Timeless influences meet contemporary elements in Modern Heritage. The style takes cues from vibrant cultures and global interiors. The result is intentional, curated, and meaningful spaces.

There is a particular focus on bold pattern, rich colour, and vintage design features. The style also places an emphasis on blending old and new features. The result is a home that feels effortless, lived-in, and timeless, which will truly stand the test of time. See how you can incorporate the Modern Heritage style into your own home below. 

Experiment with Mixing Patterns and Prints

Patterns truly set the scene in global interiors.

However, use patterned and printed fabrics wisely, as too many can overwhelm a look. Choose designs that pay homage to vintage textiles, such as Persian-rug-inspired prints. Showcase the beauty of such designs by presenting on a larger scale, such as on a curtain or sofa. Mix different styles of pattern. Pair a Jacobean floral with a more contemporary ikat or geometric. Finally, add in stripes or checks. Use designs with different scales so that they can harmonise. Keep your colour palette to three colourways. This prevents your scheme from becoming too busy.

Pair Old and New Design Elements Together

Modern Heritage Interiors are all about mixing classic and contemporary elements.

Mix heritage furniture, such as an elegant armchair, with a contemporary side table. Upholster furniture in timeless designs, such as checks and small-scale weaves. Furnish with cushions in contrasting patterns to strengthen the contemporary theme. Score bonus style points by introducing any trinkets acquired from your travels. Finally, finish off the room with floor-length curtains in a contemporary tropical print.

Introduce Rich Colourways to Your Space

Present vibrant colours through pieces such as curtains or upholstery.

Start off with a neutral base on your walls. Introduce richer colours through accents and soft furnishings. Use curtain fabric and upholstery to create a focal point with rich tones. Choose shades such as earthy reds and browns. Pair these with opposing shades such as vibrant teals. The result is a stunning contrast, yet each colour works in harmony to create depth and interest.

Give Treasured Pieces of Furniture a New Lease of Life

Upcycle furniture with a fabric of your choice for a stylish, sustainable approach to décor.

Whether you own a cherished piece or you simply spot a pre-loved item, don’t let it go to waste. Vintage furniture is perfect for the Modern Heritage style. This especially rings true when you pair with a contemporary fabric. Have an antique sofa or armchair reupholstered in a pretty small-scale weave. Alternatively, place a new set of scatter cushions upon your furniture. Choose a mixture of designs, such as bolder geometrics and stripes, for an instant uplift.
