10 THINGS NEED TO KNOW TO MIX MODERN AND CLASSIC STYLE

How to make good combination of Classic and Modern designs was always popular question. Especially for those who loves classic and at the same time wants to keep up with the last trends. Any room, regardless of size and layout can be designed in a modern style. The cost of furniture and materials used for interior design, does not really matter. Any little thing, such as decorative candle holders, can play in the design space more important than the big statues and expensive paintings. This is the value of modernity.  ALGEDRA's designers want to share with main things need to know to achieve balance between Classic and Modern Design:
