Welcome back lessners! We kick off todays episode with a little confession from Ash, after Claire walks in on her crying over an instagram video.... which ends with our lessners being challenged not to cry for $50 (offer not claimable for cash money) Then, we talk you through the art of mixing and matching interior styles to combine different styles and elements to create a cohesive and visually pleasing home. It can be hard to know where to begin, we even found it hard to wrap our words around it, so in this episode, we will explore some tips and tricks for mixing and matching different styles. We will discuss how to use colour, materials and technology to aid you to create a common thread to tie everything together. We can't help but discuss the 60/30/10 rule to balance styles and styling pieces, and how a neutral base can be your best friend. We have an exciting announcement to round out the show so stick around for that, and keep an eye on our socials for more details @thenewmore.podcast, So, whether you're renovating, redecorating or simply sprucing up your space, this episode will provide you with practical ideas and inspiration for creating a cohesive and personalised home that reflects your style.
