Eclectic maximalist living space with navy, coral, and yellow accents, bold patterns, and playful color blocking.

Pairing interior design styles ain’t always easy. It’s not like choosing fro-yo flavors. If it were, we’d be out of work and you’d be living in a vanilla and raspberry swirl. Sure, some folks make it look easy. Like artist Nick Cave’s captivating menagerie of global, rustic, eclectic and who knows what else. Or Havenly Director of Design Shelby G.’s  eclectic, contemporary and craigslist-friendly home style.

So in the spirit of style friendship, we’ve assembled a list of interior design styles that pair perfectly. Go ahead, take your pick!

Glam

Scandinavian-inspired living room with cream upholstery, natural wood, soft neutral palette, and minimalist warmth.

With the calming white glam palette, luxuriously preppy textiles and warm bohemian vibes, these style pairs share more than just charm.

Modern

Minimalist home office with subway tile, monochromatic black and white palette, clean lines, and airy elegance.

These pairs are united in their playful functionality. We love mixing the task-at-hand modernism with an eclectic flair for adventure. And the bohemian “I woke up like this” attitude works well across the board.

Minimal

Contemporary living space with charcoal gray walls, warm wood tones, creamy upholstery, and balanced sophistication.

We can’t say it enough, but we’ll only say it once: Less is more. Working with less forces us to make more intentional choices. It challenges us to commit only to what we really need. And it opens up our spaces to let life happen. This approach to design is perfectly embodied in all three of these interior design styles.

Mid-Century Modern

Vibrant eclectic family room with jewel tones, bold geometric pillows, playful color mixing, and energetic modern style.

The language of color is one that evokes many emotions. The vibrant tones of a Mid-Century Modern Hula Hut can usher in the excitement of a pool party, while an subdued global palette might inspire more of a reflective mood. Of course, bringing these color themes together in thoughtful ways is the test of true color fluency.
