Modern or Traditional Design?

My wife and I always have disagreements about interior decorating styles, she is more traditional and I myself find my inclinations toward modern furniture.

If I could only tell you how many countless battles we have fought on the topic. Finally, she submitted a request to HGTV and they came in and gave our living room a makeover with a style we could both agree on (world fusion).

Call it a combination of Indian Sari’s with a touch of Moroccan colors, a hookah, cool lounging areas with tons of pillows. In the end, we finally had to compromise and find common ground, but let it be known that polarizing your tastes is not always an ideal solution.

Try to be flexible with colors, textures, fabrics and nick knacks to serve as a superb object to offset sterility or bland colors. You can always find interesting ways to create accents with fabric, lighting or pull items away from walls to avoid the look of having a cluttered or incoherent layout.

All I can say is, good luck in your home remodeling projects, stay flexible and you never know what new look you might come up with to satisfy the senses and get over previous misconceptions about modern, traditional or eclectic design.
