OLD-SCHOOL CHARM
"Antiques and vintage items pay homage to the past and add extra personality and eclectic style to your home."
What's old is new and what's new is old. Antiques and vintage items pay homage to the past and add
extra personality and eclectic style to your home. They also preserve the memories of those who
once had the great fortune of owning beautiful, one-of-a-kind pieces to embellish their space. To
add some retro charm to your home, bring out your Grandmother's antique floral porcelain vase and place it in the center of your dining table. Or add some
brilliance to your living room with an art-deco table lamp. No matter what era you're partial to, there's
a piece of furniture or accessory that will help you create an entirely new look.
STAY AHEAD OF THE CURVE
Whereas straight lines and sharp edges lend a sleek, modern feel, rounded shapes add softness
to an interior space, giving it a warm ambiance. Going beyond circles, rounded shapes also include
egg shapes, ovals, arches, and more. If your space looks too much like a geometry worksheet, try
breaking up the harsh edges by adding a curved swivel chair or coffee table in your living room.
Or add some oomph in your hallway with a beautiful, oval-shaped mirror to reflect a sense
of freshness and relaxation that can't be seen with a traditional square or rectangle mirror.
ILLUMINATE WITH STYLE
" Coming in all shapes, sizes, and colors, decorative lamps can put a spotlight on different areas of your home."
Equal parts function and fashion, statement lamps are making a comeback this year and they're poised for a bright future. Coming in all shapes, sizes and colors, decorative lamps can put a spotlight on a different areas of your home (especially rooms that don't get a lot of natural light). On the quest for a stunning architectural piece? Try perching a sculptural-metal table lamp on your coffee table. If you're looking for something more subtle yet still striking, a Grecian-bust table lamp on your nightstand might just just be the inspiration you need to fulfill your New Year's resolution to read 30 pages of a novel every night before bedtime.
