After moving in together creating your first home can be hard. Both of you bring your old stuff, and maybe these have totally different style, and ecletic designs can be beautiful and comfortable, but only if you understand the principles that unify different styles. Here are a few home decorating tips to help you create an home you’ll both enjoy!

First things first, don’t forget that emotions can run high when you’re talking about a favorite piece of furniture. While this may hold no meaning for you at all, it may have a sentimental value to your partner. If you are determined to get rid of it, be gentle when you tell your partner that it has to go. A good way is to ask her/him about that particular item and find out if it really has a history.

It’s better if you don’t buy anything until you’re fully moved in and have decided who’s going to keep what. Have a plan what to buy, where and for how much! Another style in the already eclectic home can be a waste of money and energy. Buy gradually as your budget allows you. And don’t forget to prioritize, because you may end up having a beautiful set of dishes but no table…

One solution to unify different styles and colors is to add elements that can bridge the gap. A mismatched sofa and chair can become one when you add accent cushions that match both. Recovered in the same fabric, these can become harmonious. You also have the option to add a third piece, if you have for example a different chair and couch: a carpet. Be sure that it matches both colors and will serve as a gap filler!
