The freshest style of decoration these days is … mixed style.
Tradition and modernity often work well together. Think of abstract art packed with chaise longues, or 18th-century-style toile wallpapers with 80’s lamps. The attraction lies in the soothing tension between styles. Sophisticated, artistic yet livable.
The latest slowback trends, as always, come from pop culture. Fascinating television series such as Outlander and Brigerton influence tartan check pillows, William Morris patterns, deer horn lighting, copper sconces, silver sconces, and Pinterest boards filled with daybeds. Gave it. Shake your winged fans with the “Regency core”.
What “Mad Men” did for mid-century modern, these recent series feature elements such as tufted sofas, oversized mirrors, chandeliers, golden accents, colorful florals or oriental prints. It was done for aesthetics in the early 19th century.
Modern elements ease the annoyance of frills and fur billows, highlight their characteristics and create a personal space that is not bound by a single style.
Cynthia Burns, founder of the New York-based online art gallery and curation business, said: “Some people don’t recommend putting a heavy Baroque French console table underneath modern photography.
“But anything is possible as long as the scale, color and architecture complement each other.”
Keep cool
Designers are not keen on destroying all the “old” features in the project. Rather than returning the room to studs, it often retains the details of the original architecture and adds modern elements and furniture.
Claire Paquin of Clean Design Partners in Scarsdale, NY brought au courant berry, salmon and ebony pops to the white Tudor living room through modern curvy seats, cushions and artwork, but gracefully. I left the beaded glass bay window as it was.
In Brooklyn, Maine, John Ike of New York-based design firm Ike Kligerman Barkley purchased the former Order of Odd Fellows building while renewing its 1895 structure while retaining many exterior and interior features. The living space on the third floor has original painted ceilings, moldings and deeply seated windows, but Ike features contemporary Italian furniture, Kartell tube lighting sculptures and IcoPrisi panels found on the street market. It is filled with duplicates. Modern elements help emphasize rather than reduce historical elements.
If you’re working on your own refurbishment and want to introduce vintage elements, consider adding damask tiles to your backsplash or feature wall. Artaic’s Dramati glass mosaic is worth a visit. Native Trails has a hand-hammered copper tub, and Daphne Bridgerton would have enjoyed it.
Chandeliers have their own moments as part of this trend. Look for traditional clear glass, the all-black version of Schonbek’s Hamilton chandelier, or the House of Hampton’s multi-colored chandelier.
Details, details
At a showroom in West Palm Beach, Florida, designer Jim Dub placed de Gournay’s L’Eden wallpaper with a captivating forest scene behind a glass protective sheet. The L’Atelier Paris kitchen range adds another sophisticated French country house element. Tailored white cabinets, sleek white worktops and luxurious upholstered chairs make everything look modern.
In her room at the 2019 Kip’s Bay Show House, designer Young Huh combined an 18th-century pillow-like Gustav chaise longue with a large Italian marble dining table and antique wing chairs. But the walls brought everything to the present, with some works from the Cynthia Burns gallery and a large Cubist-style black wallpaper from the Fromental. The completed room is sophisticated and playful.
Burns says there is a trick to making this look right.
“When combining contemporary art with vintage furniture, it’s important to consider the size and character of each piece,” says Burns. “There are certain times and styles of contemporary artwork and antique furniture that flows easily. Marble and airy gold plating of Swedish neoclassical works, like clean lines. Classic Chinese Ming style. Huanghua furniture. And here in Young’s showhouse space, the refined grandeur of 18th century French Belger. “
Brittney Herrera, interior designer and founder of Wildwood House, an online shop in Portland, Oregon, said: Equipped with traditional artwork, a modern version of a 17th-century cane chair, or an avant-garde dining table in your room will add depth as well as interest. “
Al fresco idea
Miami-based landscape designer Fernando Wong says the front and backyards can also benefit from a blend of styles.
“I’m always trying to mix contemporary and traditional,” he says. “We used a vintage rattan furniture set from Bonacina, one of Italy’s oldest furniture makers, bought it at auction from Brooke Astor real estate and combined it. McKinnon & Harris’s beautiful new drink cart. Like Authentic Provence. Throw some magnificent French Anduise jars from the garden antique store, and you’re in pretty good stuff. “
