00:00For some reason, heritage buildings just allow you to play with different areas
00:04in a way that, you know, modern buildings don't necessarily lean into.
00:13Rule number one, let the architecture lead and then layer with intention.
00:18Before adding in anything new, take cues from what already exists.
00:22Proportions, mouldings, patina and light. Respond to those details rather than competing with them.
00:28Once the foundations are honoured, you can begin layering in contemporary pieces
00:32that feel like a natural extension rather than an interruption.
00:35Rule number two, mix eras through materiality, not through matching.
00:40Heritage design is not about creating a museum piece.
00:43It's about creating contrasts in a thoughtful way.
00:46I love balancing old and new through materiality,
00:49pairing warm woods or brass with clean, contemporary finishes.
00:52When the textures talk to each other, the whole space feels cohesive.
00:56Rule number three, curate stories, don't replicate them.
01:00A heritage-inspired home should feel collected over time.
01:03Mix inherited pieces, antiques and modern design, but always with a point of view.
01:08Each element should add meaning, not clutter.
01:11Look for ways to weave narrative.
01:12A contemporary light over an antique table or a modern textile on a vintage chair.
01:17This will make the space feel lived in, personal and quietly elevated.
01:21And one-time children is two-time-to-date leads.
01:21Let's take these two-time-to-date leads.
01:21Let's take these three-time-to-date leads.
01:21Let's take this one.
