When it comes to finding love, they say opposites attract. Which is all well and good until you attempt to build your wedding registry and realize that your home decor preferences don’t match—at all. Before starting World War III, try to find some common ground, no matter how small, says organizer Shira Gill: “Perhaps both parties love a similar color palette.”
And before you secretly swap that checked blanket your partner wouldn’t budge on for those floral plates, remember that contrast can be a good thing. “Mix it together and give it a try,” says organizer Jamie Hord of Horderly. “I surprisingly fell in love with some of my husband’s cherished items, like a golf trophy and bright green office lamp. It all comes down to respecting each other’s tastes.”
Still find yourselves on opposite ends of the style spectrum? “Try investing in neutral, timeless, high-quality pieces that elevate the space and will be functional for years,” says Gill. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite such items to add to your registry. Think: finds that will keep your stuff organized while also creating visual harmony—two things we can all agree on.
