Many people view ancient and modern as worlds apart, complete opposites, and opt for one or the other when it comes to designing an interior. This book shows the bold and dramatic effects that can be created by putting the two together. From a modern apartment with antique furniture to a Georgian townhouse with a white-painted contemporary interior to a conversion of a brick factory with salvage fixtures and fittings, it gives many inspiring examples of mixing the old with the new, showing how walls and floors, furniture and storage, lighting and objects can all play a part in creating the aesthetic. It offers solutions for both traditional and contemporary interiors and for every type of living space, from kitchens to home offices.--From publisher description.
