It is normal that in our time you wish to have several masterpieces of the past in your home. This, of course, is possible only with one condition that in such a modern house the old furniture should be placed without taking into account its practical application. As it, as a real sign, shows the refinement of your taste. To do this, select Furniture in size, appropriate to your home.
Remember that earlier this furniture was harmoniously inscribed in the walls surrounding it. After all, the artist who painted samples for the cabineturist studied the shape of the chest of drawers, bedside tables, tables, cabinets and even sofas, repeating the motives of framing framing, leaning towards the wall of the room. Thus, the furniture truly turned into an architectural element of the interior, and not into the accessory, more or less well-fitted walls along the plane.
| Nowadays, the methods of introducing antique furniture in the architecture of the interior differ. So, now do not try to redo the scenery of the walls around the furniture, all the more coordinate them will not work in any way. On the contrary, isolate this piece of artwork by emphasizing its antiquity corresponding to his atmosphere style. |
For this, above all, Consider the proportion: The chest or sterchase dresser presses nearby. The standing gentle seat. A close-up cabinet in a low ceiling room looks monumental.
Following, Consider materials and color : Avoid the neighborhood of an old and modern tree. With old furniture, it combines well: forged iron, faience, glass, coarse mating fabrics, vegetable fiber pales, natural stone. Live and contrasting color, emanating from large planes, are usually equalized by a dark tone of the tree.
Old furniture Requires sophistication : varnishing, gold-plated metal, mirrors, silk or velor in white, yellow, gray, gray, blue or green, necessary for harmonization with a lighter, shiny tree. Colored spots and small motifs on the tissues are useless. Most importantly, by creating an atmosphere around an old masterpiece, do not fake, but to remove the required era.
Finally Consider subjects : Modern things and paintings are very well neighboring with antique furniture. Abstract canvas, modern carpet or photo is better combined with geometric lines of old chests or chests and does not make them "excess" of the past.
