Sometimes it’s all about the contrast — something magical happens when you pair something polished or frilly with something that’s a little rough around the edges. It’s the uptown meets downtown of style.
For example, take the motorcycle jacket. Pair it with something equally bad-ass, like a well-worn pair of jeans or boots, and you’ll have a classic tough-girl look. But put it together with a flowy, chiffon dress, heels and a clutch and the effect is modern perfection.
The same rule applies to style in your home, too. When a space looks too polished and uptight, a rough-hewn piece is all that’s needed to balance things out. In this look, the sharp, shiny lines of the mirror are contrasted by the organic, hand-worked look of the console.
