Blending furniture styles and different furniture periods with old and new pieces is the best way to express your own personality and style. When purchasing a new piece for a room, the most important thing to remember is to buy something you like. Buying a new item in a color or shape you don’t care for just because it appears to “match” what is already there is a dreaded mistake.
Don’t be afraid to expand on the elements already present in the room. If your room is full of pieces that you already like, selecting a new piece that instinctively appeals to you usually means it is a good fit with what is already there. Even if it introduces a new color or pattern, it will still look as if it belongs.
Remember, the one common denominator in your eclectic style is you. We tend to buy similar things even if they appear completely different. Maybe there is a common material or architectural element that brings all of the pieces together. Don't worry if the wood is a different color or the leg is a different shape. Have fun with it and buy what you like. It will work!
