Many people view ancient and modern as worlds apart, and opt for one or the other when it comes to choosing an interior style. This book shows how putting the two together can create bold, dramatic effects.
Many people view ancient and modern as world's apart, complete opposites, and opt for one or the other when it comes to choosing an interior style. This book shows how putting the two together can create bold, dramatic effects and lead to an enriching and individual environment for the twenty-first century. From a modern American apartment with antique furniture to a conversion of an ancient cow-shed with salvage fixtures and fittings painted a uniform white, the book gives many inspiring examples of mixing the old with the new. It offers practical solutions for low-budget interiors and shows how to create a harmonious collection of old and new objects overtime. Ancient and modern elements can be mixed throughout the home, and the book covers every type and size of living space, including both conventional rooms and contemporary open-plan areas such as lofts. Many possible combinations of old and new are explored, using old and new furniture, fixtures and fittings, and key details like textiles, lighting, utensils, art, and objects. The central theme underpinning the book is the continuity between ancient and modern - the fact that elements from different times and cultures are connected by common forms and a shared aesthetic. Both text and photographs show how many ancient objects are startingly modern in concept and design, and how many modern forms are continuations of ancient motifs.
