Eclectic Mid-Century Modern decor brings in energy from the living source, cementing the space with natural materials and vintage rustic woods, then bringing in beautiful textures and bright hues with artistic accents new and old. Renovating a building that has a historic character, like the 1920s Spanish Colonial house in Miami, is about striking a balance between old and new, making the house holistically complete while still honoring its heritage. Keeping the original rustic oak ceiling beams, floors and French windows intact is crucial to the renovation.
While the main footprint of the house did not change, nearly every other element in the kitchen, bathrooms, guest bedroom, and living room has changed. Elegant and simple lighting, barn doors, marble tile floors and impressive design, the energy flows in the house very simply and systematically. Mixing fresh, modern New York style with contemporary Southern design meant decorating with mid-century rustic tables and cabinets mixed with unique antiques and bold designs.
Enter a bold color palette by choosing a vibrant shade, like purple, for a hallway or powder room. It’s unexpected and attention-grabbing and a perfect backdrop to showcase your eclectic art. An antique window frame or wall archway with your selected art collection against a purple wall! Great and holistic!
Decorating with handmade furniture with reclaimed woods and functional art that has a history, a meaning, a motif that defines its presence, is seen in the antique cabinets with antique doors carved with sunbeams and floral designs. An 18th-century Indian console and cocktail table made from antique windows with a beautiful distressed rug complete the picture.
Visualize your home from a holistic point of view, each room balances the other in such a way that the flow of energy is welcoming and energizing. Bringing old world vibes with Tree of Life barn doors into the mix creates a home that will never feel dated.
Accent tables with turquoise and vintage blue patina are chic and add a fun touch to an otherwise plain room. Repurpose an old fashioned Tibetan herb mortar on a coffee table and use it as a low seat to relax on while sipping your herbal teas. The healing energy of the 200 year old solid wood herb mortar envelops you in its warmth.
Bringing nature into your home is healing, find some unique items like the natural sandstone buddha and surround it with green plants and crystals, creating a vortex of energy. A luxurious, serene and relaxing home where you feel relaxed and comfortable, the old world architecture and decor are also immense treasures.
