Being a decorator, I have no fear of items that are ........decorative.....you'd be surprised how few 'designers' know historic styles. You see thousands of rooms filled with new 'antiques' that you will find at your best friend's house right after you've finished yours.....or scads of upholstery with monotonous shapes all dressed in beige. Nothing of interest for miles. So I like to mix things up a bit, some new with some old, high and low. The aim is create rooms that feel timeless.
Today, I'm looking at a 19th Egyptian Revival sofa
A tall marble tazza
A chippy iron center table with acanthus leaves
Any of these items could live in an ultra modern ot traditional interior....
