BLENDING HISTORIC AND CONTEMPORARY DESIGNS
Crafting the perfect interior often means mixing the old with the new
When it comes to interiors, contrasts between dramatically different styles and eras can work like magic. The period charm of an ornate historic property, for example, is artfully emphasized when juxtaposed with bold, minimalist furniture; the nostalgic appeal of a vintage find becomes even more apparent when paired with cutting-edge technology; and contemporary artworks set within antique furnishings throws the unique beauty of each period into stark relief. In short, it is all about creating moments that surprise and delight.
Crafting richly layered interiors with unexpected details, and combining modern and traditional style, adds a joyful abandonment to the room. It’s objects that contrast or jar ever so slightly which bring a room to life. It might be a lovely tonal scheme but it is not finished until you throw in that final oversized lamp or big piece of contemporary art. Sometimes, adding contemporary design features while preserving the period character celebrates that history in a modern way.
Here are some examples below: Enjoy!
Properties such as these show how combining historic and contemporary styles can be a catalyst for dramatically different results—but always with the element of surprise that the balance between old and new creates. Next time you decorate...mix!
