The Vintage Style

2018. January 12.


The secrets of a real vintage home

Vintage style has conquered the world of interior design a few years ago and has remained one of the most popular trends to date. The essence of this style is that the old furniture and complementary little pieces of decoration must be blended boldly with new items. The dominance of white colour is apparent even at first glance, and the rethinking and presentation of accessories of pastel colours and old pieces further enhance what we may only express as "elegance". What makes this style really fantastic is the exquisite application of once-everyday objects, small things now often thought to be useless and old-fashioned, into the interior, resulting in a breathtaking effect.

In addition to the vintage style, a romantic atmosphere is also inevitable, to chive harmony it is essential that the pieces of furniture used are of the same or very similar colours. This effect is only deflected by the floral patterned, most often multi-coloured, textiles. This will make the home more balanced and relaxed, not at all tawdry and common, rather more sophisticated and unique. It is important to realise that white furniture is always set off by an intensely coloured wall.

Furnishing a vintage style home is a time-consuming and difficult task. But if one has patience, good eyes and a fair sense of style, they only have to find the right furniture and accessories, the Nepbolt Store can always help you with.
