Need help mixing styles in new home

[nesharosado]

I’m moving into a new home soon and it’s full of modern accents - think lots of yellow gold, modern light fixtures, electric fireplace, acrylic cabinet handles, etc.

I won’t be swapping out any fixtures for a couple of years. It’s fine for now, but I need help blending my classic, elegant style with this ultra modern look.

Attached is a photo of our current nursery, to paint a picture of the style I’d like throughout our new space.

Any tips welcomed!

Replying to my own post with an idea to hopefully inspire other ideas….

Upholstery! I’m thinking to add textures and patterns that would tone down the modernized space. I think using jewel tone velvets, plaid, tassels, and/or florals against dark wood could give it a more classic and maybe “dark academia” look.

Thoughts?!
