While fresco-lined ceilings and abundant

mahogany are all very well, when it comes

to creating a modern version of grandeur,

the devil is in the smaller, more refined

detail. Interior designer Beata Heuman sells

an exquisitely curated collection of lifestyle

items on her website. The sculptural, bow-

like handles on her ironmongery are the sort

of attentive touches that will subtly elevate

a room. But dressing a modern space by no

means requires abandoning all traditional

elements. An antique console table can look

surprisingly chic when styled within a pared-

back, decluttered environment. The same

goes for lighting: a prominent candle-style

chandelier can really anchor a room. Look

for Cox London’s variation, which has

added a unique twist to the classic shape

by covering it in glimmering oak leaves.

Elegance redefined.
