Blending Design: How one couple blended their very different styles to create a beautiful space

More and more couples are moving in together and with lots of stuff.  Since more people are finding that special someone later on in life, chances are they will also come with a moving van full of furniture and decor items.  Is it possible to blend totally different styles together and have a chic looking space? Will it just be endless arguing and compromise? No! Even if she loves sequins an he loves neutrals - you can find everyone's happy place. Take this design for example....With its strong, sculptural shapes, a judicious use of jewel-tone hues, and the graphic punch of contemporary art, Robert Brown's design for this couple's Atlanta house strikes the perfect balance

Dining Room

Mismatched chairs in the dining room contribute to its relaxed feeling. The tufted Madison by Hickory Chair and scoop-back Jacob chairs by Nancy Corzine are covered in complementary Classic Cloth fabrics for unity, and two vintage chairs are covered in red leather for flair. Angelo chandelier by Paul Ferrante. C-Leg table, New Classics.

Kitchen

The kitchen islands are topped with Imperial Grey marble and edged in a band of riveted iron. A. Rudin stools are upholstered in DeLany & Long's Breaker to match walls painted in Benjamin Moore's Natural Linen. Clinton chandelier by Paul Ferrante. Antique scale, Parc Monceau.

Entry Hall

The bold pattern of a custom-made, zebra-inspired rug from Stark energizes the monochromatic palette in the entry hall. Wilson settee by Edward Ferrell + Lewis Mittman

Living Room

 A mix of neutral tones and pops of tomato red and some elegant touches with the mirrored details, candle scones really blend the two styles together nicely in the room to create great balance

 

Master Bedroom

Ceiling, walls, and trim are all painted the same color — Benjamin Moore's Berkshire Beige — to create a serene backdrop in the master bedroom. Curtains in Threads' Hush melt into walls. Designer Robert Brown says he chose the Oushak rug from Keivan Woven Arts because it "feels as warm as an old blanket," and he picked David Iatesta's Marseille chandelier "for romance."





 It is the combination of these different styles that create a truly unique space for this couple to build a life together and it is the differences that make this a stunning space.  When you mix the unexpected together (with a careful eye for detail) the end result is gorgeous!
