What is meant by vintage?

Vintage means “everything that belongs to the past, to a very specific time and far from ours. Which means that making your home retro is not so difficult. This is because everyone can choose freely which era to be inspired by, as long as there is a central temporal linearity.

Helping with colours

What are the colors that allow your home to have a retro style? If you want to emphasize the furniture, we recommend choosing light and bright shades. If you want to evoke a past but definitely more recent era, you will choose brighter shades for the walls along with a more modern line of furnishings.


In the first case you will opt for brass handles, wood at will and tendentially dark colors.
In the second case, bright, bold and even flashy colors (such as those that triumphed in the ’70s).

Must-have objects to make your home retro

But we know, every era has its object of reference. That is, the most representative, which can best give a first impression to anyone who looks at your home.
So, in this case, always after choosing the time to inspire you, we advise you to look for old objects, ancient, virtually unobtainable!


An old record player, a jukebox, a cuckoo phone or an armchair with soft and rounded shapes. And again, a lighting system with warm lights, combined with tables with a simple design but extremely colorful. You just have to choose the period ”vintage” most appropriate to your home.

Vintage yes, but without sacrifices!

Although that for vintage , can be a truly indeterminate love, we must remember that our time is marked by many needs. Today, in fact, we can not do without many comforts that, objectively, make our lives easier.
It is therefore appropriate not to give up technology completely. Indeed! It is possible to combine both eras, without running into a ‘jumble of colors!


We recommend selecting where to focus on vintage and where to focus on modernity.
Modern furniture and coloured walls or on the contrary? The important thing is to have clear ideas!

Our advice on how to make the most of your home, are over. And you, are you ready to transform your home?
