Fuse old and new furniture to create a layered interior that transcends time
There are few of us who could walk past a genuine mid-century piece such as the Noguchi coffee table and not drop everything to buy such a beauty. But taken out of the context of an antique shop and plonked in your living room, you suddenly have doubts about making such a bold purchase. Vases look wrong, colour schemes fall apart. But there is a way to style such wonderful pieces while maximising 21st-century shopping and home decor.
Stick to neutral colours to fuse age-old wood with contemporary couches. For modern pieces, look for good dupes and replicas to help patch genres together, like the much-loved Acapulco chair which has been making waves this summer. If you’re in need of inspiration, look no further than beachy Californian style. With honeycomb-shaped houses and ranch-style windows, these houses are enhanced by contemporary interior design, not hindered.
