Past Meets Present

Combine textures to marry elements of the past with the sophistica­tion of the present for a fully integrated design. Here’s how:

-

G Shop for Size. Start with a large, sturdy industrial piece around which to build a vignette. A vintage railroad cart, cast-iron salvage or set of repurposed lockers is ideal.

G Select a Color Palette. Monochroma­tic whites and neutrals are great for an understate­d look, but you might opt to pop in a favorite color or two.

G Use Artifacts as Art. Old books, vintage photograph­s, baskets and unique collectibl­es mesh together to blend eras with style.

G Go Natural. Incorporat­e wood objects and architectu­ral salvage into the display. Chippy balusters, wood frames and shapely mirrors create interest.

G Add Seasonal Touches. Tuck in fresh or faux greenery and consider draping a string of white lights to complete the look.
