5 Quick Tips for a Successful Fusion DIY Project

Attaining a successful fusion DIY project and decor takes time, patience and an understanding of balance. It can be a challenge, but here are some quick tips to get you started.

Fuse Similar Styles

Combining themes that naturally go together would be best. Take Scandi home decor and accessories, for example, and mix them with modern Japanese. The way it looks, how it works, and how it fits together make for a good balance of the two styles. Also, the materials and colours are made to look the same. These two styles are very distinctive. But have enough in common to work well together as a combined and successfully fused project.

Pay Attention to the Size

When most people think about fusion, they don't think about scale. Scale is just a word for dimensions and how they fit together. Some styles of decorating work well together in terms of size, and some don't. Japandi is a great example of how size and scale work well together. But you wouldn't put your old hardwood antique French pieces with modern glass and steel. The style and scales are just wrong. And don't neglect to consider the size of the room as well.

Create a Focal Point for Successful Fusion DIY Project

There are things you can't get rid of when you clean a room so you can decorate it. Most of the time, these are big building parts like panels, frames, and fireplaces. Even though you can't get rid of them, they can help you design a room in a lot of ways. You can create a focal point out of anything that stands out. The trick is to make it less noticeable by using colours that go well with it and bordering it with pieces that are the right size and have the right texture for the style.

Blend Texture and Colour

Because colour can decide the fate of a room, it is used a lot in interior design. The same is true for fusion. Start with a base colour and build around it with hues and shades of a similar colour that go well together. But soften harsh tones by using neutral colours in fabrics and materials like walls and fixtures. Each style of decorating from around the world uses colours, textures, and patterns that have been around for a long time. The idea is to balance each naturally.

Add and Remove to See What Works

Lumping everything together will waste time and ruin your project. So, if you want to try out a fusion project, you should do it systematically. So you don't find yourself with a slew of things in the same space that doesn't belong there. By putting things in a room in a smart way, you can determine what goes well together before the room is done. Try to only move onto the following part once you're sure that the features that came before it work well together.

Summary

There are many things you need to consider for a successful fusion DIY project. These often include finding matching styles, developing a focal point and seeing what blends well together.
