Contemporary Design Mixed with Antiques and Vintage...

Many of the latest furniture designs sit happily with choice antiques and vintage pieces. Not everyone has the courage to juxtapose contemporary design with antique or vintage, but when they are combined, the elements balance each other beautifully! And, like the mix of influences found in these pictures...it works! If you design an entire room in a certain period, it gets a little boring. Furniture right off the showroom floor might be fine for some, but others like to add their own, unique sense of style. If you mix periods, it gives you more layers, depth, and excitement! It adds freshness to the antiques, and the antiques soften the harshness of the contemporary stark lines. Contrast…Juxtaposition…Perfection!
