Is it possible to fit old furniture into a new interior: a designer’s opinion

16.08.2024 10:49

The presence of old furniture in a new interior does not indicate sloppiness, but a special sense of style.

Naturally, there can be no talk of sofas with torn upholstery or nightstands on crooked legs. Old furniture is not yet antique, but it is not junk either. And it is also important to be able to fit it into the interior.

Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how to act correctly in such a situation.

Objects and purpose

It is not necessary to look for a Soviet sideboard or a 19th century secretary. A few old suitcases stacked on top of each other can decorate a bedroom.

For rooms in Scandinavian or country style, such a table or bedside table would be appropriate.

Eras and styles

A space for creativity for people with taste and a sense of style. This way you can bring something vintage into a room decorated in contemporary style.

Age and quality

An old or vintage item is not junk from a flea market, but a quality item that has value.

Fit into the interior

A new item can serve as an accent, but in any case it should be related to the interior in color or purpose.

These can be baskets and boxes, trays or boxes that will replace plastic containers.
