The fascination in combining vintage and modern lies in the exciting contrasts. Boldly juxtaposed pieces that vary in shape, color and material create visual dynamism and energy. An antique sofa next to a minimalist coffee table? Why not! The magic arises in the collision of aesthetics.

The color palette is the connecting element between the worlds of yesterday and today. Before designing your interior, choose a limited number of colors and experiment with different shades and nuances. This gives the room a cohesive yet layered vibe where vintage and modern blend effortlessly.
Decorative togetherness: telling stories

Decorations and accessories are the narrative details of your living space. The trick is to choose elements that have both vintage and modern characteristics. Whether it's an antique vase on a modern sideboard or contemporary art above a classic Biedermeier chest of drawers - the fusion of stories makes the room unique.
