I spoke about decorating my home and also mixing patterns here. Now I find myself contemplating mixing styles. I love incorporating different styles - mixing traditional with modern, contemporary with mid century, etc. I think mixing styles can be fun and ensure the room does not look sterile with just one style. I bought the Montclair sofa in nickel at Crate and Barrel for my living room. It's style contemporary with clean lines and tailored legs was exactly the look I was going for. Picking a rug has proved to be a more challenging. I have perused a number of comtempory rugs but I find myself gravitating toward a traditional style of rug. Oriental and Persian rugs are traditional in nature and a great way to bring color and pattern into a room.
I started thinking about mixing the traditional rug with the contemporary sofa. Of course, the I went to the Internet to see how this would look.
.
I found I really liked the contrast of traditional and contemporary. Even though I want the room to feel contemporary I could easily include a Persian or Oriental rug without losing the overall feel of the room. Originally I thought that to create a contemporary feel, the whole room must be contemporary, but that is of course not the case. As soon as I let go of what I thought had to be in the space, I found the perfect rug. The pattern is subtle but it allows the color yellow to be incorporated into the room.
Tell me, do you like traditional rugs with contemporary furniture?
