Vintage refers to style from the 1940s and 50s, and comes with a nostalgic, comfortable
ambiance. Eclectic flea market finds can be displayed on open shelving, in decorative bowls
or on bookshelves to add visual interest and character to the home. Other accessories that
bring a vintage style home to life include old gilded mirrors, heavy cornice moldings, brass
and frosted glass lamps, stenciled walls and decorative tile borders. Bathrooms typically
feature a cast iron or porcelain clawfoot tub for an old world feel. In the kitchen, various
cookware and accessories like vintage toasters, coffee makers and mixers are left out on the
countertops for added antique flair. In the living room, couches and chairs are upholstered
with detailed pastoral or floral patterns. Delicate lace curtains in white or soft neutral tones
provide a soft accent that reinforces the antique vibe
10. Vintage Features
• Low-key colors: primary colors – beige, gray, sand, cream. Some shades of light pink, pale blue, pale lilac
will be appropriate. Vintage interior welcomes the creation of a single color gamma – bright, noble, calm.
• Vintage interior design is old fashioned and elegant. It involves the use of old or artificially aged furniture
and decor.
• Vintage welcomes natural materials: wood, more rarely stone and forged elements, natural fabrics. The
interior should look as if it was designed several decades ago. It should reflect the fashion trends of the
past decades. The most common, which became a classic, option is things older than 30 and younger
than 60 years.
• This style is called romantic: soft, flowing lines, elegant colors, lovingly selected furniture and decor, as if
inherited from grandparents – not junk, but the legacy.
• Room design in Vintage style looks simple (it does not have the classic chic styles, exotic oriental beauty
catchy or modern) and gracefully at the same time. Abrasion, cracks, chips give atmosphere and
comfortable lived-in look, creating an atmosphere of peace, relaxation and nostalgia.
• This style combines old and modern things. There are only “character” (with a special history, original,
recognizable and unusual) things used for the creation of such interior.
