How to mix pre-loved with timeless basics – Our tips

At Noii HOME, interior styling revolves around creating a space that's not only functional but also tells a story. We believe in the power of timeless basics combined with pre-loved pieces, giving your interior its own unique character and a lasting impact. In this blog post, we share some simple tips for combining vintage with modern pieces, so you can transform your space into a place that exudes warmth, simplicity, and style.

1. Start with a timeless color palette – Neutral, with room for color

Every room begins with color, but it's important to choose a palette that creates calm and balance, so your interior easily adapts to your personal style. Neutrals like beige, gray, and white form a solid foundation that's timeless and versatile. But that doesn't mean you can't add color—quite the opposite! Color can give your interior a personal touch. Choose accent colors that enliven the space without disrupting its tranquility.
