Form Creates Character in Your Home
While there are no explicit rules involving the use of form, a good general guideline is to go with simplicity. Enrichment of shapes with carving or ornamentation can be beautiful as long as the decorations do not detract from the basic shape of the piece of furniture or accessory. If the shapes are kept simple, furniture from different periods can be very successfully combined, as long as their forms complement each other. This makes it easy to combine pieces you already own with new pieces to create a unified interior.
