Modern and vintage in your interior

The modern and vintage interior styles are an absolute match made in heaven. This surprising combination is not only beautiful but also adds character to your interior. In a modern interior, personal elements like vintage and retro items create warmth and ambiance. Conversely, modern items make a vintage interior more organized and streamlined. We've listed some inspiration below to get you started right away.

Vintage accessories

When you think of a modern home, vintage home accessories probably aren't the first thing that comes to mind. Yet, these items are precisely what make your house a personal, inviting home. Combine that sleek matte black kitchen with a vintage lamp, or slide a retro lounge chair or rug into your corner with modern accessories. This way, you can easily create a completely different atmosphere and look.

Colors and prints

A classic vintage room has a warm and soft color scheme. But in a modern, vintage interior, this is certainly not necessary. You can combine the warm, soft colors with neutral shades like black, beige, gray, and white. To complement this, you can further reflect the vintage style in additional elements in your interior. The most popular motifs in a vintage style are flowers and stripes. So, go for a small cabinet in a warm color or a few extra accessories with a floral print.

Retro chairs at the dining table

Just bought that brand new dining table, and now the next difficult choice: dining room chairs. Want to create a unique atmosphere, or save some money? Then it might be smart to look for secondhand (vintage) chairs. A downside: vintage chairs aren't always easy to find, and the chance of finding six or eight identical ones is slim. Embrace the fact that your chairs will be different and combine different styles and designs—that's even more trendy! If you want to keep it simple, make sure they all have something in common. For example, different types of chairs, but all white. Or each chair in the same fabric, but a different color.
