Mix & Match Your Way Into the New Year
Jan 24 2019
Looking to incorporate this year’s trends into your home? This year is all about mixing and
matching, so take some creative license with your space! If you already have items perfect to
use, jump on in! If you still need some accessories, go thrifting or antiquing! With the plethora of
antique and thrift stores around Central Virginia, you are sure to find something that tickles your
fancy and makes your home sparkle. Here’s a list of how you can incorporate mixing and
matching in every room of your home.
Bedroom
In past years, cool tones have been all the rage, but this year warm tones are making a
comeback! So grab your favorite millennial pink and make your space as cozy and warm as
possible. Mix and match your textures with blankets and pillows for an easy way to add
dimension; no design experience necessary!
Kitchen
Add a fun backsplash to contrast the rest of your kitchen’s tones or textures! This year, bolder
backsplashes are coming to the forefront as a way to add a pop of color to your kitchen. Use a
pattern backsplash to mix and match with you current kitchen space. Backsplashes are a great
way to update your space to suit your changing needs. Don’t have time to paint or tile your
backsplash? Use tile decals or removable vinyl wallpaper for a temporary solution!
Bathroom
One creative way to decorate your bathroom without any extra work is to invest in plants. Plants
are a great way to add texture to an already established space. If you looking for a low
maintenance plant, we recommend the pothos. These plants can survive in low or high light and
require very little effort from you, making them the perfect low maintenance accent to your
bathroom.
Living Room
Living rooms are the focal point of our homes and sometimes it feels like we have to constantly
be updating them. This year, we found two easy ways that you can spruce up your most used
space; jewel tones and accent pieces. Jewel tones are very in style this year and can help bring
color into your space. Try a bold throw pillow or ottoman to incorporate this trend into your
home. This year accent pieces are all about being unique and sustainably made. Not only can
these pieces bring grounding into your home, they also can provide contrast for the more
formal, already established aspects of your home. Try helping out a small business or buying
your accent pieces locally this season!
