The vintage style <\/strong>is timeless and is renewed over time as additional decades are added to its portfolio; nevertheless, its blueprint remains unchanged: it\u2019s still a nostalgic choice <\/strong>in which every detail is unique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first tip<\/strong> to add a retro touch to your home is to refrain from overdoing it! <\/strong>Unless you want to live in a time capsule, all you need are a few details<\/strong> to give your house a unique feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not easy to create the right harmony between furniture, accessories and architectural elements but you can start by following a few guidelines:  your personal aesthetic taste and experience will do the rest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identify the historical period you want to reproduce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Would you like a house that looks as if it\u2019s just been used to film Baz Luhrmann\u2019s The great Gatsby<\/em>? Or do you prefer the minimalist Bauhaus style? How about the pop colours and contrasts of the 80s?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To avoid creating an untidy medley of objects, cluttering rooms and \u2013 ultimately \u2013 achieving a kitsch result, it\u2019s really important to define your primary goal from the very start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choose a suitable colour combination<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Above all, the period you choose will affect the colour scheme. Think of the warm tones of the 70s, ranging from shades of brown, acid green and orange. Or to the 50s palette in which neutral tones are paired with yellow accents and warm wood shades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Define your basic colour scheme and then add a palette to use for accessories and decorative objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add some plants to your rooms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Plants have always played an essential role in interior d\u00e9cor and \u2013 as far as possible \u2013 they should be chosen in the style of the home. For instance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vases of flowers for a 40s-style home, exotic plants with shiny leaves for the 50s and climbing plants in macram\u00e9 pot hangers for the 70s. Remember that the type of vase or pot is important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add theme-based furnishings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As already mentioned at the beginning of this article, if you choose to give your home a vintage touch the details will make all the difference.  So which should you choose? Here are a few suggestions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
