Mixing Design Elements of Different Style Homes-Your Opinion
There's really nothing stopping you from mixing whatever you want. Unless, of course, you wear your education like a Playtex girdle.
I try to go into eclectic shock/therapy at least once a week.

Re: the McMansion Effect ((space))
..and then there's all the stuff that is now created and stored digitally, which sometimes gets put in digital museums.
Are the large homes and all their contents of today something like subliminal evocations of museums? "A man's home is his castle." And just look at how many actual castles and palaces are now actual museums.
"I want a McMuseum, hypersized."
Take a moment or two to count the 'collections' presently in your home.

The Timepiece of Humanity notes
1.
The story begins with my visits to the National Gallery in Washington D.C. in the summer of 1981. In the main galleries I was most attracted to the Early Renaissance paintings. I was looking for inspiration in choosing colors for the walls of my house in Philadelphia, which I recently received from my parents, and wanted to renovate as soon as I got home from my summer in Washington. I was looking at all the paintings that had architectural backgrounds, because the walls in these backgrounds were most times painted in bright saturated colors. These paintings seemed to be the only place where I could see such vivid colors used as wall decoration. In any case, it got me very involved with many different Early Renaissance paintings.
While on my search for color inspiration, I became intrigued by a certain aspect of The Annunciation (1425-30) by Masolino da Panicale. What intrigued me was the awkward, and almost stupid, placement of a column between the Angel Gabriel and the Virgin Mary. The column, together with the pilaster it supports, go from the bottom edge of the painting right up to the top edge, virtually dividing the painting in half. Even though the column's placement seemed unsophisticated, it was the column's visual dominance that made me immediately wonder as to the meaning and possible symbolism of its placement within the picture field. The artist's placement of the column seemed deliberate and intentional.
Just looking at the painting, without going into any analysis, there are a number of aspects that are self-evident. The column is just slightly off center. The line produced by the column goes straight from the bottom edge of the painting to the top edge of the painting, virtually cutting the painting in half. Proof of the column's intentional inclusion and placement within the composition is presented by the fact that all the other arches of the overhanging porch do not have columns to support them. The column is also the only element of the painting which is shown complete, uncropped or unobstructed. All other elements of the painting are cropped or partially obstructed, even the gowns of Gabriel and Mary. And in an almost bizarre way, it looks as though Gabriel and Mary are both paying homage to the column.
