Turning your home into a beautiful, eye-catching space is like being a chef mixing flavors—you blend different art styles to create something special and uniquely yours. Whether you love wild abstract art, old-school vintage pieces, or sleek modern designs, learning to mix them can turn your home into your own personal art show.

Getting to Know Art Styles

Before you start mixing, it helps to know what makes each style stand out. Abstract art is all about shapes, colors, and patterns—sometimes without a clear picture. Vintage art feels like a step back in time, with its classic, aged look. Contemporary art is fresh and modern, reflecting today’s ideas.

Finding What Connects Them

Look for things that tie different styles together, like colors, themes, or textures. For example, soft neutral colors can help a bold abstract painting and a delicate vintage print look like they belong side by side.

Keeping Things Balanced

Make sure one style doesn’t take over the room. A good trick is the 60-30-10 rule: 60% of one main style, 30% of a second style, and 10% for small accents.

Layering for Depth

Stacking different pieces can make your walls feel richer. Hang a big modern painting as the star of the show, then add smaller vintage frames or abstract sketches around it.

Frames Are Your Friends

Frames can help different styles get along. Try putting a vintage piece in a sleek modern frame or an abstract work in a fancy, detailed frame—it can make everything feel connected.

Make It Yours

In the end, your space should feel like you. Don’t be scared to try new things and go with what feels right.
