Spaces that mix old and new pieces should reflect the owners ' style and personality .
“ Since we all retreated back to our own homes in early 2020 , I think we all wanted our home to not only function properly for us , but also make us feel comfortable and relaxed ,” he notes . “ Adding a little bit of character and warmth helps to achieve that feeling and sense of comfort .”
Fullen says that when his team works on a project , they get to know a lot about the owners and their families , try to uncover personal interests and assess the client ’ s current decor . Along the way , he “ collects ” items that play to those interests and can be used as decorative accessories or furnishings .
“ It is very easy to make a home feel collected over time if we delve into the interests of those that … live there ,” Fullen says . “ Consider using a vintage rug in a contemporary room setting . Pull out old black-and-white photos and create a collection , or mix art from different periods and styles and hang salon style .”
He also recommends visiting vintage stores or antique shops to see what catches your eye ; it doesn ’ t have to be a major investment to make a statement . Pair a contemporary house designed using glass and steel with an antique console in the entryway , and it would not look out of place . Meanwhile , he adds , a Spanish Revival home could be completely outfitted in contemporary furnishings .
“ Mixing old and new has no specific rules — use what you love ,” Fullen says . “ It ’ s your personal space and it should reflect each of the family members [ in its design and decor ].”
