The “vintage” decor is defined as a style that uses any old object, of artistic design and high quality, to give a different touch to the decoration of any stay of the home. We use the term “vintage” to refer to an object with a certain age, but which is not yet considered as an antiquity.

We can say that an object is considered vintage when it has survived some 20 years since its creation and is in perfect conditions.

In vintage decor, not all objects used are from previous generations. As it is a decorative style that is so fashionable, there are a large number of objects that are created trying to capture the essence of another era.

Why should I decorate in a vintage style?

The vintage decoration is always and will be something optional, although it is a very strong trend in decoration. It should not be enforced or enforced. It is very important that you are comfortable with that style, and in a way, that you can feel identified with it.

Similarly, the vintage decor allows you to save a little, since you can use decorative items that you had saved a long time ago and reuse them without having to spend on new objects.
