When it comes to furnishing their homes or renovating their homes, many people choose vintage objects that are not only beautiful to look at, but also historically valuable. Before delving into the purchase of furniture, however, it is important to carry out a design of the virtual house , in order to divide the spaces correctly without nasty surprises. By doing so, it will be easier to take measurements for the furniture without creating awkward spots to cross or excessively bare.
Why choose vintage
There are many types of vintage furniture, belonging to the most disparate eras and coming from every place in the world. Unlike modern furniture, created in series, each vintage piece is unique and particular, with its own signs of time and personal history. For this reason, every piece of furniture or piece of furniture tends to cost a lot, but there is a possibility that it will increase in value over time.
There are various types of furniture that gladly accommodate vintage elements, able to satisfy both modern and classic tastes. In many cases, to obtain a truly perfect composition, it is advisable to contact a professional.
British style: from England with a modern twist
The English style makes extensive use of wood, both in the floors and in the furniture, with darker shades in the classic version and lighter in the modern one; floral, striped or polka dot patterns are also frequently used.
The British style remains sober and classic, allowing a wide use of vintage furniture belonging to the same style, able to create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. An almost inevitable piece of the British living room is the brown or white leather sofa, also perfect in its vintage versions.
Shabby chic: refined wear
The shabby chic style, like the British, was born in England, but quickly spread all over the world for its romantic and elegant appearance, halfway between vintage and country. The main feature of this style is the deliberately worn state of the furniture, where part of the coating paint is peeling.
Some furniture appears as if it had been recovered and used without restoration; In new pieces, this effect is artificially recreated, but in antiques it is possible to find these characteristics naturally.
Even if you don’t have the budget to furnish an entire house or room using vintage shabby chic style furniture, a few important antiques (such as a sideboard or chest of drawers) can give a warm and elegant atmosphere.
Industrial: modern and vintage joined together
The industrial style, so acclaimed by social networks and loved by the new generations, involves the use of recycled raw materials, such as wood and stone. As the name suggests, the goal is to recreate that spartan atmosphere typical of industries, with essential and imperfect lines. This style is considered particularly environmentally friendly, because often the furniture is not purchased, but packaged or recovered.
In an industrial style home, a vintage piece can contribute greatly to creating a lived-in effect but at the same time sober and elegant, thanks to the contrast with the minimalism typical of the style. Among the most popular pieces, there are the original industrial counters, belonging to various eras.
