The secret is to be passioned in the restoration project. Place the vintage, retro objects on those lifeless walls to give them a new life.
All vintage items are versatile, and you can renew and used them according to your needs.
Mix old and new materials and textures
Vintage and retro decoration items have a big advantage. You can easily integrate them into new designing and decorating trends by simply mixing the materials and textures of their structures.
For example, some old wooden furniture pieces can be combined with metal accessories.
Create a functional home interior full of elegance
The vintage decoration style has these three main qualities: originality, functionality and elegance; I think you agree with me that is a great advantage over other decoration and furniture elements.
It is not only about recalling a long-lost past time, but about using again the furniture and items, giving them a new life, because they necessary in your home interior and also functional while preserving their original design.
Don’t be afraid to combine colors
Colors play the most important role in decorating your home interior in a vintage, retro style. For example, you can combine a vintage pink sofa with white modern or also vintage elements for a bright atmosphere full of freshness.
You can also choose to apply different pastel shades to the walls and place vintage chairs with old lamps for great and mesmerizing lighting.
Textured wallpaper with vintage patterns on the walls in a wide range of colors is another unique and cute idea to give a retro touch to your decor.
Vintage living room furniture
Heavy textured and thick fabrics with classic and retro-style patterns are ideal for upholstering a vintage living room furniture. Just think about armchairs with leather upholstery that will turn your living room into an exquisite home interior.
Of course, the wooden decorative elements can never be missing in this kind of decoration. Aged wooden boxes arranged in dim lighted room corners are a valuable decorative accessory.
Cushions and curtains should be mixed and combined with all the furniture in floral designs or patterns from an old Golden age.
