Vintage style

An ancient iron, toys, porcelain dolls, scratches, paints, slightly muffled scrapes, a grandmother's service - all this can be called unnecessary stuff. But those who prefer vintage style in the interior, do not agree with these words. With the help of these items, you can stunningly arrange any apartment so that it becomes a "kind" of the 30s - 80s of the last century.

Vintage style is an unusual trend, which implies the ability to combine and combine modern and ancient elements without disturbing the harmony of the surrounding space. If you want to decorate the interior in this way, you should be well versed in the fashion of the past decades. A thing is considered old, if it has more than twenty years of experience. To take it to the vintage style, it should not be made until the 60s (it will be retro) and after the 90s (you can safely call it new).

The interiors of furniture, as well as various accessories that relate to the vintage style, are works of art, they are original and original, but at the same time they express the general fashion trends of that time.

The most important thing in the process of decorating a room is not to overdo it. Vintage style will lose its appeal if the room is filled with old things. If you place a lot of detail, then the room should have more lightness, emptiness, but less color.

What is furniture that expresses vintage style? It always has a soul, a special past. Most often such furniture is sustained in light, calm tones. However, a dark tree can also be used. Such furniture artificially grow old, leaving on it scratches, attritions, traces from wood bugs, knots, roughnesses. If you make out the bedroom, then you can not do without a forged, delicate, massive bed, and a dining room in a vintage style will decorate a sideboard for dishes.

Attention should be paid to accessories. The image of the room will not be complete without them. A heavy chandelier, an elegant casket, porcelain figurines, a mirror in a massive, shabby frame - all this can give a special touch to any room that has a vintage style. However, do not necessarily be too zealous - it will be enough for one porcelain doll or iron iron. It is obligatory to use embroidery, textiles, dishes, toys, laces for decoration of such interior. A vintage gramophone will become a real decoration of your room.

You can also use old family photos as decor elements. Pay attention to the fabric: upholstery furniture, curtains, pillows, drapes. Textiles should be exclusively natural: cotton, linen, silk.

All the compositions in the room ideally create the impression of airiness, lightness. It should not be overloaded with details. Very beautiful look bouquets of seasonal flowers, dried flowers. They are put in metal, galvanized or crystal vases.

Vintage style can easily be emphasized by hanging in the room a mirror in a wooden frame with an original carved pattern. As for the dishes, it can be different trays, sugar bowls, saucers, plates, milkmen.

Where can I get all these wonderful antiques? Do not rush into the shops and spend unthinkable money on the implementation of your idea. Look first to the attic belonging to your grandmother. There you will certainly find some necessary items, for example, a chest of drawers, a spinning wheel, a samovar, a cast iron, small sculptures, rag dolls. You can also visit the flea market. And some fans of the vintage style do not disdain even the "excavation" in the dump. In any case, if you try, you can find things that you will get for free or at a modest price. And, after a minimal restoration, they will look no worse than those that cost fabulous money. The vintage interior is completely accessible.
