Mix and Match Style

The art of blending styles.

It is risky, it is about combining, reusing and incorporating different textures, colours, materials and trends in the same space, always seeking balance and a sense of wholeness.

If you like bold and seductive spaces, you will love this style!

Although it is an invitation to break guidelines, to free the imagination from monotony and to play with different elements, this goes far beyond bringing together different textures, colors, materials and shapes in the same space, this requires our commitment to harmony because precisely one of the dangers of this style is falling into chaos and disorder.

The magical thing about implementing this style is that it turns decoration into a game that allows you to transform spaces with small details, a game in which everything is possible and the goal is to create a room with personality and a soul of its own.

It is important to be very clear about what you want to project in the place you are designing, and thus guarantee the success of the combinations that are made.

Always keep in mind that with a successful mix your decoration will be unique and authentic.

Let's talk about the mid century style

A style inspired by postwar lifestyles and mid-20th century design.

In these spaces there is no place for useless ornaments but rather for light and everything that can make the environment feel fresh

Mid century living room

We have to make it clear that simplicity and functionality are far from making these spaces boring. One of the characteristics of this trend is the use of bright colors in certain focal points of the space to break with the monotony. Usually these accents in the space are created by upholstered furniture, cushions, curtains or valances. It all depends on the story you want to tell!

Completely functional and minimalist furniture

Likewise, the lightness that characterizes this style is not an impediment when it comes to integrating geometric patterns. However, you must be careful not to overcrowd the space. Both the bold colors and geometric patterns are delicate accents that energize your room without overshadowing the simplicity of the MID CENTURY.

Why should you reupholster your old furniture?

Just as each place tells its own story, each piece that is part of it has its own wealth.

The Art of Recovering Old Furniture

Recovering old furniture is an art. It is better to recover old furniture than replacing it with new furniture. It can save you a lot of money. However, you must know how to recover your old furniture in the proper way. You can recover a pair of armchairs or sofa that is languishing in your store room with the help of a fun, vibrant, cotton print.

New Orleans is your perfect destination for recovering old furniture. Luz Custom Curtains & Upholstery, located in New Orleans specializes in upholstery and Reupholstery. You can easily upgrade your sofas and chairs by using appropriate fabrics, cushion or pillows.

If you have armchairs or sofa in your house that is old and antique, then consider recovering them rather than replacing them with contemporary furniture. The old armchairs generally take place in the store room as they don’t blend with the contemporary interior décor of the room. Many people have a couple of armchairs in their store room that are in good condition and are quite comfortable. The only defect that these chairs have is that they don’t match the new home décor of the room.

However, the good news is that the armchairs that look totally out of fashion can be recovered. A transitional décor style that bridges traditional and contemporary is needed to bring back the arm chairs to use. Therefore, a tricky décor style is needed which will allow you to use the chairs.

The armchairs generally have overtly traditional arm lines and ancient European-style fabric which looks passé. Keeping them in a modern room would look very odd. Therefore, you need to change the look of your old furniture with a little brainstorming and creativity.

If the quality and material of the furniture are good and durable, then it is sheer foolery to replace them. You can put a great, contemporary fabric on a traditional armchair or sofa to give it a brand new look. You can further add vibrant cushions or pillows to enhance the look of your recovered old furniture. It is not wise to throw away a high quality sofa for a sofa that looks cool, but is not even made of real wood. If style is your primary concern, then you should artistically recover your old furniture.

Furniture made of hardwood such as ash, oak or maple should not be thrown or replaced as they are durable. Change the fabric and add cushions or pillows to recover your old furniture.
