Combining classic, elegant design with a modern, period flair is very much in vogue. Minimalist aesthetics combined with the charming details of historic buildings create a harmonious living concept. Purism, with clean lines, natural materials, and a minimalist color palette, perfectly showcases period apartments. In this article, we show you how to combine these two stylistic elements and how posters , canvas prints, or modern pop art works from Artist Army can enhance your living space.
1. Purist Design: Basics and Inspiration
Purism is characterized by clear structures, minimal decoration, and high-quality materials. High ceilings, large windows, and characteristic period elements such as stucco or herringbone parquet provide the perfect foundation for implementing this elegance.
What is important is:
- Minimalism as a guideline : Less is more – focus on a few, but striking pieces of furniture.
- Natural materials : wood, glass, metal and stone are the focus.
- Light colors : white, beige and gray dominate, small accents in black or aubergine provide contrast.
2. Give old building a modern flair
Period apartments captivate with their uniqueness—think high ceilings, historic details, and wide windows. With a modern twist, you can create a timeless atmosphere.
- Colour scheme : Neutral and calming, ideal for a spacious feeling.
- Combine textures : herringbone parquet meets glass or metal accents.
- Incorporate modern artwork : Pop art canvas prints or abstract modern paintings add a contemporary touch.
3. Modern art as an eye-catcher: posters and canvas prints
Artworks are more than just decorations—they reflect personality and taste. Posters and canvas prints, in particular, are enjoying growing popularity.
