Are you one of those millennials in this era who still has a soft spot for old vintage things, do you love to live among the old vibe that is brought on by being surrounded by vintage items? I got to admit, that old and cosy feeling that can be created with old vintage timeless pieces is not something we can achieve with any amount of modern interior designing. The modern system of interior and exterior designing creates open space, more light and the concept of minimizing what we own is what is highlighted. In a way, we are sort of becoming colder in our own environments rather than making them cosy warm, this is not to say that it’s a bad thing simply that it’s a different thing.
We are changing and so is everything around us; the materials we use to create the atmosphere around us, our culture, our traditions and even our communication methods and so on. However, among this fast changing human race there are still a few of us who loves to hold onto the old looks and feels, especially for a home, because let’s face it, you home is the one place that you will return to in search of comfort and if you design your home in a way that you are most comfortable and happy with, then everything else will simply flow smoothly. So here are some ideas for preserving the oldies vibe in your home:
Search for Vintage Shops When Buying Your Furniture and Other Home Accessories
It is important that you actually shop in shops that sell vintage items for your home and not just modern shops that presume to sell ‘vintage’ items. The reason for this is that these authentic vintage items give out the vibe that you are trying to establish in your home, as opposed to fake-vintage which is just that, fake. It is also a very good idea to find things in one of the best in the business when speaking in terms of finding decorative items for your home rather than generic shops.
Some of these items could be fences in front of your home at the entrance to really give your visitors that oldies vibe or lovely awnings to decorate your windows, or better yet you could have a white patio with chairs put just for sitting and relaxing. You would come to know if you observe a bit of the modern aged houses, that none have patios, you would be lucky if you could find a home with a patio in rural areas. The fact is that the number of homes are increasingly decreasing and everyone prefers to live in apartments, isolated from nature and the rest of the world.
Keep It Simple, Don’t Over Do It
Another very important thing to keep in mind when decorating your home in a vintage theme is to keep it simple. It is very easy to get carried away and horde your home with too many items that would end up defeating the simplistic vintage look that you are striving to achieve.
