How to Mix and Match Aesthetics Without Making Your Space Look Messy

Mixed Color Maximalist Bedding Set / Green + Pink

From Chaos to Cohesion: Style Your Space with Aesthetic Intention


Love the calming tones of minimalism but also obsessed with a splash of maximalism or cozy cottagecore vibes? You’re definitely not alone, mixing aesthetics is one of the best ways to reflect your personality and favorite aesthetic in your space, but when it’s not done with intention, and with a little bit of authenticity, things can feel cluttered fast.


Ever Lasting has a range of versatile bedding, homeware, and loungewear which makes it easy to curate an aesthetic space that feels cohesive, expressive, and effortlessly stylish.

Love Many Aesthetics? Here’s How to Make Them Work Together

Picture this: You’ve fallen in love with the clean, sleek, and modern aesthetic feel of minimalism, but you also can’t resist the warmth, soft and look of vintage florals of cottagecore. The result? A space that feels more like a mood board mashup than a calm, livable home. We get it, loving more than one aesthetic is completely normal. The challenge lies in bringing them together like a puzzle without overstimulating the senses. 


When aesthetic styles clash without intention, it can lead to a messy, chaotic vibe that doesn’t feel relaxing or refined. The good news is that with the right tips and thoughtful pieces, you can blend your favourite looks into a space that feels curated, not chaotic. Luckily for you, we design loungewear, bedding, and homeware that work across aesthetics, so your home can feel as effortlessly cool as you are.

7 Ways to Mix Aesthetics Without the Mess ✨

  • Choose a Dominant Style to Anchor the Room

When you love multiple aesthetics, the easiest way to avoid chaos is to let one style stand out. Think of it as the “base coat” of your space; it sets the mood and creates visual cohesion. For example, if you’re drawn to both airy sleek aesthetic of minimalism and playful maximalism, let the clean lines and neutral tones of minimalism design guide your furniture choices. Then, add bursts of personality through vintage artwork or quirky aesthetic-inspired textiles.


This way, your space feels intentional and not random. Our minimalist bedding sets, available in clean whites and oat tones, are a great place to start when building a foundation that complements a variety of styles.


  • Stick to a Cohesive Colour Palette

Colour is your secret weapon when combining aesthetics. You can mix mid-century, boho, and coastal elements — and still keep things calm — by using a consistent palette throughout. Try a grounded scheme like warm neutrals paired with sage green, dusty lavender, or terracotta. These muted tones work across styles and create a soft flow from room to room.


Layer in bedding, throws, and loungewear in complementary hues to carry the aesthetic palette through your space. A sage-toned waffle blanket or lavender loungewear set can echo the colours in your accent rugs or wall art, making the room feel curated and connected.


  • Mix Textures, Not Just Aesthetics and Patterns

Texture is often more powerful than pattern in adding depth and dimension. Instead of going bold with clashing prints, layer your space with tactile elements like a chunky knit throw, linen sheets, or hand-glazed ceramic décor. Contrasting finishes (think smooth ceramics, soft velvets, and rough-woven baskets) allow different styles to co-exist with each other.


And don’t forget loungewear — a plush robe hanging on the door adds softness and warmth while still being practical.


  • Use Repetition to Reinforce Style Blends

One of the easiest tricks to avoid visual clutter? Repeat materials or colors throughout the space.


If you’ve chosen a terracotta side table or vase, echo that tone in a cushion, a framed print, or a cute accent. This kind of subtle repetition brings harmony to even the most eclectic setups.


The same goes for materials — repeating textures like rattan, wood, or brushed cotton can help different styles feel like they belong together.


  • Keep Surfaces Curated

Flat surfaces are often where clutter creeps in. Avoid turning every shelf or bedside table into a catch-all. Instead, keep things intentional or minimal.


Display a few meaningful items — a favourite book, a candle, or a homemade ceramic piece— and let each one breathe. Rotate seasonal décor and tuck away everyday clutter in pretty baskets or trays.

Homeware doesn’t have to shout to make a statement. A calm arrangement of items or a neatly folded throw adds charm without the mess.


  • Let Function Lead the Way

A beautiful space isn’t much good if it doesn’t feel liveable. Let comfort and practicality guide your choices, especially in areas like the bedroom or lounge.


Invest in soft, breathable bedding that feels just as good as it looks. Choose loungewear that transitions from sofa to errands without sacrificing style.


Remember, your home should serve you and your peace. And part of keeping it clutter-free is knowing when to edit. Don't be afraid to pack away items that aren’t serving your current aesthetic.


  • Add Personality with Meaningful Pieces

Finally, your home should feel like you. Incorporate personal touches here and there that tell your story — framed prints of your artwork, travel finds, or handmade décor.


Even a beaded accessory or woven wall piece can add soul to a room, especially when styled with care. Just keep it curated: cluster similar items, frame smaller pieces, and balance personal touches with calm, open aesthetic space.
