Vintage style

Ancient iron, toys, porcelain dolls,scratches, paints, slightly muffled abrasions, 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 "family" from 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 a vintage style, it should not be made until the 60s (it will be retro) and after the 90s (you can safely call it new).

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

The most important thing in the process of decorating a room is notoverdo. Vintage style will lose its appeal if the room is filled with old things. If you place many details, then the room should have more lightness, emptiness, but less color.

What is furniture that expresses vintagestyle? 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, you can not do without a forged, openwork, massive bed, and a dining room in a vintage style will decorate the 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 flavor 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 be a real decoration of your room.

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

All the compositions in the room ideally createimpression 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 hangingin the room a mirror in a wooden frame with an original carved pattern. As for the dishes, it can be various trays, sugar bowls, saucers, plates, milkmen.

Where can I get all these wonderful objectsantiquities? 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.
