400;\">, traditional images of graceful columns, a cladding made of natural materials like stone or brick and wide porches with blue-green painted ceilings immediately spring to mind. If you love this classical style, but long to add some contemporary elements, continue reading for our simple suggestions on how to introduce a modern style into your refined <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Southern home<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Let Your Rooms Tell a Story<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Southern<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> style often refers to the way the d\u00e9cor of a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">home<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> reflects the history of the residing family or the town. How do you transition your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">home<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to reflect this refined approach? Start by adding one antique into each of your main rooms. This can mean adding in family heirlooms for a personal touch or buying antique pieces that speak to you in some meaningful way. Whatever piece you choose can become a focal point for the room and the base for the rest of your style elements. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not feel as though you have to use antiques for its original purpose. You can easily rewire outdoor lanterns or other light fixtures for use inside the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">home<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Do you have an antique dresser that you love, but cannot use? Interior designer Rachel Halvorson suggested to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.southernliving.com\/home\/decor\/southern-style-decorating-tips\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Southern<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Living<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that instead of letting it mold in the garage, \u201c[use] an antique dresser as the vanity in the powder room.\u201d Of course, it might take you a moment or two to come to terms with the idea that the antique piece will be altered in order to repurpose it. Focus instead on the fact that this piece you love will now be seen on a daily basis while bringing its story with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Incorporate Personal Elements into Your D\u00e9cor<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In much the same way your heirlooms or antiques can add a story to your room, so can your personal pieces. Here, you can mix framed pieces with photographs and mirrors on a gallery wall. When arranged interestingly, these pieces can feel like an evolved collection of your history. Do you live in a city with an intriguing history? You can frame replicas of individual pieces that illustrate that history and incorporate it into your selection of personal photos on your display wall. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Experiment by Mixing Old and New Pieces<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve added your focal point antique, consider mixing in new, modern pieces. In fact, according to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.southernliving.com\/home\/decor\/southern-style-decorating-tips\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Southern<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Living<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \u201c[f]inding a way to perfectly balance your well-worn, loved antiques or family heirlooms with fresh, modern design and accents is the closest thing to <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Southern home <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">heaven.\u201d This does not mean that you have to fill every space with contemporary finds. For instance, hanging a piece of modern art that really speaks to you over an antique settee can provide a striking visual. Antique tables next to brightly upholstered chairs can make a statement. If you want to go with smaller modern accents, just adding a bit of mid-century lighting over an antique chair can make a significant impact. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Introduce Bold Color<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When making your plans for refreshing your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Southern<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">home<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, you may get the urge to add a bold color to your mix. Go for it! A bright yellow bedroom, particularly one in a more shaded part of your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">home<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, can feel refreshing and energizing. Accent walls can easily work when your overall palette has been relatively neutral. Paint the backs of bookshelves with something bold or even patterned for a touch of sophistication. Once you\u2019ve chosen which bold addition you want to make, select decorative elements that reflect or complement it. Upholstering can respond to it, as can pillows, vases, glassware or other pieces. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Going bold does not always mean choosing Pantone\u2019s color of the year, Ultra Violet, in every space. Sometimes, going bold means adding an unexpected color, like white, to a traditional piece. As illustrator Clare Pernice told <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/275306\/home-tour-bold-southern-colonial?slide=3414120\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Martha Stewart Living<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, their style epiphany was \u201cto give his grandparents&#8217; Victorian mahogany table a coat of thick white lacquer.\u201d Yes, it\u2019s a risk and should be done by professionals, if at all possible. But if the alternative is storing a fantastic dining table that can fit up to 22 in the garage because its current state doesn\u2019t fit your style, the risk is a manageable one. The result could be the perfect piece to add to your refined <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Southern home<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Add Different Materials into Your D\u00e9cor<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">home<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> revolves around a mostly neutral palette, adding in different materials can bring an interesting textural quality. There are no rules that prevent you from mixing linens with velvet or shearling wool. Mixing styles and textures can feel refined without becoming too sedate. You want your new d\u00e9cor to feel purposeful and collected, but not staid. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Don\u2019t Skip the Details<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often the things that set a refined <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Southern home <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">apart is the attention to details. This can refer to small elements like the elegant trim around doorways and intricately patterned wallpaper in pantries or more substantial changes like adding paneling to select walls or refinishing your original hardwood floors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Create a Synergy Between Indoor and Outdoor Style<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the warm weather comes, you know that you are going to gravitate outside. Long, lazy evenings spent with good friends or relaxing in your favorite chair are on the horizon. For a refined touch, create a synergy between your indoor and outdoor styles. Sturdy, upholstered pieces are vital to inviting evenings full of fun and relaxation. Interior designer Lisa Palmer tells <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.southernliving.com\/home\/decor\/southern-style-decorating-tips\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Southern<\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Living<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, \u201cComfortable outdoor upholstered furnishings with large teak or concrete tables are what I am showing my clients.\u201d Antique sideboards can be repurposed on wide front porches or back decks. They are perfect for highlighting floral arrangements or acting as serving stations for elegant outdoor dining. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Visit <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/bhgrecollection.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Distinctive Collection by Better <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Homes<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Gardens Real Estate<\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/bhgrecollection.com\/\">\u00ae<\/a> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">when you begin your journey to buy or sell your unique <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">home<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 nonhundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"background-color: rgba(255,255,255,0);background-position: center center;background-repeat: no-repeat;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;margin-bottom: 0px;margin-top: 0px;border-width: 0px 0px 0px 0px;border-color:#eae9e9;border-style:solid;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:20px;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\" style=\"background-position:left top;background-repeat:no-repeat;-webkit-background-size:cover;-moz-background-size:cover;-o-background-size:cover;background-size:cover;padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px;\"><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-separator fusion-full-width-sep\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;width:100%;\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-sep-clear\"><\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-2\"><p><a class=\"artlinks\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bhgre.com\/real-estate-agents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FIND A LUXURY AGENT<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<a class=\"artlinks\" href=\"https:\/\/bhgrecollection.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FIND LISTINGS IN THIS AREA<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<a class=\"artlinks\" href=\"https:\/\/bhgrecollection.com\/blog\/?page_id=461\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SUBSCRIBE NOW<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6291,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[311,61,301,91,171],"class_list":["post-6271","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-interior-design","tag-bathroom","tag-interior-design","tag-kitchen","tag-luxury","tag-spa"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Southern Homes | Refined Southern Style Homes | Better Homes &amp; Gardens Real Estate<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"From antique focal points to bold colors, there are numerous ways to update your home using refined Southern style elements.
