How to do one room in two different styles
A bit of drama with a traditional take
This style lends a lot of character from the surrounding walls. Dare a darker shade to give the room a rich, dramatic mood. Also, it has a way of nicely framing the objects you hang on it.
The building blocks of a unified look
Furnish by building from a neutral base. The organic shapes of the sofa and cushions add dynamic. Together with traditional details and patterns, the result is a pleasantly soft expression.
“Combining patterns – also very different ones – has a way of complementing each other to create a strong or playful expression.”

Creating a more modern style
“The room is still the same,” says interior designer Elin Stierna, “only taken in another direction. The common denominator are the soft materials and organic shapes. Although individually different, they come together likes pieces in a puzzle.”
