Old world style connects us to the traditional artistic historic past where everything was made by hand and had a purpose, a meaning for its presence and an energy to be shared. Old world style is a collage of design styles that spanned the early 18th century, its influences coming from several regions of the east, be it the Mediterranean coast or the Indian subcontinent. But no matter where it’s origins, the look and feel of antique architecture and royalty of bygone centuries will always have its unique charm.
The old world look offers an eclectic interplay between warm and conventional interiors. Furnishings are antiqued yet regal, rooms are grandly opulent but welcoming. Old world doors carved with the elements of nature like the rays of the sun and the blooming lotus give us the earthing and grounding energy. Elaborately carved doorway arches and solid wood columns with stone bases, the dynamic shift of energy resonates through out the house.

The Haveli door brims with antiqued brass gold and lotus carvings, the iron nails go through the solid teak wood and are bent in backwards, such that the ions attracted to metals are grounded through the wood to the earth. Energy balance design is necessary today in our 21st century where all electronics are remotely accessed and the electromagnetic charge wreaks havoc with our health.
Rustic interiors are simple and have a connection to the past that is unpretentious. The feel of the kamasutra carved barndoor or the tribal carved barndoors is honest, old worldly and evokes a simpler time when we sat down together as a family over tea or dinner. Reclaimed woods and repurposed cabinets, they provide a stunning showcase for creativity. Today’s world is virtual, and the connection with the real is lost, rustic old world style is boldly earthy and obviously real.
