Old House Journal

Renovation Lookbook 2023

PERIOD ROOMS are the goal of a very small niche of old-house owners.

Most of us take an eclectic approach, mixing handed-down furniture and comfortable pieces with the occasional splurge. Spare, mid-century chairs can play well in a room dripping with ornamental plaster, for example. Furniture complements a room by virtue of its proportion, shape, material, and fabric pattern. Matching period is of course a shortcut to a good fit: Hepplewhite furniture in a Federal house, furniture designed by C.F.A. Voysey for a Tudor, as examples.

She's not alone in her desire for personal scale and place-making in home design; this is a common human need.
