Why you shouldn't throw away that piece of furniture you don't like at all, inherited from your grandmother

We find ourselves in a time when all the decorative trends are appearing and they are all perfectly mixable with each other .

Finally, we're leaving behind the era in which every home followed the same trend from start to finish, starting with the bed, continuing with the nightstands, and ending with the console tables... everything matching, everything in the same style.

Now a super modern 20th century design piece coexists perfectly with another from the period and, furthermore, if you can add the artisanal touch more related to popular culture , it will be the perfect mix without clashing .

This is why you absolutely should not throw away that piece of furniture inherited from your grandmother that you don't like at all. There's a solution for everything (except we all know what, as the saying goes).

Today I want to show you an 18th-century walnut three-seater sofa that, at first glance, before its restoration, would probably be the last thing that would ever be in my house (and in many other houses). It had it all : a lot of carving, a dark, glossy finish, velvet upholstery with green brocade and matching cord. Rococo squared. Definitely worth a try.

Goodbye, grandma's upholstery! Welcome to the wonderful world of textile design we now have!
Let's also say goodbye to the darkness and eliminate the brilli brilli, giving way to natural wood, the nobility of walnut (in this case) and the wonderful matte appearance it offers us.
