We’re all familiar with ever-popular interior design styles like midcentury modern and bohemian. But what if your design sensibility falls somewhere in the middle of two styles?

It’s common for your home’s interior decor to be an amalgamation of several different styles, and your living room probably best represents your chosen aesthetic. So rather than focusing on solitary design elements for this week’s roundup of stylish Instagram decor, we sussed out five inspiring living room looks that present a mashup of two different styles.

Whether you choose to replicate the following aesthetics in full or pull individual elements—like a gilded mirror or a baby blue sofa—there’s no shortage of decor ideas that’ll help you spruce up your living room decor.

1. Midcentury glam

One of architect Mickey Muennig’s whimsical residential designs in Big Sur, CA, is ready for a new owner.

The curvy four-bedroom, four-bath home has had only two owners since its 1982 completion. It is listed for $6,950,000 with Ben Heinrich of Coldwell Banker Realty.

Fans of California architecture likely know Muennig for his design work at the Post Ranch Inn, a luxury coastal resort in Big Sur. He designed many homes in the area, too.

Located on the Central Coast, Big Sur is about 150 miles south of San Francisco, along the Pacific Ocean. The resort town of Carmel is a 45-minute drive north.

Known to Maui locals as Lona Ridge, this nearly 6-acre estate in Wailuku, HI, features a marvelous mansion that appeared on the reality TV show “Temptation Island.” And now, it’s hoping to tempt a buyer for $12,800,000.

The property is perched 1,200 feet above sea level, against a backdrop of the West Maui Mountains.

“There isn’t another property like this anywhere on the island where it sits high on the hill,” says listing agent Josh Jerman, of Hawaii Life. “It looks out to both the north and the south shorelines.”

The homeowner worked with Nishikawa Architects to build the five-bedroom, 5.5-bath home in 2012. Sadly, the homeowner’s husband died before they moved in.

Caleb Simpson has become the internet’s favorite real estate looky-loo based on the millions of views his viral video series of apartment and home tours has racked up. But instead of filming formal open houses, the New York City–based content creator stops strangers on the street and persuades them to invite him inside their living space and open up about how much they pay in rent.

He’s had his camera rolling to check out more than 200 properties that range in size and price. The cheapest so far? A rent-controlled apartment in downtown Manhattan that goes for $350 a month. Then there’s the most expensive: a $10 million property that real estate mogul and “Shark Tank” star Barbara Corcoran owns.

“I like to call it this generation’s ‘MTV Cribs,’” Simpson says.

As he hits the road in December to film abodes in Los Angeles, Miami, San Francisco, and abroad, Simpson took time from touring to give us his insider take on what renting New York City real estate is really like, and what our personal spaces say about us.

In your videos, you begin by asking strangers on the street, ‘How much do you pay in rent?’ How do you convince them to share this private info, then give you a tour of their apartment on the spot?

When I first started, people didn’t really want to give away that information. But in New York City specifically, when you’re going over to a friend’s apartment, the first thing you ask is, “How much do you pay for this place?” Whether I run into someone on the street and we go do it right then or someone reaches out, I just show up at their home and I’m outside their door and I’m already filming. It’s very spontaneous.

A 9,286-square-foot mansion in Pittsburgh dating to the late 1800s and boasting a spectacular restoration seeks a new steward. It’s now available for $2,988,000.

“It’s a special spot that we’ve all known about and driven by,” says listing agent Mark Jennings, with Piatt Sotheby’s International Realty.

Locals know the property as the Baywood Mansion, and it’s sometimes referred to as the Alexander King Estate. The Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation has designated it a historic landmark.

Columns on the wide front porch are exquisite, as are the interior’s ceiling murals, stained-glass windows, fireplace tiles, and carved woodwork—particularly on the entry’s two-level staircase.

Foreclosures continue to surge, but they aren’t a red flag for the housing market—yet.

In November, 30,677 properties across the nation received some sort of foreclosure filing, such as a notice of default because a homeowner is behind on the mortgage payments or an auction scheduled, according to a recent report from real estate data firm ATTOM. That was up 57% compared with a year ago.

There were 3,770 completed foreclosures during the month, up 64% versus last year.

While such big spikes might seem jarring, it’s not a sign of another foreclosure crisis about to hit. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there were foreclosure moratoriums put in place for those with government-backed mortgages for nearly two years. Many lenders extended these protections to other borrowers as well, to protect homeowners who lost jobs or other income during the pandemic.
