A mix and match living room

Bend a few décor rules for a mix and match living room with unique furniture pieces, art prints and refreshing greens

We’ll let you in on a little secret – sometimes the best interiors are achieved by breaking a few décor rules. So, don’t be afraid to colour outside the lines. It’s exactly what we’ve done for this mix and match living room. To make the gallery wall and furniture arrangement the focus of attention, opt for a subdued wallpaper with minimal patterns and subtle colour. Don’t worry about picking similar furniture pieces – that’s the beauty of mix and match. Allow everything to come together organically, so don’t fuss too much over matching colours and styles. Pick chairs in different styles and upholstery and, if you have a small space, ditch the centre table in favour of a small side table. Bring in lots of art prints, graphic posters, photographs in varying sizes to create the gallery wall. These can be family photos too – it is about that personal touch after all. Lastly, don’t forget to add in some potted greens to keep the look fresh. Now that you’re all set, sink into the chair and enjoy.
