Everything should be planned beforehand though there is always a chance to create spontaneously something really captivating. First you have to figure out the basic style of your room, in other words if you want it to be primarily traditional or with modern style domination. Equal attention to both styles may create obscure design so letting one style to be primary is crucial. No matter which of the variants you choose your loyalties should be selected carefully: antique accents or contemporary ones. You have to answer two simple questions why you like this or that piece of furniture and how you see your place with it. To answer the first question draw your attention to every detail such as colour, texture, lines. Collect pictures of such items and make notes.
The second one is a bit complicated since it takes into consideration not only the piece of furniture itself but also how it can fit and match your room and go with the other objects of it. As the new one is going to be of absolutely opposite style you have to decide if you want it to be in harmony with the rest or contrast with what is in the room. As for example modern bedroom furniture can go perfectly with an antique dressing table or a vanity mirror of the same colour and texture.
Another example is a nice combination of up-to-day upholstered furniture and little antique coffee table with fretwork. In the mentioned above designs you will get a harmony look because the different objects had much in common as colour and texture, however if you are thirsty for contrast you need to be more courageous with colour decisions as for example modern bedroom furniture of ivory colour to be placed together with an antique vanity mirror of brownish hue. Here the items of different epoch are absolutely different and the only thing unites them is that all the items refer to a room for sleeping. Remember that there is no wrong answer in this situation however it is better to spend as much time as needed.
