Interior in the vintage style is an artificial definition. Vintage things are those that are more than 30 years old, so that the interior of the 80's can also be considered vintage. In reality, however, the interior becomes vintage when things appear in it that relate to the first half of the 20th century.
Style vintage in the interior design can be supported in two ways. The first option: a vintage accent is attached to furniture and vintage accessories for the interior. In the second case, the foundation of this style is laid the design of the entire design of the room, that is, the ceiling, floor and walls.
Ceiling decoration
Style vintage does not imply any modernity. Most often, the ceiling is simply painted. In addition, it can be decorated with stucco. No excesses in the form of stretch ceilings and gyro should not be here. The color is necessarily white or cream. The presence of cracks on the ceiling and slightly cracked paint only complements the interior in the style of vintage, does not contradict it.
Flooring
To the style of vintage ideally suited artificially aged or simply old parquet. The presence of traces of active exploitation on it is only welcomed. Another option for floor design is the use of artificially aged ceramic tiles or in fact old ones. This is especially good for a kitchen, decorated in a vintage style.
Wall decoration
Before you start the design of the walls, you should answer the question: what exactly will a vintage style design - furniture or all the same walls. In the first variant it is recommended to simply paint the walls, choosing for this light pastel colors. In another case, when the interior will not be patinated furniture, the walls must be covered with wallpaper. Suitable are wallpapers with a gentle medium-sized floral pattern, with butterflies, as well as pastoral scenes. In addition, designers recommend using vintage-style wallpaper with Japanese or Chinese motifs, thoughtful, calm. With the help of walls you can bring the right shade, for example, with wallpaper with a large and even contrasting ornament. In any case, glue the wallpaper follows the entire area of the walls.

This style combines furniture of different times: antiques, old grandmother's chests of drawers, cabinets, as well as a new, slightly patinated table - it's all suitable. The greatest coloring are chests of drawers with a large number of drawers, sideboards for festive dishes, bureaus.
A bedroom in this style means a forged openwork or a massive wooden bed. Upholstered furniture and chairs should have wooden inserts that fit well with textiles. The ancient interior items have their own history, so if the thing does not harmonize with the interior, work on it or move it to another room. Create light scrapes, replace the furniture handles, use the decoupage technique - and you will achieve the desired effect.
Decor
The decor of the vintage style is associated with an abundance of textiles, decorative pillows, knitted napkins and tablecloths, furniture covers. Cups, teapots, plates of the last century perfectly fit this style. Shabby books, old dolls, old frames with black and white photos, porcelain figurines, mirrors in massive carved frames will create the right mood.
Textiles must be present in the room - baldkhin above the bed, curtains with flowers on podhvatah. But remember that everything should be in moderation, you can not overload the room with an abundance of decor, so as not to accidentally create a sensation of a mess.
Lighting
In the vintage style, fabric shades, chandeliers with crystal pendants or imitating candelabras fit perfectly. Of course, it is necessary to have table lamps, candlesticks, floor lamps. Lighting should not be very bright, warm, multilevel. Candlesticks made of metal are recommended to patinate, to give the copper darkness, and bronze a little greens.
