When thinking about how to mix decades in interior design, there is a lot to consider. While room schemes that symbolize a specific period, be it an Art Deco living room or a Mid-Century dining area, are great in providing a coherent space that feels neat, a room that blends timeless interior design styles can feel more personal, eclectic, and interesting.
‘Just like your wardrobe includes new pieces with age-old favorites, so should your interior,’ says Sonya Winner, founder of Sonya Winner Rug Studio.
'Mixing decades helps to create a “lived in” look, a home that has been collected over time and has history and soul,’ says Trish Knight, interior designer and co-founder of Knight Varga Interiors. 'It provides authenticity and comfort, rather than the bland feeling of a perfectly styled space that was all purchased together at one showroom.’
