How do you design a space that successfully mixes traditional and modern elements?

In The New Classic Home, award-winning interior designer Paloma Contreras demonstrates how to successfully pair seemingly disparate pieces from different eras and styles to create harmonious, timeless and balanced interiors.

Contreras, who has been featured in many major publications including House Beautiful, Vogue, Elle Decor, the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal, artfully walks readers through the process of mixing old and new, blending vintage pieces into even the most contemporary of settings to create spaces that feel both elegant and inviting.

With full-color photographs and accessible design tips for balancing color, scale and proportion, the pages also illustrate how to highlight elements of any architectural style, freshen classic silhouettes, and create layered, interesting spaces that celebrate the character of a home.

The New Classic Home is a showcase of beautiful interiors and a source of inspiration for those looking to include an element of modern surprise with a touch of elegant antiquity. It encourages readers to embrace their personal style while appreciating the enduring appeal of classic design.
