How to combine design styles cohesively. (Design style conflict)
Is “Coastal Farmhouse” or “Industrial Tuscan” a design style thing? No, but I believe that we all like more than one design style and we shouldn’t have choose just one!
I have met with multiple couples during my design career and more often than not they do not share similar design taste.

First of all, there is more than one room in the house. And I quickly point out that everyone living in the house just needs to face the fact that there may be a room in the house they do not like. There will be spaces for him, spaces for her and shared spaces. Once clients resolve themselves to the truth of that, I am able to meet each of their design styles and move forward with designing a house everyone can be happy with.
I quickly determine “who” is going to spend the most time in a particular room (designing that room geared towards that individual) and which rooms are shared spaces (a blend of style).
