Mixing Old and New
If you need the true essence of style then you need to apply both the old and modern techniques of Interior Designing to give any house its perfect finish. If you are planning to use for example an 18th century Spanish desk with an Antonio Citterio chair, then this piece will definitely win a second look. This is a wonderful concept to mix the design of different eras. This concept leaves your interiors with an elegant look. But you have to be very careful while using this concept, since sometimes it can prove to be disastrous. So, I have few tips for you.
Use the same color in order to give the room a unified feel. Use the same color throughout the room. This is very important. There may be many traditional and modern pieces in the room, but using the same color with surely create a sense of unity in the room.
Use abstract and contemporary art. A piece of contemporary art will help in conceal the antiqueness of the other products such as furniture available in the room.
Choose an object that helps to link the traditional as well as the modern. For example, if you have Phillippe Starck’s acrylic Louis Ghost Chair as a part of Modern Furniture, then the chair’s traditional silhouette is an excellent method to bring a bit of the past into your modern interior. The other objects that can be used are lamps, chandeliers and sculpture.
This will help in creating a perfect blend of the traditional and the modern.
Make the traditional look modern. Well, I am you did not get this point. For example, if you have an English settee, then you can cover it with lime green fabric or any other contemporary fabric. These modern colors will probably help your traditional stuff look modern.
Choose eclectic furniture arrangement that is balanced but not matched. When your furniture style varies, a symmetrical furniture arrangement will surely provide you with the differences.
Keep scale in mind. While mixing furniture styles, look out for the pieces that are more or less the same height or size. Check out for styles that have a common aesthetic design.
Usage of carves Indian doors as a room divider is a perfect way to bring in a touch of antiqueness to your modern interior. Mixing furniture of different eras requires a lot of skill and is a tricky task. So, just focus mainly on one or two divergent pieces. So, I hope this will help you to develop a good interior for your homes.
