Customised, intricately designed art always brings a personal touch to any space. Ceramics are an age-old way to bring in such a touch, while also being a significant interior design hack to keep up with the latest trend: vintage home interiors in 2021. So come join us getting into ceramic culture, for here are some of the many ways you can incorporate ceramics in your home to create a vintage look!
Adaptable
Ceramics are an extremely versatile material that one can use to accentuate a home in many different ways. The most common way to use ceramics is in the form of vases or as centerpieces, and sometimes on kitchen counters too. Ceramics being used as flooring is rarely seen today, but is a great way to create a unique groundwork for your home. Go out and explore the various patterns that can be painted onto ceramic tiles, and you’ll be surprised to know to what extent you can customise your own!
Earthy
Although ceramics are most popularly displayed after being baked and coated to give a glossy finished look, the dull, original colour of the material brings a grounded feel with it, bringing out a vintage, self-created feel in the room. Even simple, well-merging colours such as grey, ochre, khaki or earthen brown can hold this tone that simple ceramics have, without compromising on adding a finishing touch to it.
Eye-catching
If you’re in the process of creating a vintage look in your abode, you’ve most likely seen a majority of items in shades of brown, beige, and a few shades of maroon at most. Adding ceramics to your space introduces the perfect break to these hues, whilst staying in line with your refurbishing theme. They can be painted in colours to match items you may have already picked, or can be in vibrant colours around which a few pieces of furniture may be shaded. Using ceramics on a vertical wall is another creative way to incorporate the multifaceted element, and often turns out to make beautiful, timeless panels.
Classy
So many of the antique interior decoration pieces we see are simple in design, with slight detailing on the edges and curves. These small, intricate details bring elegance to the expanse, simultaneously adding a royal feel. Ceramics can be moulded into minimalistic shapes laden with simple or no patterns to merge into a vintage-themed zone, and yet fit in perfectly. When it comes to little fillers in an antique-looking space, remember that less is more!
Indigenous
Each and every ceramic piece of art is like the fingerprint of a human: completely unique. The most precious items in your household will most likely be those that cannot be found at another person’s home, and ceramics are just the perfect fit for that level of individuality. Each moulded and dried vase cracks differently while baking, each stroke of an artist has a bristle that goes in a different direction from the previous one, and each shaped piece is almost perfect, in its own way. While antique shopping you might notice that there are many artefacts that look similar to each other, but upon closer inspection they are all different. The same applies for ceramics, making them a perfect fit to make your home look vintage!
A Celebration
Ceramics are made all over the world, but the most skilled artisans are found to be ones who have been practicing the art for many years now. To incorporate this versatile, unique material to your home is truly a merry celebration of the blend of creativity and artisanship coming together. So here’s your golden opportunity to support traditional craftsmanship whilst building a beautiful, vintage look!
The durability and adaptable nature of ceramics is sure to steal your heart, so wait no longer and create your own, personalised look with this one of a kind material!
