1. Wall art from old wood
Wood serves a person almost all his conscious life, and maybe even longer. Surely you or your friends have wooden buildings that they already want to demolish. But do not rush to do this. They can still be used for the vintage design of your home. How to process such wood to use for decoration can be found on the Internet. Curtain walls made of wood will make your room with vintage charm and rustic style, which is coming back into fashion.
2. Painted screens
New is well forgotten old. We are talking about wall coverings that can give your home an unconventional style. Screens and tapestries in Japanese or Turkish styles will fit perfectly into a room where you plan to bring in a vintage spirit.
3. Nelson's lamp
The George Nelson lamp has become very popular these days. Every tastefully decorated room cannot do without lighting, but it is also important to maintain the overall style even in this matter. For a vintage style, you will not find a better option than the Nelson lamp. Designed in 1945 and today it will help to logically complete your design.
4. Bed-bench
Vintage design sometimes requires new furniture and interior details that may not be at hand. Antique shops or markets where people sell old things will cope well with this task. Antique items can be remade into full-fledged furniture, but with completely new functionality. For example, from an old iron baby crib you can make a new, very stylish bench if you remove the front wall.
5. War chest
More and more often, people's tastes converge on what is different from standard foundations and imposed stereotypes. Everyone has a soft large sofa for 4 people, a glass coffee table and walnut colors, but it's so boring.
Add creativity to your life. For example, remake a military chest into a coffee table and surprise your friends with interesting stories over a cup of tea. And most importantly, every day, looking at this creation, you will be proud of your imagination and an original piece of furniture.
6. An old dresser converted into a bathroom table
As mentioned earlier, it is not necessary to use a piece of furniture for its original purpose. Everyone has the opportunity to change their furnishings to better suit their home aesthetics and lifestyle. Dressers do not have to be used for storing clothes in the bedroom.
As Better Homes & Gardens points out, "Their flat tops and handy storage drawers mean that large dressers can be used in some pretty unexpected places. For example, in the bathroom. You can repurpose a dresser by incorporating a sink into it. Now let everyone ask themselves how many dressers they've seen in their friends' bathrooms. That's originality, no need to be afraid to be the first.
7. Paisley Wallpaper
And another option for bringing back the well-forgotten old into a new design for your apartment. The so-called Paisley patterns or "cucumber prints" are back in fashion and will appropriately decorate your walls or other surfaces, plunging your home into a vintage atmosphere. To do this, just buy wallpaper, interior stickers or paint it by hand.
8. White furniture
Who said that white is boring? Decorate such a room with jazz-style lamps and furniture, this will give your room uniqueness and it will sparkle with new colors of freedom, coziness and comfort.
9. Antique Bird Cage
No one likes living in a golden cage, but turning an ordinary cage into an interior item is not a bad idea at all. Using ampelous varieties of flowers that will fit in the cage with a pot, it will become an integral part of your summer area, veranda or balcony. In this way, you will have a personal hanging garden in a vintage style.
10. White enamelware
Since childhood, each of us remembered that the dishes from mom's sideboard are not to be touched, and they are there either for holidays or for a rainy day. And now you can turn traditions upside down. Even ordinary white dishes will provide simplicity, but at the same time, originality of design. A touch of French everyday life will appear in your kitchen with such a design. And stop putting everything off for later. You need to enjoy life here and now. "Tomorrow" is such a capricious day.
Don't be afraid to experiment, don't worry if your ideas seem strange to someone. You are doing this, first of all, for yourself and for your comfort, coziness and joy. And this is more important than someone's conservative and not always correct beliefs.
