Mix, Match + Mend: The sustainable interiors trend

In the world of interiors there is a growing trend towards mix and match styles. Gone are the days of perfectly coordinated furniture sets and matching accessories. Instead, embrace the creative freedom that comes with combining different styles, eras, and textures to create a unique and personalized space. Not only does mix and match interior design offer endless possibilities for creativity, but it also presents numerous benefits in terms of sustainability and affordability... We are big fans!

The idea of using what you already have and repurposing vintage or second-hand items, allows you to minimize waste and reduce your carbon footprint. Antique and vintage pieces not only add character to your space but also contribute to the unique story of your home. With a bit of creativity, you can transform a vintage find into a one-of-a-kind statement piece that adds charm and personality.

Mix and match interior design is all about eclecticism. It allows you to blend different styles, textures, and colours to create a space that is visually interesting and reflects your unique personality. Eclectic design encourages you to break the rules (even stepping outside of your comfort zone, eek!) resulting in a home that is truly one-of-a-kind. The key is to find a common thread that ties everything together, whether it's through a consistent colour palette, a shared material, or a unifying theme.

Combining high-quality pieces with budget-friendly finds allows you to achieve a high-end aesthetic without sacrificing your savings. Mending and repurposing items not only saves money but also contributes to a more sustainable lifestyle. By prolonging the lifespan of your furniture and accessories, you reduce the demand for new products and alleviate the burden on the environment. It's a way of embracing the beauty of imperfections and cherishing the stories behind each piece in your home.

Mix and match interior design offers a sustainable and affordable approach to creating a stylish home. Through championing the idea of repurposing, incorporating vintage and antique items, plus mending instead of replacing, you can reduce waste, save money, and create a unique space that reflects your personality.

So, why not embrace the art of mix and match and embark on a journey to create a home that is both visually captivating and environmentally conscious?
