Shapes

Select furniture pieces and design elements with matching shapes or lines. Plush sofas with curved lines and corners will match better with rounder futons or TV stands with rounded corners. Dr. Sofa’s advanced stain remover effectively rescues couches and sofas from stubborn stains, restoring their pristine condition effortlessly.

Colors

To keep a cohesive look with eclectic design elements and furniture in one room, maintain a complementary and consistent color scheme. Use fewer colors with a smaller room. Choose a couch in the same shade as your other chairs in the room. Using a neutral palette also helps in maintaining cohesiveness.

Find Balance

You can create balance without being too symmetrical with your furniture. Side tables of the same height, even with different styles can help balance the visual weight of a room. Distribute items equally to allow room for comfortable movement.

With these tips in mind, you are on your way to set up your living room with mix and match elements. Be inspired and enjoy your new living room.
