We promise that you just might love all of your gorgeous furniture a bit more when it doesn’t get lost in a sea of it all being matchy-matchy. Or swap your nightstands for ones in a different room. Bring a dresser from one room into another. No way! Instead, think about moving things around a bit. If you do have matching furniture all over your house, we’re certainly not telling you to get rid of everything. Instead, we built a wood & white floating credenza to combine elements of both the white duvet and the wood nightstands. So the matching wood nightstands worked out perfectly! But we didn’t feel compelled to choose a matching wood dresser for the room. We loved the large upholstered bed, and knew that adding in some wood elements would add some warmth. Or take a look at the bedroom we designed for the Lowe’s Home Makeover. If every piece in the room was the exact same it wouldn’t look as layered and interesting. It’s a mix of a gray upholstered headboard, shiny white campaign style nightstands, and a wood dresser. Immediately the space felt a whole lot less matchy and far more light/bright! Since learning that lesson the hard way, we have approached buying furniture and decor in a whole new way. She sold the set of chairs that came with the table (which she loves!) on Craigslist and used that money to buy these new ones that added a lot more contrast. This matchy-matchy look lacked depth and made the space look & feel… well, ugly.Īfter realizing the rookie mistake she had made, we approached this space in a very different/much LESS MATCHY way (right) and are SO much happier with the new look. A dark table, paired with dark chairs, next to a dark mirror then accented with a dark light fixture.
When Bridget first furnished her dining room (left), she made this rookie mistake by buying all matchy-matchy decor. Here’s the proof… Bridget’s Matching Furniture – Rookie Mistake Some of them can match to keep a cohesive look, but if everything is the exact same…you’re going to end up with a cookie-cutter look that lacks personality.īut even just swapping out one of the matching pieces could make a big difference in the space. But you probably don’t want your loveseat, couch, coffee table, and side table to all match. We totally get it. Having some matching furniture is not a bad thing.

We understand that those bedroom sets are a deal and that can be hard to pass up! Especially when you have a room to furnish and you just want to be d-o-n-e.
She agrees that it would look better without all of the matching pieces, so she graciously allowed me to use this photo for the post… thanks Mom!!) The lack of variety in woods, colors, and textures made the entire space one-note. Now we realize why those rooms always felt a bit flat to us. The bed, dresser, nightstands, side tables….all of them matching and ready to fill up the room! I mean who doesn’t love one-stop shopping, right?! For example, if we were in need of furniture for a bedroom you might find us heading to a big box store to pick up a matching bedroom set for a bargain. Rookie Mistake – Matching Furniture Setsīack before we were ever interested in home decor, we purchased furniture a bit differently. I’ve made ALL of these decorating mistakes in my home and I simply want you to learn from me so you can make your home look amazing.
