Mismatching Chairs? Hot or Not?

***Karren*** · 03-12-2009, 06:21 AM

So what do you think of this fashion trend?

I don't mind it so much, as long as the chairs have the same feel to it. It makes it feel more home like. I can't stand walking into a house that is so "perfect" that I'm worried that as soon as I misplace something, it sticks out.

I don't like it, I'm so OCD about things looking perfect lol I'm one of those people that want a 'model home' looking house.

cant do it.

probably not that particular picture but I've seen it done very well, and If it went with the whole eclectic theme with the home then I'd do it. I like things of the un-ordinary.

Hum.... I don't like the ones in that picture... I think in some occasions depending on the chairs it actually works

***magneticheart*** · 03-12-2009, 01:01 PM

I quite like it! My style is quite mis matchy, my bedroom is so mis matched, it looks crazy but I like it

It drives my mum mad though, she's big on colour schemes and organising, I half expect her to re-decorate my room when I'm out

***Bec688*** · 03-12-2009, 02:09 PM

I have seen it done well, one of my friends is big into mismatching, where I am pretty straighty 180 with my decorating, I like matching!

***Ozee*** · 03-12-2009, 02:16 PM

I like it if done well and with similarities. Not like the above.

I don't think at my house i could do it, I like to have things that work together.

***pinksugar*** · 03-12-2009, 03:39 PM

I prefer to have matching lol

***Roxie*** · 03-12-2009, 05:43 PM

If it's hot right now, then I am so in! Everything in our house is mismatched! The chairs in the kitchen, the couches in the lounge, the many beds in one room, and all the draw sets are different.

Personally, I hate it. I like to have everything perfect and matching and even themed! Unforunately, I just have to settle for what I have...

***mehrunissa*** · 03-12-2009, 06:29 PM

It looks awkward in that picture, because it just doesn't seem to work with the otherwise minimalist theme. But I've seen it done really well too, and it adds an eclectic charm to the room. It has to mismatch in a matchy way, lol.

I have learned over the years anything goes as long as YOU like it. Fashion sways so far one way and then another. Its just a popalerity contest! You like? Then it's hot. that is really all that counts right?

OH my sorry on my spelling eekk "popularity?" ohh gezzz

I like it when it's clear that it's done intentionally, with some sort of theme or concept behind it. Your simple white table and various chairs are a really cute look. The only thing I'd suggest is to look for a chairs that share a common feature, such as having the one leg in the center, or having similar colors/textures.

AnnaKG00 · 03-15-2009, 05:21 PM

hmm..no

***Karren*** · 03-15-2009, 05:59 PM

I really don't like it.. Being an engineer I like everything to be orderly!!

I just looked at the pic. It does look a bit odd. I do understand what you are going for but, don't think your there yet.

maybe if you take the two that are brown out and get 2 that have that same white material that the other three has. differant shapes and not iddentical but yet have a semalarity. does this make any sence or help ya?

everything in your kitchen and dinning room is white ecept those 2 brown chairs. You eye goes amediatly to them and they just look like they where stuck there to fill in the gaps.

Ok, lets see if I can esplain better. white is a clean eleagent color. You have your MAIN color as white in your kitchen and dining room. Then you have 3 chairs that the main colors are white. Then you have 2 Brown rough looking (redneck cowboyish) identical chairs together. Then you have 1 rough but not to rough looking chair in corner "AWAY" from table with 2 pillows (one is white) so they help to soften up the chair. Also this chair doesn't have harsh lines like the other 2 brown chairs. so this one i think works. the other 2 nooo. You are going for a "MIXED MACHED" theme but look closer your theme matches pretty well ecept those 2 chairs. Chance those chairs up for softer lines and bring a touch of elegant in with them. Maybe white wood. I can see your hard (brown) floor and your desk has some brown and your atempt to bring in brown or is that copper on the table. and your brown counter tops. I bet thats what you where looking at. You see, you have to much white all around to pull that off. sorry. Hope this was helpfull and not to harsh.

also the conner chair is also connected to the other chairs because of the black pillow wich pullls that black and white stool in. see you can mix match but if your gonna "match" or have any kind of similarities then the "whole picture has to have similarities. (every main item) try some white tie back pillows on those chairs see what that does. But make shure they arn't to square. add some flare but elegants to them. (softer lines)

Sorry both of throw pillows are white on the corner chair that is also helps this brown chair to blend. maybe thats the word you need to remember when you try to "mix match" is the word "blend" its either all or nothing when you try to mix match.
