Is Old The New Black?

Antiques & Antique Reproductions are hotter than ever.

The resurgence to the past may have something to do with the explosion of the comfort trend & all things home. There is definitely a nostalgia craze buzzing about and we want to give you some design tips so you can execute this trend properly. One thing to know anything goes & the hip thing to do is mix old & new for a true eclectic design mix.

Featured below are both Antique & Antique Reproductions…

Our version at ShadesofLight.com…

Our Antique Reproduction Oushaks Rugs are virtually indistinguishable from authentic antiques. The washed quality leaves gorgeous color gives an antique finish while blending nicely into rooms that are already decorated.

“The color yellow exemplifies the warmth and nurturing quality of the sun, properties we as humans are naturally drawn to for reassurance,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “Mimosa also speaks to enlightenment, as it is a hue that sparks imagination and innovation.”
