How to unify the old with the new, incorporating time-old and timeless pieces to balance your space.
When setting out to tackle our Palm Springs project, Hyde Evans Design was tasked with the challenge of meeting somewhere in the middle between classic antique and modern contemporary. By balancing the proportions of the main features of the home itself and more contemporary accents and furnishings, we were able to achieve a level of personalized modern luxury.
“There is nothing more powerful than juxtaposition to make a room interesting,” Barbara Hyde Evans, Principal & Founder said.
Although the home was traditional, the scale of the rooms turned the space a bit more modern. In this project the majority of the furnishings, and all of the accessories, were antique or traditional- right down to the artwork.
“Antique pieces often have more details to them, lending them a natural juxtaposition to the cleaner lines of contemporary pieces,” Amy Lassila, Principal & Project Manager said.
Incorporating clean, contemporary lines and styles, the space was saved from appearing outdated or fussy.
Classic structures mixed with modern details elevates a space to newfound luxury.
