Classic and traditional furniture can be an acquired taste… you tend to either really love it or not like it much at all. There’s a lot to be said however for compromise in this department… you can actually blend traditional and modern rather well without your entire interior having to consist of antique armoires and chandeliers! A couple of objects with a classical feel here and there, and everything from your living room to your toilet can have a totally different look and feel. With this in mind we went on the hunt for some timeless interior objects which we think would work a treat with some of our more contemporary sofas and armchairs. Take a peek.
