Split Personality
So, what if your furniture preference is more traditional, but you adore abstract paintings? Can they co-exist? Should they?
Are you breaking some kind of interior design rule if you mix them together?
My answer would be that you should always, always surround yourself with things that you love, so go for it! I tend to prefer a more modern, minimalist interior, but I also love plein air paintings and I would mix them together in a heart beat. But to demonstrate my point, check out these diverse interiors that share one common denominator–a love for Jean-Michel Basquiat.

I think mixing traditional with modern or any combination of styles adds a touch of the unexpected to the home decor. I love vintage travel posters, but they don’t necessarily work in a traditional setting, that is, unless I use a traditional element to tie them in like a traditional frame.
