A Guide to Shopping for Antiques

When Choosing Color

Only choose what you love. It should never be about trends or fashion, or a carbon copy of someone else’s style. Our relationship with color is emotional – it affects our moods, senses and happiness. It’s okay if your style evolves over time.

Consider your Feelings

Write down the feelings you wish to evoke. This will help you make clearer choices. Take inspiration too from the palette of your favorite object, piece, painting or the landscape around you.

Think Sustainability

Using layers of old furniture alongside newer pieces adds a patina and richness that are impossible to replicate. It also gives you the space a sense of provenance and history that can be passed on to the next generations.

Start a Collection

Collections are not necessarily collectibles, they do not have to be of value. Trust your eye and not what is fashionable. If a collection sparks and excites imagination, then it will remain timeless.

When Choosing Lighting

Never underestimate the power of atmosphere. Always use dimmer switches and take time to enjoy the rituals of burning a fire and burning a candle. They all add depth to the light, regardless of the season.

When Choosing Fabrics

Mix what you love. Think stripes and checks, florals and plaids, leopard print and toile, ticking and abstract, loose and tight weaves, hand-painted or block-printed, and always mix antique, vintage and new.
