Decorating your home in a way which responds to the principles of sustainable development has now become extremely trendy, and that includes upstyling. The fashion today involves mixing styles, and this goal can be achieved by adding a small touch of vintage. The furniture chosen can be repainted, renovated or used as it is, the most important thing is that it cost’s nothing.
Don’t confuse recycling and bargains. Antiques, flea markets and garage sales will allow you to purchase, not to find free items!
5 tips to give your home a vintage feel:
1 .
Old wooden crates
Assemble asymmetrically four or six wooden boxes (for example, wine boxes). Then simply repaint them to make yourself a bookshelf.
2 .
Spice jars
Fix them with strong glue under a shelf hanging on the wall, to create a sytem of organization to sort small objects that you never know where to put.
3 .
Old picture frames
Collect old picture frames, paint them in an appropriate colour or add a pattern to get a baroque wall décor!
4 .
A useless skateboard
You can take its wheels and screw them on to your desk. A trendy, vintage idea.
5 .
A simple shelf
You can add some individuality to your shelf by covering the inside part with paper of geometric or floral pattern that match the colors of your room.
