Extreme Style Mix

Betsy Burnham

A big trend in interior design is to leave behind the notion that one must define exactly what their style is...traditional, cottage or contemporary for example, and then closely follow the guidelines of this definition throughout the home with few variances. Instead, another approach to decorating is to begin with favorite pieces already owned and then complete the space by bringing in only items that are equally appreciated. This may require building a room over time, and an extreme style mix may be the result, but this is a look that is both unique and personal. 

How about you, is this an approach you enjoy applying in your home, or is finding a specific style and running with it more to your liking?
