How to Combine Two Interior Design Ideas Into One
posted on April 19, 2013 | by Amanda Holstein
When it comes to interior design, my dream apartment is a combination of beach bungalow and rustic log cabin. Sounds impossible, I know. But I love all of the whites and airy touches of a beach-bum aesthetic, and the unique prints and raw textures of a mountain lodge look. So why not combine my two loves into one? When I came across this gorgeous home on Refinery29, I finally had proof that my unlikely style duo can work. I love the coziness of the puffy white comforter and couches of this home. I think the touches of bright color and southwestern prints bring the place to life and somehow make the space more cozy, since all white can often look sterile. I scoured the internets (yes, plural) to find affordable pieces to achieve this look, and I gotta say, I was quite successful. Take a look below at these interior design ideas:

You might also like my friend Katie’s house tour too! A little beachy, a little cabiny.

I love how clean and crisp this is, but with a little eclectic touch–just my style!

I love this! I love how clean white looks, but it can seem cold.
I love the warmer tones and Southwestern prints. I always feel like I have conflicting styles too, plus there is finding a balance between what I like, and what my boyfriend likes! :)
Happy Weekend!

Looks amazing! I’m working at an architectural and interior design firm now and loving every minute of working with all our clients on their homes. Your apartment looks incredible. White is so refreshing. A lot of people aren’t brave enough to introduce it into their homes. Roman shades are also really in right now. They block the light out so you can sleep in on the weekends and make a beautiful drapery option. <3 Happy decorating!

Nice idea of a combination Amanda. I like the simplicity and looks very comfy. This can be perfect also for beach house or for a rest house.

Nice combination. The only thing that looks off is the deer head.

Great interior inspo! I like to keep interiors white with a dash of colour in terms of bed linen, carper or cushions. Any ideas where is the hunting trophy from? It would look perfect on the wall of my home office.

from the looks of it, it does give a feeling of the beach. I don’t know why but looking at it makes me feel that its a beach cabin but it looked really nice, I’d love to have a vacation in that room hahaha

Greetings! Quick question that’s totally off topic. Do you
know how to make your site mobile friendly? My website looks weird when viewing from my apple iphone.
I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to resolve this issue.
If you have any suggestions, please share.
Appreciate it!

I like how you decided to combine your two different styles into one! I have a few different styles that I love, and I would like to find some way to combine the two. Then I can have the best of both worlds!
Danni Black Says
Wow, your designs came out so well! I really like the use of the Aztec patterns as well as the use of all of the white. I think that the combination of the two types really work well together! It gives me hope for our interior design process. I might just have to steal some of your ideas, thank you for sharing!

Any interior design deserves your attention only if it is not only visually attractive, but also practical and creates comfort. In the assortment of modern ceiling fans, you can find models that will successfully fit both into a classic interior and add a special zest when it comes to such options https://greatceilingfans.com/steampunk-ceiling-fan/
