Vintage is a style filled with life and atmosphere of yesteryear. It is multifaceted and rarely exists in its pure form. Experts identify vintage with a touch of classics, modernity, variations on the theme of rustic style. Moreover, in a modern interior, it is quite simple to beat them.

According to the designers, combining vintage with modernity looks like an old loft - simple shapes, open metal structures, a combination of metal with wood, vintage interior items.

Ideally, furniture for a vintage interior should be made in the years 1880-1890. It is possible for later periods. But if this is not possible, you should resort to stylization or artificial aging.

When choosing interior items, one should be guided by the personality and appearance of each piece of furniture separately. And after that, try to collect everything into a single whole. Chests of drawers, dressing tables, wrought-iron beds and armchairs with high legs are typical vintage style items.
The main materials on which to stop the choice will be wrinkled leather, a combination of metal with wood, natural fabrics.

Decor for a vintage interior is an ode to oversaturation. There should really be a lot of it. Covered shelves and curtained walls are what you need. You can use black and white photographs, graphic illustrations, maps, mechanical clocks, mirrors in fancy frames.

Vintage figurines, dishes, toys, candlesticks will find their place on the shelves. Books play an important role here. Especially the worn covers.
