b'elements of surprise add interest to this scheme Rebecca Jansma of Space, Grace & Style suggests this alternative scheme:This scheme is an interpretation of the modern classic look: a blend of classic styling elements juxtaposed with very contemporary colours and a smattering of quirky modern and mid-century pieces to add an element of surprise. By being unconventional you can add interest and personality to a space, rather than it being too prescriptive. I also like to play with scalein this case by using a floor lamp, the shape of which is generally seen on tables. The colour scheme is serene and the design motifs classically inspired in keeping with the period of the home. Yet the unconventional elements keep it fresh and provide a reading room of classic elegance.mobile+61 419 105 121 emailspacegracestyle@ncable.net.auReseneFuel YellowAugustine wingback chair in charcoal linenTown & Country Stylewww.townandcountrystyle.com.auCushions in Sanderson ZahraSanderson Fabricswww.domestictextile.com.au+61 3 8888 8100 ReseneGold glazed ceramic stool Half Rice CakeMeizai Resene www.meizai.com.au Zion+61 3 9279 2888ReseneQuarter Stonewallillustration Resene Malcolm White WalnutIsabella Desk in antique black Town & Country Style www.townandcountrystyle.com.auRichard Hutten Dandelion (2004) replica pendant lightAbout Space www.aboutspace.net.au +61 3 9417 463525'
