Moving In Together With Style
Making the decision of moving in together is a huge transition for couples for many different reasons. Not only is it a major change in lifestyle, but it can also be a challenge to find the perfect blend for your individual decorating styles.
Luxury Lake Home knows that this should be a fun and exciting time, so we would like to share some tips for combining your home decor and furnishing styles to relieve some of the stress when making this major life change.
COMMUNICATION:
Talking about your individual decorating styles is the perfect start when deciding on furnishings for your luxury home that you will now be sharing. Asking questions about colors, textures, lighting, and more will eliminate any potential confrontations during the design process. Embracing your style differences just may result in a design that is as unique and interesting as your relationship!
START FRESH:
Sometimes, starting with a fresh, blank slate is the best way to go. Selling or donating items from your past individual homes that might not work in your new space can provide the perfect opportunity to go together to pick out furnishings that are mutually appealing to create a warm, inviting feel in your new luxury home.
DESIGN AROUND YOUR LIFESTYLE:
Browsing through magazines, websites and Pinterest can give you some creative ideas, but remember that your luxury home will be lived in by the two of you (and maybe more in the future!), and should reflect your lifestyle. For instance, do you love to entertain, or do you prefer cozy evenings snuggled up in front of the fire while watching a movie?
PATIENCE IS KEY:
Be patient and enjoy the process. Moving in together is a learning process both for personal habits as well as individual design styles. Taking a calm approach to your design timeline gives you the opportunity to discover what is important to each other and why those things have such importance. Knowing this can often make you look at things differently, and appreciate what you might have otherwise overlooked.
Possibly the most important thing in every aspect of a relationship, compromise is just as important when it comes to creating the perfect living space for your new luxury home. Just because you might not agree with the other person on furniture placement, or how to hang the art on your walls doesn't mean that you can't find a happy medium. Your space should be the perfect blend of the best of both your styles.
