Fusing Modern & Vintage Looks
Determining the style of your home can be a difficult decision to make. With many sources of inspiration online and a plethora of furniture options, customers are often left confused about how to create harmony between modern and vintage looks. Pairing such elements is a timeless trend that keeps re-emerging, as it combines the best of both worlds, new and old.
If you do not have an inspiration or simply cannot decide on a look for your space, here are some tips that we come up with to help you handpick furniture with vintage accessories. As one of the top furniture manufacturers in India, we carry a wide range of sofas to suit various home styling needs.
1) Determine which style dominates
In attempt to avoid clashes, we recommend that you determine the dominant style you are trying to incorporate at the onset. For example, there should be a 60% to 40% ratio of vintage style to modern. Consumers might want to opt getting a few key-pieces of modern furniture and accentuate it 60% with vintage accessories to compliment. By deciding early about the style you are aiming for, you will be able to better coordinate the type of showpieces, frames, artwork and coverings that will match the sofas.
Also, it is important to consider the type of look and behaviours, as that makes choosing furniture a lot simpler. Our Freedom Collection resembles a carefree lifestyle, and is meant for compact spaces. For more luxurious looks, customers can consider options such as the Imperia Collection, as the sofas are more grand with gilded footing and fine velvet fabrics.
2) Fusing colour or pattern schemes
Another way to merge distinctive styles is by means of using dominant colour schemes. If the main furniture chosen has a certain unique colour, consumers might want to handpick certain unique accessories with the same shade, or possibly complementary colours. This is among of simplest ways to fuse styles together, as furniture and accessories are commonplace with different colour shades. Nonetheless, customers should be cautious of overdoing colour matches, as not all of the furniture needs to be paired or else it makes the room look staged or whimsical.
Consider our Madison Deluxe sofa as an example, it has a distinct maroonish purple hue, paired with gold framing. By placing along with other gold complimenting the overall look. Other key furnitures that consumers bring in can have the same distinct gold brassy colour to compliment the sofa furniture.
Alternately, patterns on sofas speak out and add character to spaces. Sydney Splendour is offered with striped patterns that stands apart from the rest of the interiors — but is uniform in terms of shades of colour and blends in.
3) Choosing prominent fabric materials
Similar to the second consideration above, customers may choose prominent fabric materials that merge the overall interior scheme.
If the modern furniture features velvet tufted seat fabrics, the ottoman or footstool can also feature similar velvet fabrics, or are tufted in a similar manner.
While a good majority of our sofa range features modern themes, there are plenty of vintage options to choose from. Urban Living is one of the best sofa manufacturers offering a range of seating options, from 3 seater sofas to ottomans and chaise lounges. We invite you to browse through our range as a starting point, and once you determine the look you strive for, seek out vintage pieces that will complete the story and bring your home to life!
