Can we mix furniture?? Today’s trend in interior design is the mixing of periods and styles. It adds dimension and interest to any project. Most of the interior should, however, be unified by the same style, same period or same philosophy. In other words, a fine antique can absolutely work in an ultramodern space.
SébastienSiraudeau, a photographer and an author of "French Style at Home", illustrates the effortless way owners blend periods, from Gustavian antiques to Charles Eames chairs to industrial-steel cafe furniture. "Technology and comfort can all be mixed in an old-style house here," he says. "In France, young people don't avoid antiques or old family things. They actually like to recycle objects from the past and maybe use them in a new way, especially if they provide a link to their childhood"….
