Designer Paloma Contreras's guide to pairing traditional style with modern design to create classic interiors with a touch of glamour and an infusion of color Beloved designer Paloma Contreras is back with her second book, The New Classic Home, in which she focuses her sought-after design expertise on one of the most desired yet difficult tasks in decorating: how to design a space that successfully mixes traditional and modern elements. How does one bridge the gap between such different concepts? By walking readers through her four main techniques--Color, Texture & Pattern, Scale & Proportion, and Tension--Contreras demonstrates how to successfully pair seemingly disparate pieces from different eras and styles to create harmonious, timeless, and balanced interiors. With spectacular photography and personalized design tips, TheNew Classic Home divulges how to blend vintage pieces into even the most contemporary settings, highlight favorite elements of any architectural style, freshen classic silhouettes, and create layered, interesting spaces that always include an element of modern surprise with a touch of elegant antiquity.
