How To Integrate Your Modern Sofa With Different Elements and Styles

One of the most direct and effective ways to mix styles from different eras is through dynamism, with different textures and a visual interest made up of contrasting elements. It's a task that not everyone can do easily but it can have extraordinary results at a professional level, especially if you choose pieces of furniture with great aesthetic value, such as a modern sofa that represents a great contribution to your originality, and fixtures that also make a significant contribution to your decorating style.

Don't let the process of rearranging furniture in a place become a daunting task. Selling or donating everything to start furnishing from scratch is an option that can be tempting in some cases but you don't always have to resort to it.

Some people choose to combine their old furniture with other new pieces; that's why it's sometimes common to find a completely new midcentury sofa accompanied by elements that are a bit old and worn due to use. This is not necessarily negative as long as the pieces still retain their functionality and aesthetic value, creating a kind of environment with eclectic touches.

The result is probably much better suited to what you want to express and also to your lifestyle. The main idea is to generate the desired cohesion between all the elements that exist in the compartment, giving it an interesting, very original personality.

Versatile Furniture, Versatile Styles

Normally, in the world of décor and interior design, different decorating styles are talked about as acceptable and identifiable trends that have certain characteristics that help to name them: Scandinavian style, Rustic, Boho, Industrial, Transitional, Classic, Mid-Century Modern, etc.

Eclectic styles can combine characteristics of two, three, or more different styles in the same environment. You can also stick exclusively to the decorating style that you like the most, the one with which you most identify or the one that you consider most convenient for you for some reason.

However, not necessarily everything has to be governed by the same trend. There may be elements of a certain type, accompanied with some others of a foreign style, but always the main or predominant trend will be noticed.

To mention an example, if you really like the Boho style and you love elements made with rattan, recycled materials, crafts, wood, etc., but at the same time you're captivated by modern furniture designs, you could perfectly include a modern sectional in your Boho-style living room without necessarily overshadowing the others, since Boho would continue to be the predominant style.

When a predominant style is in perfect balance and cohesion with the rest of the elements, these won't compete for the user's attention but will, instead, be intercomplemented to configure the dream space that you always wanted.

In this context, leather sofas also stand out for their high versatility since they are among the pieces of furniture that can most easily be combined with the vast majority of decorating styles and not clash.

Also, there are many different types of leather, so some will look much better than others, depending on color, texture, flexibility, and so on. The best sofas make a great contribution and are often the starting point for creating impressive environments.
