In a Tudor-style home near Washington, D.C., interior designer Darryl Carter employed antiques such as a Renaissance Revival armchair and an antique French daybed against stark white walls.

Reclaimed-oak ceiling beams add a rustic touch to a crisp and clean kitchen.

In the breakfast room, a 1940s Italian chandelier hangs over a custom-made trestle table.

Carter often pairs vintage finds—such as the high-backed sofa and antique settee, shown here—with modern elements, like this sitting area’s concrete-topped cocktail table.

A neutral palette of beige and white is accented by a moody portrait with a gilded frame.
