Combining different interior styles in one space can be a challenging, yet very rewarding task. Whether you’re a fan of minimalist Scandinavian design, want to add a touch of industrial style, or perhaps even want to keep a classic touch – it’s possible to create a harmonious whole. In this blog, you’ll learn how to seamlessly combine multiple styles without it feeling cluttered or disjointed. Discover practical tips and tricks to make your dream interior a reality!

1. Choose a Basic Style as a Foundation
One of the most important tips when mixing styles is to choose a dominant style to use as a base. This creates a sense of cohesion. For example, if you like modern minimalist interiors, start with a clean, simple base: neutral colors, straight lines, and few frills. Then you can add items from other styles, such as a vintage rug or an industrial lamp, without disrupting the harmony.

2. Create Balance in Color Palette
The use of color is crucial when combining different styles. Choose a neutral color palette that connects the different elements. Soft tones such as white, gray, and beige work perfectly as a connecting factor between styles. Then add accents with colors from the other styles. For example, a bohemian ottoman in earth tones can go beautifully with a sleek, modern sofa in neutral colors.
3. Work with Materials and Textures
Another aspect that helps you bring styles together is mixing different materials and textures. Think of a mix of wood, metal, marble and fabrics. An industrial coffee table made of metal and wood can go beautifully with soft velvet cushions or a woolen throw in Scandinavian style. The variation in textures gives the room more depth, and the whole does not feel overwhelming.
4. Keep an eye on the proportions and scale
Mixing styles also means paying attention to the proportions and scale of your furniture and decor. A heavy, classic wooden cabinet can work perfectly alongside a sleek, modern sofa, but it’s important to make sure the proportions are balanced. Play with both large and small items to create a balanced and inviting atmosphere.

5. Connecting Art and Souvenirs in Your Interior: Creating a Unique Atmosphere
Combining art and souvenirs in your interior creates a personal and unique atmosphere. Artworks bring style and expression, while souvenirs fill your space with meaningful memories. By combining these elements, you create a decor that is not only aesthetic, but also tells your story. Think of combining colorful paintings with special objects that you have collected during your travels. In this way, your home becomes a reflection of your personal experiences and cultural influences. Add character and turn your interior into a work of art full of stories.
6. Be Selective with Decoration
Too much decoration can make your interior look cluttered, especially if you want to combine multiple styles. Instead, choose statement pieces that really stand out and define the space. A striking vintage mirror, a handmade vase or an antique clock can be a great way to add a personal touch without going overboard. Make sure your decorations complement each other rather than compete. Think about hanging paintings as collages and arranging objects in clusters.
7. Stay True to Your Own Taste
Finally, the most important piece of advice: stay true to your own taste. Your interior should reflect your personality, so combine styles in a way that makes you happy. Dare to experiment and play with different elements until you find the perfect balance. Mixing styles does not have to be bound by strict rules – if you are happy with the end result, that is the most important thing!
Conclusion - combining interior styles
Combining different interior styles in one space can be an exciting and creative process. By finding a balance in colours, materials and proportions, and letting your personal style shine through, you can create a unique, cohesive space that feels both stylish and comfortable.
