Understanding Heirloom
Sweep back the curtain to reveal the glitz and glamour of Heirloom. This Amphis Decorative style brings the drama. Discover how these pieces will make your next project sparkle.
Heirloom embraces the bold and the beautiful. This style combines rich materials like marble and fluted glass with luxurious finishes such as gold and brass. It’s a blend of classical, retro-elegance and art deco influences, all working together to create theatrical, high-impact pieces. Rebecca Barker, Amphis’s product manager weighs in. “Heirloom doesn’t shy away - it says, ‘I’m here’! Whether it’s a grand chandelier or ornate pendant, this style is all about drawing focus and commanding attention.”
Who is this style for?
Heirloom is perfect for those who love embellishment and aren’t afraid to embrace maximalism in their spaces. It appeals to people who want to infuse their home with richness and depth. These are individuals who value decadence and glamour in their interiors, seeking to make a statement with pieces that exude presence and luxury.
Confident in their style, they appreciate timeless elegance over fleeting trends and often incorporate retro flair to reflect their unique personality. As Rebecca explains, “It’s perfect for someone who wants their home to feel luxurious and have real presence."
Using Heirloom
When working with Heirloom, the key is to embrace the drama. Now is not the time to be shy. Start by anchoring the room with a statement piece, such as an oversized chandelier or a statement wall lamp, and build the design around it. As they say, go big or go home!
Rebecca emphasises that, “Heirloom isn’t about matchy-matchy.” This style thrives on layering - combine textures, finishes and colours to add depth and visual interest. Don’t be afraid to mix and match retro-inspired elements with contemporary touches to create a truly personalised space. Rooted in historical influence, Heirloom falls naturally into style categories with similar traditional roots. Find these pieces at home in art deco or French provincial-inspired interiors.
When it comes to colour, saturated jewel tones up the ante. Be brave with ruby, aubergine or midnight blue. To adapt the style to more laid-back interiors, build from a base of neutrals. A cream, pastel or grey palette leaves space for the fittings and finishes to do the talking.
