An interesting alternative to raw, minimalist interiors are arrangements kept in a vintage style. When decorating this type of room, it's important to choose the right lighting. What kind of lamps work best in vintage interiors?
Vintage Style - What Is It?
Vintage style draws heavily from the past. An essential element of arrangements in this style are second-hand furniture, found, for example, at antique fairs. This style offers a lot of freedom when it comes to color selection - they can be both subdued and vibrant. Details play a significant role here. They can take the form of vases with flowers, elegant porcelain, or crystal bowls. As for furniture, a good choice would be simple wooden armchairs, legged chests of drawers, ornate sideboards, or lacquered tables. Vintage accents work very well in interiors designed in Scandinavian, minimalist, or industrial styles.
Vintage Style Lamps
No room designed in a vintage style is complete without stylish lighting. What kind of lamps work best in such arrangements? A good choice would be models with glass shades. They can be made from transparent, smoked, or colored glass. The base of these types of lamps is made of chrome-plated or painted metal in colors such as gold or black. In which room can vintage lamps be used? They are a good solution for the living room, bedroom, or office. They can also be successfully placed in a hotel, restaurant, or boutique.
