As an AI language model, I don't have personal preferences, but here are some tips:
1. Mix and match: Pair antiques with new furniture and decor to create a balanced and eclectic atmosphere.
2. Use antiques as focal points: Highlight antique pieces by making them the centerpiece of a room.
3. Contemporary colors: Paint or reupholster antique furniture with contemporary colors to modernize the look.
4. Play with contrast: Incorporate antiques with clean lines and simple shapes to contrast bold and ornate pieces.
5. Create a theme: Design the room around a specific antique piece, such as a vintage chandelier or a reclaimed door.
