“This, and nothing else but this, is home in its deepest sense: a projection of your own self; and furniture is nothing but an indirect form of the cult of self.”
(Mario Praz, The Philosophy of Furnishing, 1945)
A house reflects your personality, it’s your shelter, the place you live with your family, welcome your friends and guests, or simply relax after a long day of work. Furniture helps you customize your interiors, adapting your home to your personal and functional needs without overlooking aesthetics.
Minimal, industrial chic, eclectic… this is just a short list of contemporary home decor styles, but the trendiest style now is fusion and contamination decor.
In the last few years interior decorators started mixing contemporary furniture with classic, ancient or ethnic accessories; Vintage rugs perfectly express this concept.
Patchwork or one-piece, in neutral or vivid colors, Vintage rugs infuse your interiors with suggestive atmospheres, and effortlessly match every decorating style.
Here are a few examples of contemporary home decor styles:
MINIMAL
If you like strong contrasts, the light neutral colors and linear shapes of your minimal decor can be enhanced by a colorful patchwork rug, or maybe you can choose a one-piece Vintage rug in neutral colors, if you want to create a relaxing atmosphere.
INDUSTRIAL
Open plan lofts obtained from industrial buildings are very popular right now. Their huge surfaces are often decorated with the intention of keeping the original technological flavor. Among rough wood surfaces, stone walls and metallic finishes Vintage rugs add a stylish touch of ancient history to a very contemporary space.
ECLECTIC
A Vintage rug perfectly suits an eclectic decor style. We are talking about pure fusion style, where old and new pieces of furniture, designer pieces and antiques, coexist in perfect harmony. If you choose this style the real challenge is to avoid mismatches and end up with a messy and kitsch decor. We suggest to consult an interior decorator that will help you match colors, materials and furnishings for an eclectic but well-balanced home.
NEOCLASSICAL NEW CLASSIC
Tradition and innovation can easily coexist: all you have to do is combine a few carefully selected furnishing elements. A Vintage rug, in this case, will be the perfect trait d’union between a modern sofa and a rococò armchair, or a crystal table surrounded by upholstered chairs. Parquet floors and stucco decorations on the walls can’t be missing.
All you have to do is choosing the right Vintage rugs, rely on your good taste and be creative!
