1 Prepare interior
Vintage things have their imperfections. They have a non-ideal surface, cracked paint or lacquer coating, burnt pattern on the fabric. In order for it to play in the interior, you need a contrast. Against the background of old repairs, an ill-conceived color scheme and wearing furniture and textiles, vintage things will look as if they could not throw them away.
Therefore, make sure that your interior itself does not require repair and update, and already enter vintage accessories into it.
2 Choose accessories, not furniture
Many people want to furnish the apartment with vintage furniture. Its needs to be found, make sure of good condition, clean, renovate. Often you have to turn to professional restorers so that they update the protective coating on the tree, without spoiling it, disbanded the sofa or chair. If you do not hold such training, but simply put in the living room shabby and the faded, albeit high-quality, old sofa, the apartment will look abandoned and repulsive. The result is spent a lot of time, money and strength.
But with accessories everything is noticeably easier. They are easier to find them, they cost cheaper, require less effort to bring in order. Most often they need to simply clean, and some imperfections left by time can be left - it will be atmospheric.
3 Do not chase at high price tag
There may be a feeling that you need to go to expensive boutiques behind the vintage and buy some rare items with authentication certificates. But recently, things have been firmly included, which as if they got from the attic, or they remained from your grandmother.
Be sure to go through the flea markets and the flea markets of your city, see the announcements on the Internet. In such places you can find very stylish items of the middle of the last century: vinyl plates, posters, players, cameras, dishes, photos.
4 Use things to destination
The house will not turn into a museum or landfill if you select vintage things that can be used. Put flowers in the found old vase, and decorate it a beautifully served dining table, start the vinyl records on the player. Items that have gained the second life never look in the interior bad.
5 Refuse Collectibles
If you are not a collector, but just decorate the interior, it is important to consider in advance which items you would like to see in your home, and make up targeted searches.
Very risky to come to the flea market and start buying everything that I liked. It is better to choose two or three bright and noticeable things that will take a prominent place and degenerate the space than ten that will suggest on one shelf.
Another important point: consistency in the interior. Often, what great looked in the atmosphere of the flea market will not play in the apartment. Therefore, always imagine the room in which you plan to put the subject, and select them under the interior.
