It seems to be a great concern for many people - but the reality is that today's design can handle both elements at the same time! :)
Lighter wood cabinetry with cleaner lines can be mixed with darker distressed floors, and transitional lighting fixtures and finishes can be blended together in a home filled with traditional furnishings, creating a very current design.

Don't be afraid to love more than one idea at a time!! I truly believe that today's homes are filled with many different designs - and labels are unnecessary. Do you like it? Is it special to you? Would you enjoy waking up each morning and seeing it in your home? If the answer is yes, then there is a way to work it into your design.

We love a moment of surprise in the room - bringing in a bit of fun and whimsy can do wonders over the dining table you have had for the past 8 years.
Think out of the box - look at different finishes, there are so many to choose from! The beauty of today's design world is that it doesn't all have to "match".
That's why faux finishes are so wonderful. They play with different color tones and textures, and allow for a mix in the room.
On the flip side of that coin....... If you prefer contemporary furnishings - don't be afraid to step out of your box and add a little "bling" to the space.
Yes, that's right - Think about adding crystal to the mix!! Sure - there are tons of contemporary fixtures with very clean lines and stern structures, but that's almost too easy! When we say "step out of the box" we mean REALLY step out!!
