Help for first time house owner

11 years ago

Hi, we have just bought our first home. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips on keeping the same style going through the house without it being dull.

I really like vintage style but think it might be a bit much if used in the whole house.

Thanks, Sophie.

You can do eclectic in the other rooms and keep it unified by incorporating similar colors, textures, and shapes.

If you fill the house with what you love, how can you go wrong. Vintage paired with a few store bought pieces looks great. More than 3/4's of my house is filled with vintage! Works in my home.

Eclectic works well when you have some vintage pieces. Vintage is woven throughout my home. Use your imagination and utilize vintage pieces in unique ways. Think outside the box.

If you have some photos maybe we can be of more help to you.
