The Roanoker - September/October 2016 - 32
ADVICE FROM THE PRO:
Mickey Nelson Talks Home Design
To younger people who are offered generational
keepsakes:
"Keep the chest of drawers, keep the painting that
you like. A lot of the tchotchkes and accessories and
stuff, no, you might have your own stuff. You'll need
a sofa to sit on and a good coffee table, something
with character, is a hard find. Hang on to those and
incorporate them into your home style, even if you're
more modern. Use that one family heirloom to make
the rest of the room pop."
Personalize rooms with beloved artwork:
"Art is definitely personal and can be anything you
like. Buy some pieces from local artists and add an
interesting look to your room. Try a traditional painting
in a more contemporary room (or vice versa) and switch
things up from time to time. This is a way to make the
room completely yours or freshen up a space to feel
new again."
Patterns and colors
Carpeted hallway and the eating area are warm and cozy
thanks to natural light and neutral colors.
more sharp edge or contemporary. I've done both midcentury modern and contemporary, but I really like all the
German Bauhaus stuff. They
had great designers."
While Nelson does a lot of
mid-century work, most jobs
that come his way (and get
photographed) tend to be a
little more traditional. Nelson enjoys both types of design and in fact owns an antique shop, Antique Blue,
