The trend: Modern decoration with antique pieces
In fact, we can say that modern and antique are destined to complement each other. The integration of antique pieces adds class and distinction to unique spaces, bringing personality and appeal.
How to create attractive spaces with antique pieces?
These three antique pieces by Roberto Arnal could be perfect for your modern decorations. However, if all three pieces are in the same room, they might compete for attention, overwhelming the space. Separating them could grant each room an exclusive originality.
Key factors for decorating with antiques
-
Balancing antiques and modernity: The key is to combine antique pieces with a modern and simple background that allows each object to stand out without overwhelming the space.
-
Creating visual harmony: Using a neutral and light color palette ensures that antique pieces shine without darkening the atmosphere, adding elegance without exaggeration.
-
The art of exclusivity: Placing a single antique piece in a central location can completely transform a room, highlighting its character and adding a touch of distinction to the space.
Many antiques tend to have dark tones and can make a room feel somber or create overly cluttered spaces with an outdated feel. That’s why it’s essential to carefully combine them. Neutral backgrounds are ideal to maintain originality without being boring while highlighting the piece.
Avoid cluttered spaces with light backgrounds.
Every space has its own characteristics, but experts recommend giving the antique piece a prominent place in the room. Additionally, it’s important to consider the materials and elements that make up the space, such as curtains, glass, frames, mirrors, floors, and shelves.
Two or more antiques in the same space?
Most experts recommend giving prominence to a single piece, advising against placing several antique pieces in the same space as it can become overwhelming. As is often said, “less is more,” and choosing the best piece for that space is usually the best choice.
