Vintage style as the basis of the interior

The only problem with the vintage style is that it takes a lot of effort to bring it to life in an interior. Of course, if you don't want to push yourself too hard, then you should turn to professional designers, but even so, you still have to try. You need to go and look for special, atmospheric things, and you definitely won’t find them in ordinary stores.

But you will definitely save on furniture and decor. After all, the emphasis in vintage style is not on status and high cost, but on special impressions, coziness, comfort and originality. It is in the interior of the vintage style that you can find the use of an old grandmother's cabinet, an iron bed with a figured back, and grandfather's gramophone, which stands in the attic. In turn, some of the "benefits of civilization" will have to be abandoned - stone, linoleum, suspended ceilings, panels, LED lighting, etc. are trite inappropriate in this style, so they will have to be abandoned. But on the other hand, the vintage style can be called universal, as it looks appropriate both in the living room and in the kitchen.

Tiles (in the bathroom), parquet or wood are excellent as flooring. It is preferable that they be light shades and have the effect of antiquity - they were slightly worn, as if they were actively used. Buying something like this now is not a problem, since artificial aging is now actively used. It is recommended to stick paper wallpapers on the walls. The most authentic will look light with a soft pattern, but if you want something more expressive - do not stop yourself. The main thing is to stick to slightly faded colors and vintage designs, like small flowers. It is also acceptable to use plain paint in discreet, light colors.

As for furniture, there are a number of generalized recommendations. It is important that she be aged. Wood is considered one of the most vintage material options, so look for wooden chests of drawers, shelves, chairs, especially if they have a slightly rough finish. It is appropriate to use painted wood. Don't forget the iron beds in the bedroom - even very old beds, with proper cleaning and painting, will serve you faithfully.

Accessories are a very conditional item. Gramophones, old caskets, paws, vases are often used for decoration. On the walls, you can often see old framed posters, compact writing boards, or oil paintings. It is important to understand that the vintage style is only slightly in contact with the "Soviet" style that many of us saw in childhood and adolescence. This style is more focused on Western trends and Western style of the 19th and 20th centuries. So a room completely created in this style will have significant differences from what we remember from childhood.
