How many times have you come across a piece of furniture and loved the style and the lines, but didn't know quite what to do with it? This is something that we struggle with all the time. It seems that the more I try to make a piece fit into a specific aesthetic, the more it doesn't seem to work.
There are two simple solutions for this.
1. Stop fighting it! Let the piece tell you what it needs. Look at the lines, the period, and the condition of the piece and just go with it. If there are minor dings and flaws, don't be afraid to let them show. Just like people, these minor imperfections give character to the piece.
2. Have Fun! Stop thinking that every piece should look like it came from a museum. The root word for museum is muse. Let it be an inspiration to you and go for the funk.
Remember, the more fearless you are, the better the piece.
