Mid-century magic
This classic shape (a triangular table top with rounded corners and a gold, metallic trim) was a staple in ‘50s homes. And its simple form and clean lines makes it equally at home in modern spaces. Pick one up from a vintage store or eBay and channel some retro charm.

Old meets new
If you like an eclectic mix of old and new, one option is to whitewash some of your older, vintage pieces to give them a clean, modern twist and unify the space. Junk shops are full of fabulous finds like this one – and can be transformed with a lick of white paint.
