Old world style design and decor
The old world style connects us with the traditional artistic historical past where everything was made by hand and had a purpose, a meaning for its presence and an energy to share. Old World style is a collage of design styles that spread in the early 18th century, its influences coming from various regions of the East, be it the Mediterranean coast or the Indian subcontinent. But no matter where they originate, the look and feel of ancient architecture and royalty from centuries past will always have their unique charm.
The old world look offers an eclectic interplay between warm and conventional interiors. The furnishings are antique but stately, the rooms opulent yet cozy. Old world doors carved with the elements of nature such as sun rays and blooming lotus give us the grounding and grounding energy. Elaborately carved entrance arches and solid wood columns with stone bases, the dynamic change of energy resonates throughout the house.
You love the feel of old wood, rustic weathered patinas and hand-carved antique doors turned into chai tables, wheeled hope chests with their eclectic charm and iron straps, each piece has historic charm and purpose. Hope chests bring with them the dreams of the new bride and the blessings of her parents as she begins her new journey with her husband. The Haveli gate is overflowing with aged brass, gold and lotus carvings, iron nails go through the solid teak wood and bend back so that the ions attracted by the metals are grounded through the wood. Power balance design is necessary today in our 21st century where all electronic devices are accessed remotely and electromagnetic charge wreaks havoc on our health.
Rustic interiors are simple and have an unassuming connection to the past. The feel of kamasutra carved barn or carved tribal barns is honest, worldly and evokes a simpler time when we sit together as a family for tea or dinner. Reclaimed woods and repurposed cabinets provide an impressive showcase for creativity. Today’s world is virtual and the connection to the real is lost, the rustic style of the old world is boldly earthy and obviously real.
