How to Mix Vintage and Modern Styles for a Chic and Elegant Home

1. Choose One Style as the Foundation

Before mixing styles, it’s important to choose whether the base of your design will be predominantly vintage or modern. This provides cohesion while allowing you to layer the opposite style as accents. Evie Furniture offers versatile collections that work as either the foundation or complement in any design scheme.

2. Focus on Balance and Proportion

Balance is key when blending two distinct styles. Make sure that your vintage and modern pieces are in proportion to each other. For example, if you have a large vintage armoire, balance it with a sleek, modern sofa from Evie Furniture. This ensures that one style doesn’t dominate the space, but rather, they harmonize together.

3. Mix Textures and Materials

Part of the charm in blending vintage with modern lies in mixing textures—think velvet against chrome or wood with glass. Evie Furniture carries an array of materials, from plush velvet accent chairs to sleek marble-topped coffee tables, perfect for achieving that stylish balance.

4. Use Vintage for Statement Pieces

Let vintage items like an ornate mirror or antique chest act as statement pieces. These can serve as focal points while more modern, minimalist furniture surrounds them to balance the overall look. Evie Furniture has statement vintage-inspired pieces that will stand out in any room while maintaining elegance.

5. Keep the Color Palette Consistent

To keep a cohesive look when mixing styles, ensure your color palette is consistent. If you’re using warm tones like browns and golds in your vintage pieces, keep your modern furniture in similar tones. Evie Furniture offers furniture in a wide variety of hues, ensuring you’ll find the perfect balance between old and new.

The marriage of vintage and modern styles creates a chic, elegant home that feels both timeless and contemporary. Evie Furniture has everything you need to achieve this look, from classic antiques to modern must-haves.
