Beloved designer Paloma Contreras is back with her second book, The New Classic Home, in which she focuses her sought-after design expertise on one of the most desired yet difficult tasks in decorating: how to design a space that successfully mixes traditional and modern elements.

How does one bridge the gap between such different concepts?
