Whether you live in a Georgian home, urban townhouse, spacious loft, modern condo or a bland new-build, there are always ways to inject traditional elements into a space. Scour antique shops and flea markets for chandeliers, candelabra, old portraits and elaborate frames. Introduce velvet, toile, paisley, florals, gold and furniture with tufting or nailhead trim. Or, paint walls a rich jewel tone and let hardwood flooring wear over time. These easy tips will help you embrace or build character in your space. Out with the new and in with the old!
