"Mixing styles is the mainstay of 21st-century interiors." -- Miles Redd. Here ornate 17th-century-style chandeliers are combined with countrified checks in Carlos de Beistegui's dining room.

It's okay to turn it inside...Le Corbusier and Carlos de Beistegui decorated this terrace to look like a living room!

Go ahead...play with scale, like decorators Michael Coorengel and Jean-Pierre Calvagrac have done in this room.

It's okay to fake it and add a little humor to a scene, like what was created here by Hubert Le Gall.
