It’s easy to feel pigeon-holed into a certain design style. If we think we’re Modern or Traditional, we hone in on that style and seek out pieces that fall into that specific genre. And while using your style can be a great way to help you make decisions on pieces, you shouldn’t let it hold you back from getting pieces that you love!

This sofa, for example…

{Crate And Barrel}

Its shape is very modern with clean, straight lines, but we’re about to see how it can look great with other styles.

One Sofa Styled Three Ways

Contemporary

Let’s start by putting it into a more Contemporary/Transitional space. Imagine this room with a roll-arm or slip-covered sofa. The space would take on a more traditional feel, but this sofa makes the room feel more updated and elevated.

Eclectic

Next, let’s drop the sofa into a more Eclectic space. The great thing about this sofa in this space is that it contrasts, but also compliments the other pieces. The purple chair has a more Classic feel and the end tables are a bit more Glam. Mixing and matching pieces like this makes the space feel collected and interesting.

Bohemian

Finally, putting this modern sofa into a Bohemian space keeps it looking polished and pulled together. A Bohemian style can get a little loose and cluttered, but this sofa helps the room look clean.

So, the next time you’re stuck in a style rut, remember that pieces from other styles can put a unique spin on your space! Happy Decorating!
