This book beautifully illustrates how to blend vintage and contemporary styles, creating a warm, inviting space that feels both modern and nostalgic. Heritage Style is a guide to achieving this.
In Heritage Style, Selina Lake explores the resurgence of nostalgic design in contemporary interiors. This book emphasizes the beauty of incorporating vintage and inherited furniture, alongside unique accessories, to create a fresh and original aesthetic. Lake's approach encourages readers to embrace the charm of the past while integrating it into modern living spaces, thus celebrating the stories that these pieces can tell.
The significance of our homes has grown, making the heritage style particularly appealing. It evokes a sense of comfort and familiarity through elements such as panelling, wallpaper, and floral fabrics. These traditional components serve as a backdrop for vibrant house plants, contemporary art, and crafts, creating a harmonious blend of old and new. The warmth of upholstered and wicker furniture, combined with decorative details and soft cushions, invites a welcoming atmosphere that feels both personal and lived-in.
Heritage Style not only reflects a comforting aesthetic but also promotes sustainability by encouraging the use of pre-owned and vintage items. With tips on sourcing these treasures from online auctions and social media, Lake demonstrates how to breathe new life into classic pieces. This book offers inspiration for creating a home that is both nostalgic and modern, filled with character and comfort, making it easy to live in and enjoy every day.
The book is all about balancing period properties with modern life, and evoking a 'modern sense of nostalgia', showing us how to preserve the past while bringing in our own heritage and personal style - Homes & Antiques
