Choosing a new look for your home can be daunting.
The wrong choices can be not only disappointing but downright uncomfortable to live with.
And, if these two people are married or living together, that can be a big problem.
They help clashing couples create a unique look that incorporates both of their tastes.
Is the overall look going to have a Victorian aesthetic or a mid-century modern vibe?

Dobrinski points to one of their past projects as an example.
Valencia agrees that research is critical for identifying a common style.

But they’re living together for a reason.
They have a shared relationship for a reason.
Valencia prefers more color and texture, while Dobrinski is fond of cleaner, more modern looks.
The key, they said, is in understanding which battles are worth fighting.
“Mash Up Our Home” premieres Saturday, March 12, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on HGTV.
