When it comes to interior design and architecture, it's easy to think of them as separate entities. However, when these two fields come together, they can create something truly special. One such combination is the mixing of modern and traditional design styles.
At Kimble Roden Architects and Interior Designers, we believe that combining the two styles can create a beautiful and unique look that is both classic and contemporary. Here are some tips for mixing modern and traditional interior design and architecture.
One of the most effective ways to mix modern and traditional design is to combine materials. For example, you can use natural stone or wood for a traditional touch, while adding glass or metal for a modern twist. This contrast of materials can create a harmonious balance between the two styles.
Another way to achieve a successful mix of modern and traditional design is to mix furniture styles. For example, you can pair a traditional sofa with modern accent chairs or vice versa. The key is to create a balance of styles so that the room doesn't feel too overwhelming or disjointed.
Colour can also play a significant role in blending modern and traditional design. Traditional styles often feature warm, muted colours like beige, brown, and cream, while modern styles tend to be more vibrant and bolder. By combining the two, you can create a unique look that is both timeless and trendy.
Architectural details can be an excellent way to blend modern and traditional design. The clean lines of modern architecture act as a backdrop for traditional elements such as antique furniture. For example, you can add traditional mouldings or wainscoting to a modern space. Conversely, you can add modern details like geometric patterns or metal accents to a traditional space.

Lighting is an essential aspect of any interior design, and it can also help to bring modern and traditional styles together. For example, you can use modern light fixtures in a traditional space, or vice versa. This contrast can create a beautiful and unexpected design.
Mixing modern and traditional interior design and architecture can create a unique and beautiful look that is both classic and contemporary. By combining materials, furniture styles, colour, architectural details, and lighting, you can achieve a harmonious balance between the two styles. At Kimble Roden, we have experience in creating this type of design and would love to help you achieve it in your home or business.
