Blending styles is about combining both masculine and feminine touches.

Discover Personal Tastes

Blending design styles with your significant other can be tricky, but it's achievable. First, start by targeting main rooms like the bedroom or family room. Identify and respect personal tastes. Does one prefer textures and patterns and the other smooth lines? Discover what's most important to each of you.

Conduct Experiments

If compromise is hard, seek advice. Perhaps it's possible to pair his prized old chair with a new lamp or art. Visit show rooms... bring home catalogs and samples... experiment.

Mix His & Hers

Combine masculine and feminine touches. If window coverings are too much for him, forgo the draperies. Achieve warmth with vibrant throws, pillows and area rugs.

Be Color Happy

Use color to tie your new look together. Pick a hue that makes you both happy and harmonizes your new room.
