3 Tips for Designing a Meaningful & Modern Space
Is it challenging to define your design style if you are split between a love for vintage treasures and a love of modern trends? Do you have a sentimental value for your cherished antiques? Rest assured, you can seamlessly blend the old and new into a harmonious, collected design by carefully curating and balancing these elements to create a unique and timeless aesthetic. Here's how to achieve that perfect fusion...
Tip #1: Prioritize Intention in Collected Design
In design, all the components in a space hold significance, and the stories behind the pieces contribute to the overall aesthetic. We prioritize designing your space around a feeling rather than a fixed aesthetic. We do this by understanding your goals and preferences so we can select items with intentionality. This involves curating a collection of elements that look great together and resonate emotionally, ensuring that each piece contributes meaningfully to the design.
Tip #2: Follow Flexible Design Rules in Eclectic Design
Design rules can (and should) be flexible. To maintain a cohesive and visually interesting balance, find common design elements that bridge the gap between vintage and modern pieces while following timeless styling rules.
Tip #3: Use Texture to Blended Design Styles
When dealing with antiques and heirlooms, prioritizing texture over color can create a timeless and cohesive design. By emphasizing texture, you can combine a diverse range of items, allowing their unique stories and materials to shine. The result is a visually harmonious space where color complements the overall aesthetic. Visual variety, when thoughtfully curated, will contribute to a sense of cohesion in a room filled with your cherished pieces. Want to add a punch of color or an eye-catching pattern?
