Our Village outlet in Paris is bringing you a unique concept. Mix and match your bedroom decor. Gone are the days when we had to match the bedroom pillows to the carpet just to «stay on trend»! It’s time to mix and match your decor. But how can you be sure your combinations will work? The user guide is right here.
Since interior design is all about imagination, the mix-and-match approach has emerged as the hottest trend in home decor. Its guiding principle: mix everything together freely—unlike the “total look”! Styles, materials, colors, prints, and shapes come together to create a joyful melting pot. It’s the perfect way to infuse your bedroom with real personality. There are several trends for your bedroom, including furniture that combines materials. And bedding that contrasts with the furniture. Find inspiration at Madura, an expert in mixed materials. A cabinet made of perforated wood and metal for a bold industrial style, a screen that subtly blends rattan and metal, a coffee table in marble and solid oak for a touch of elegance…
Village Outlet Paris assures you: more than just a trend, mix-and-match is now one of the core principles of interior design. Our Village Outlet Paris offers ideas for mixing colors, shapes, styles, materials, and prints. From examples such as the Gispy decor, which blends cultures, we draw inspiration from the boldness to experiment, to pair, and to mix elements together. Suddenly, you can effortlessly combine a bed from Univers du Sommeil with a Scottish-print throw. This is the best way to create a unique, personal, and lively atmosphere.
And for those who want to try out a mix-and-match decor style, just get started. Choose a color palette of soft tones and select prints that feature all the colors in your palette. Pillows are a good example: they feature similar tones and delicate prints. The Mix & Match decor style has everything to please with its abundance of colors and prints. But beware of poor combinations. On the agenda: a mix of patterns, colors, and materials… for a flawless bohemian interior.
Who says mix-and-match has to mean mixing materials? We love pairing an old knitted blanket with a more modern piece from Yves Delorme, all brought to life by a patterned cushion. The result is simply ultra-trendy, warm, and full of life.
Here’s a tip from Village Outlet Paris: if you prefer to focus on small decorative touches, go for cushions, throws, and rugs. For example, dress up your bed (or your sofa) with a mix of velvet cushions, a wool throw, and another in (faux) fur. Don’t forget to accessorize it with a wicker basket placed on the floor to hold your home decor magazines! You can even take the concept a step further with a sheet featuring the same pattern, available at Garnier-Thiebaut.
Be careful: beginners should proceed with caution, as mixing prints can quickly backfire. A tip: to create a trendy look without taking too many risks, mix prints of the same color family or play with shades: a plaid with gray dots, a Blanc des Vosges bedding set, a carpet with black Berber prints, and graphic cushions in various shades of blue.
Since mix-and-match defies convention, we take the opportunity to give free rein to our imagination and experiment with the most unexpected combinations. In a nutshell: let go!
The most important thing will be to create a sense of visual unity in this universe, which is more colorful than the others. Stick to a common theme so you don’t get lost in this jungle of colors, materials, and styles. For example, using color is the safest bet: choose a color palette (in this case, beige, powdery pink, marsala, and salmon) and then play with materials and prints.
By introducing elements that might seem incongruous at first glance, we create a rich, colorful, and above all, vibrant atmosphere. The key is knowing how to bring together the elements you’ve combined. And we’re here to help you with some basic tips. Through these images, discover the few rules that will set you on the path to successful mix-and-match styling. But don’t forget that rules—especially when it comes to decor—are meant to be broken, so go ahead.
If you want to continue your Mix & Match journey with us at Village Outlet Paris, the secret lies in the mix. Below, we offer some inspiration featuring pale blue as the base color. The Mix & Match concept is reflected in the graphic and floral prints. This allows you to be more daring while keeping the base color of your decor consistent.
Dare, share, mix, match—don't hesitate!
