Vintage

In interior decoration, vintage, is a good way to go.  Even though there is a lot of massive imitation, it is better to be authentic, and continue buying vintage.   On one hand it  is good to be respectful with the environment and, on the other,   you will give more personality to your surroundings.   Do not be afraid of mixing  modern pieces of mid-century with a 50s or 80s sofa or lamp.   Vintage is trendy, so seize the moment and: reuse, recover, rehabilitate…

Romantic

Another decorative trend is romanticism, a return to warm and cosy atmospheres that invite to tranquillity and rest, characterized by the union of old and modern elements. Implementing this style  is looking back to the past, but without remaining tied to the old fashioned thing. Instead of being categorical when adopting elements of the 19th century, it is better to rescue certain pieces and bring them to the present, so that they are complemented in harmony.

Although classic, this decorative trend can be applied to modern houses. The mix between old and contemporary, can include old velvet furniture, vaporous curtains in organiza and cushions with cotton and wool carpets.

Shabby Chic:

This style rescues the enchantment of the used thing and works very well in atmospheres that evoke the country. Furniture, complements and walls that accuse the passage of time create interiors with character.

Shabby chic stands out in objects  and old but up-to-date furniture, perhaps something worn away, but does not shine like old. Shabby means untidy, deteriorated, but in this case looks new, agiornado, and therefore the chic term. Shabby chic mainly leans in accessories and furniture. Slid lamps and old spiders, with fringes and a romantic touch. Painted or slid, combined old furniture with modern present and movable fabrics, upholsteries, cushions and curtains with flowers, for example.
