Cross-century Integration | Combination of Modern and Antique Furniture

During decoration, some people like antique style and some people like modern style. Is it possible to combine these two? In fact, it is. A little modification in the home decoration and adding some different style furniture or decorations can harmoniously combine the modern and retro styles.

 

 

Combination of Modern Style and Retro Style Furniture

We can choose to use solid wood furniture in the choice of furniture. The solid wood furniture itself is retro style, with brass door hardware, such as brass door handles, brass door knobs, brass cabinet pulls and brass drawer pulls.  Moreover, the solid wood and brass hardware are both beautiful and durable. Even after ten years of use, the solid wood can still be preserved and is very good. Since we have chosen retro-style mahogany furniture, we can choose modern styles for floor tiles and wallpaper, such as beige floor tiles, which will not look too obtrusive when matched with solid wood furniture, but will have a simple atmosphere.

 

In addition, we can work hard on the ceiling. We can choose a wood frame with a color similar to furniture and a color similar to solid wood for decoration, and then match it with modern spotlights, including the main light and the auxiliary light, all of which can be modern, but it is best to choose square lamp instead of chandelier, because the square lamp matches the overall style better.

 

Speaking of modern style, wine racks are naturally indispensable. We can customize a solid wood wine rack next to the kitchen or restaurant, which looks very harmonious. In addition, we can choose antique brass cabinet handles and other retro-style decorations to harmoniously combine modern style and retro style.

 

 

 

Antique Decorations Blend into Modern Furniture

If you feel a pity because you have long-stored antiques at home but don't know how to use them, today we will explain how to incorporate antiques into modern furniture. Pairing antiques with modern furniture, the mix and match of materials and colors will create an interesting and modern style. When matching antique furniture, we can be bold and emphasize the combination of new and old. Strong contrast can create a dramatic effect and help highlight the natural quality of antique furniture.

 

Combining antique furniture with modern furniture can yield a beautiful and practical furniture. For example, we can convert old sculptures, vases and other decorations into modern table lamps and other decorations. Or we can hide modern appliances in antique furniture, such as convenient power sockets built into the furniture. In addition, we can add some antique brass handles to the outside of antique furniture, while retaining the authenticity of antique materials in other parts, so that we can make full use of antique furniture without destroying the retro style of antiques. But we should be cautious about transforming precious antiques, because destroying the original structure of antiques will reduce the value of antiques.
