COMBO ONE

Bohemian + Midcentury modern (Contrasting)

Why is it a good choice?

The charmingly clumsy and free-spirited bohemian paired up with a clean, sophisticated and uncluttered style of midcentury modern really strikes a great balance in interiors and can be most suitable for a bachelor or bachelorette pad.

How to implement?

• Distressed furniture of geometric shapes. Make sure the furniture has sharp or curved edges.
• Metal chairs or hair pin legs but colored bright from the bohemian palette.
• Choose a lot of artistic accessories of abstract shapes but placed in an uncluttered manner.
• Make the kitchen layout clean-cut and clear but opt for rather interesting tile patterns.
• Use a lot of layers but keep the prints simple and geometric.
• Include a lot of metal and glass in the interiors but make sure the metals have a slightly distressed texture.
• Keep the levels of the furniture and any element of the interior asymmetrical. For example near a low-lying sofa place a tall floor lamp. Even in the break-fast counter let the pendants light hang asymmetrically. For most part refer cool white lighting paired up with ample amount of natural lighting.

COMBO TWO

Chettinad + Contemporary
