Vintage Style

A vintage style living room welcomes all the furniture and items that tell a story, have signs and cracks to prove they’ve been part of some other life. Any lanterns, vases, chests of drawers, etc you found on your grandparents’ attic or at the flea market will give that cozy atmosphere of nostalgia. The vintage style favours natural materials: wood, stone, bricks, and natural fabrics. Colour-wise, choose rather toned colours, greys and browns, saving the more vivid colours for accent pieces, like a red or yellow shade floor lamp, patterned cushions, old movie posters or cult wall prints. Vintage style loves floral accents, be it on the throw blankets, pillows, room dividers or mural wallpapers. In terms of furniture, the focus is on upholstered sofas, cozy soft chairs and footstools, vintage wooden coffee tables and wall units. A discreet carpet on the floor nicely complements the whole lived-in look of the vintage interior.

A vintage style bedroom equals appealingly old-fashioned furniture and decorations in toned colours. The vintage style is inspired by the past decades, each with its own characteristics. It’s like taking the most appealing bits and combining it into our own individualistic whole, hence the mixing of materials and forms - metal, brass, wood, plastic. NNo one should be surprised then that a metal frame bed, a natural focal point of the room, is coupled with a quirky bedside table with fancy knobs and curved legs, and a retro dressing table with a wooden chair. A plastic shade table lamp and a glamorous chandelier may nicely complement the whole vintage look. Top it all off with atmospheric decorations - a set of photo frames you found in your grandma’s attic, a mirror in an ornamented frame and patterned cushions. Use your creativity to evoke the charm of the previous eras.
