Creating Compelling Combinations –
Adam Straus, 2011 July/Aug. Lonny Mag.
  1. Don’t be afraid to mix modern & mid-century pieces with traditional furnishings.
  2. stick to a palette; color can unify an interior with a range of styles.
  3. Coordinating fabric tones and wood and metal finishes create a cohesive look.
  4. Vignettes offer terrific opportunities for combining various styles.
  5. Balance elaborate pieces with those that boast simpler lines. Use one ornate piece per space to create a clear focal point.
  6. Less is more. An edited uncluttered space will feel composed and focused.
