heard anyone else speaking about this but makes so much sense

I am thinking of trying to mix art nouveau and art deco.

[pruzzilla]

I can see these rules if a room was predominately one style, but I have elements of several styles in my house and they all play well together. I have a few vintage pieces, industrial black/metal, traditional, mid century, and even a few pops of contemporary, but there is not one particular style that is trying to own any room. I think my style would be considered eclectic. I will admit, until I get a room that is perfect to my eye, I am constantly editing. I think the hardest part for me in my living room was the different woods. There are 4 different wood tones and while three of them like each other, there is one console table that must be moved elsewhere when I find a replacement for it. It screams "I don't belong in here!"

[ellikatachana]

I think there are more styles that go together. A more handy categorisation, I think, would be the traditional, transitional, contemporary. I am working on a my summer house in a seaside town outside Athens. Naturally, modern coastal/ lakehouse would be the go to. However, there are some neoclassical unique Greek elements like trimmings, ceiling medallions that (in cleaner more modern lines) look so sophisticated and elevate the style. Also, a lot of inspiration comes from the surroundings which enrich the colour pallette (pops), and choice of furniture. Transitional is my fav and mixing a streamlined sofa with a couple of re upholstered deco armchairs in blue lightly stripped fabric and lighter wood tone work so well together and make the coastal/lakehouse so chic.

Have you done a video on British Colonial/ West Indies and how to mix those styles? Or what styles they can mix with?

[nirvanasanctuary]

Hey Lisa, I love your way of explaining things, really helps me pull ideas together. Could you possibly give me a point in the right direction with my living room - It's a (tiny) Victorian Terrace in the UK, square room, crown mouldings & ceiling rose. I'm drawn to the British Colonial style but don't want it too on the nose, what other styles should I look into to compliment it? Victorian would be the obvious one but I find it too formal & fussy so I'm kinda stuck

[juliemarkham]

What about modern farmhouse and industrial?

[Elan]

Western/ Desert Modern works or Arab/Desert Modern

"Not while I'm looking " 😅😂

[annlavine]

I have some pieces and I do not know they style
