Throw electric color
Paint this Victorian fire surround neon pink is a simple thing, yet so effective. And there is nothing to lose, because it is both cost effective to reach and simple to change. This owner has subtly picked the colors of the fireplace and the wall in the carpet, so that the effect of the painting is not completely random, but the rest of the room is white -. A knockdown is enough

Welcome to Aga
Agas should be one of the best pieces to bridge old and new. They work in all cooking styles, full of traditional or modern, as here, to smooth and contemporary. This rich red beauty works wonderfully in this monochromatic scheme but Agas now come in a range of colors, from the traditional neutral baby pink and powder blue. There are also electric models, so even the least enthusiastic cooks can add the heritage character in an elegant space.

Let the old and new materials help each
old and new items can do more than exist in harmony - they can positively stimulate each other. These two walls - a bare, yellow brick and the other barely there glass sheets - work together, the glass shed light on the bricks to really highlight the texture and warm brick the glass elements and discussing with garden materials beyond. Far from feeling out of place, materials seem like the best of friends.

Focusing on furniture
upholster a traditional chair in a modern fabric is a tip of classic design, and for good reason - the possibilities are enormous. Hunt on a chair as a wing-back in junk shops or antiques fairs, and have re-covered in one of the many new fabrics available for a nice juxtaposition of vibrant design and classic lines. This works for both lift a traditional diet, without shaking, or to add some softer lines in a contemporary room.

Consider contemporary art
Even if your house is full to the brim with period features, like a Victorian fireplace, exposed floors and paintings of heritage, you can always add a flash color and fun in the form of modern art. This piece shakes comfortable system, but in colors that tone with the rest of the room, so that the effect is dizzy yet pleasant.

Beautify your bathroom
mix of styles does not have to mean the whole country and contemporary. The owners of this bathroom, which has a Victorian style, high loo cistern, introduced a art deco atmosphere with wallpaper black and white fan. This simple panel does not jar, like the rest of the room is white with black accessories, but is sufficient to give the room an extra dimension.

Take a look outside
the old and new blend can be applied to the exterior of your home, too. Build a glass box extending over a period property is extremely popular due to the fact that, rather than trying to match the style, or adding an extension that fights with him, the glass simply allows original architecture to shine through.
