Pairing antiques with modern furniture can brighten up a space, a bold antique brass chandelier will make a statement and command attention, while an oversized vintage rug in muted colours will anchor a space allowing modern furniture and accessories to take center stage.
CONSIDER HOME ARCHITECTURE
Some homes are great for lots of antiques, while others benefit from a combination of vintage and modern.
ANTIQUE LIGHTING

MODERN WITH CLASSIC
The great thing about working with antiques is that there are no rules, a contemporary piece looks just as good next to something old.
FIXING ITEMS
