The great thing about modern interior design is how it builds on the past – and how the past can be brought back to life through a little artistic re-imagining. Design firms like Amir Ambiance have incorporated ancient stone, mural, stucco and other highly textured wall treatments into their repertoire, and it looks fantastic. If you’re stuck for what atmosphere you want to create, think about past trends, like Greek arches and gothic spires, and how these elements could be brought into your modern home. Using creative paint, accent pieces and even some remodeling, you can recreate the great interior movements of the past with a touch of modern appeal.
