Fusion in interiors allows opposites to work wonderfully. Break a few rules and let good decor emerge. The timid can stay away.
The present trend in interiors like in huate couture - is fusion. Fusion in home decor is defined and certainly not confusion. A home is about the homeowner’s comfort and about fulfillment of her dreams and desires. Naturally, then, homes are not about what’s in vogue, but about what suits the tastes of the people living there. It’s this need to blend all you want, that’s being described as fusion. Simply stated, a fusion home is one in which contrasts are beautifully balanced. It has contemporary appeal, some traditional influences and some surprises.
HINTS FOR FUSION DECOR
• Remember, being stylish is superior to being fashionable and style never goes out of fashion.
• The best way to fulfil our desire The best way to fulfil our desire of being ‘with it’ is to use a few accent pieces or use colours in vogue or juxtapose styles of decor that complement each other, to create the effects we desire.
• Remember, diverse objects create an element of interest. Indonesian and Egyptian reproductions, furniture from the Far East, etc, has entered the market. Look for them and place them judiciously as elements of interest.
• Fusion also takes place because it’s often difficult for people to break away from their attachments to a certain style or a colour scheme. For instance, we are rooted in old-world Brit charm or ethnic decor. Interior designers say ‘what feels right will always look right’. The textbooks might not say so, but it works.
• Often different styles of furniture, colours and varied accessories look great because they complement each other even though they might not communicate why they appeal at the first instance.
Bring Fusion Into Your Home
Today, you Today you have more access to bring things from all over the world than you ever did. Bring together ideas from different cultures and regions, and create an eclectic, exciting and unique decor at home. However, the success in creating fusion lies in introducing different design elements in a harmonious way. The trick is to master the art of blending. The most significant benefit of going the fusion way is that you have the choice of bringing together all the things you like. It creates an interesting look, breaks predictability, convention and even monotony. Fusion can never go out of fashion nor can it ever get staid. In fact, as history tells us, fusion is not a recent phenomenon. It’s been here for centuries. Take the instance of British architects who took themes and motifs from the Mughal style.
A fine example of fusion is seen in the form of Persian and Turkish carpets. They have been used in interior design all over the world.
Be ready to Experiment
Today, fusion has gone a step ahead. It is seen in the blends of materials - wood and metal, metal and glass and so on. It is also seen in treatments - finished material with raw, antique with melamine, and so on. True, if sensitivity to design is not observed, the results could be disastrous, but this should not force you to take only the safe and traditional path. Try to achieve the fusion look by mixing different types of furniture or by adding just one single piece of furniture to an existing set-up. For example a classic sofa design with modern upholstery would look interesting! Also, try all classic furniture and use modern accessories to make the look contemporary.
You have to enjoy breaking a few rules and get off the safe path to enjoy a different flavour. In other words, fusion is not for the timid!
