Visiting a museum can be fun but living in one is isn't
so much fun.
However adding a family heirloom or flea market find to
the mix in your home is great. If everything is too slick and matchy it can look like you got snagged by a good furniture salesman.
Adding something with
some history makes a statement that you have lived an interesting life and
accumulated things over time. Place an old trunk in front of a clean lined sofa
or try a slightly worn and dinged up side table that can play nicely off a comfy recliner.
Clutter is out but collections can always be featured in groupings perhaps by
color to settle them into your environment. Restraint may be the key. Have fun
with it! A touch of the unexpected makes life sweeter.
