With the growing trend of contemporary house designing, every home owner wishes to create a style that reflects their personal style and cater to their furniture necessities. Architect Onal Kothari shares some tips and tricks to blend modern furniture design with furniture that has an ethnic touch.

Architectural features: Take a look at the architectural feature of your space. It could be exposed brick walls, trendy colours, water pathway or traditional staircase. Look around for things that add visual attractions to your furniture.
Take a quiz: Start by collecting pictures of furniture you find visually appealing. Collect pictures of furniture you find comfortable, ones that make you feel happy and create a must-have list. This gallery will make it a lot easier to decide the shape, texture and colours of your furniture.
Highlight your style: To create a lovely ambience in your home, pick a style that you want to highlight in your space. Letting one style dominate would help you to create a modern space with antique decors or traditional aura with a modern twist.
Contrast: Figure out how you would like to distribute the furniture within the room. Do you want to create a contrast with variety in furniture designs or would you like a room that displays simplicity with similar furniture designs in the space. This question could help choose your preferred design.
Mix it all: Once you figure out the necessary styles and requirements, you can either choose one or mix and match styles and design your space as per your preference.
