There’s a certain magic that happens when you combine the old with the new, the refined with the rustic, the storied with the handmade. Blending antiques with vintage finds and artisan pieces creates a layered, soulful space that feels deeply personal—and effortlessly chic.
Here’s how to achieve the collected-over-time aesthetic that tastemakers and designers love:
Start with a Statement Antique
Anchor your space with one standout antique—think a Louis XVI mirror, a carved console, or a neoclassical chest. These pieces set the tone and lend history and depth.
Layer in Textures & Tones
Introduce warmth with vintage textiles, handmade ceramics, or artisan-crafted lighting. The mix of old patina and handmade imperfection creates contrast and charm.
Mix Periods with Purpose
Pair an 18th-century armoire with a mid-century modern chair. Let eras speak to each other. The key? Repetition of color, tone, or material to create visual harmony.
Collect What You Love
Forget the rules—curate your space like you’d curate a life. A vintage Moroccan rug, a 1930s vase, a handwoven throw—all tell a story and bring soul into your space.
Design Tip:
Balance is everything. Mix ornate with minimal, smooth with rough, classic with playful. When each piece has personality, your home becomes a reflection of you.
Whether you're just starting your collection or curating the perfect vignette, we can help you find the piece that ties it all together.
