How To Blend Vintage & Modern Interior Furniture Styles
To be able to walk into a home and receive a refreshing, unique blend of architecture bringing you a breath of fresh air is definitely something everyone would want to experience. Every piece of furniture presenting its own design, style and personality is a unique concept that people are spotting in contemporary restaurants, and we’re bringing to you a guide on how to resemble the same concept in your personal space too, giving it a new dimension altogether.
Prioritise comfort
Yes, we want all the aesthetics. But what’s the point if it doesn’t feel like home? Make sure to pick what matters most, first. Choose comfortable, plush couches and a centre table that meets all your utility needs. Necessities always come first, and once that’s out the way, we’ll have lots of room for the accessories!
Art It Up
No abode is truly complete without art. However, art can sometimes be limiting. Contemporary art is the ideal choice, as it often encompasses more than one element, making it suitable for a plethora of design types. Art is the most go-to way to add character to any room, and modern art brings in a splash of colour as well as an abstract element, making it a popular demand for refurbishings.
Shading
Too many cooks spoil the broth, and too many colours spoil the mood. A variety of colours is pleasing to the eccentric eye, but beware! Using colour blocks is a good way of adding diversity to a space, and sprucing it up. Try your best to pick a colour palette, to bring in different shades while staying sane at the same time. Too many colours can seem overwhelming and stress you out if you walk into it after a long day, so make sure you avoid that!
Balance It Out
Some architectural pieces can be heavy, so make sure to strike a balance. Your home should exude a feeling that makes you want to come back to it, not be a cluttered habitat. If you’re placing a relatively heavy piece on one side of a couch, try to weigh it out by leaving the other side empty or decorating it with something small and dainty. Connecting the artefacts is key!
Center Of Attention
Statement pieces are back in a big way! Circle your focus on one distinctive, elaborate piece, and the redesign will be easier. This piece can inspire the rest of the look you’re looking to create, be it in the form of sofa edges being curved or sharp imitating the piece, the shade of the artefact itself, or even its shape.
Time To Envision
Creating your own moodboard is a great place to kickstart your project, as it will bring a lot of clarity to your mix of old and new furniture styles. If there’s a particular way you want to utilise the room or if you have direct inspiration in terms of a theme, it’s time to relax! The purpose of your room may determine how many pieces can be placed, how much free space is required, and what energy your room should give off. Themes assist in picking colours, specific furniture pieces, for example a vintage-themed inspiration might motivate you to add a wooden rocking chair adorning a throw or knitted blanket.
All the above tips and tricks are your starter guide to bringing in furniture designs from the past in the simplest way, while giving your space a wholesome makeover. Here’s to creating your own designs and trends, with your home reflecting a tinge of your personality!
