Vintage rugs

The word vintage itself is the definition used in the wine industry. Vintage rugs are like a well aged wine that only gets better and more valuable with time. The term, having retained its original meaning, has come to be applied to the world of fashion and interior design. Vintage is a relaxed, livable style that evokes a sense of security and generational continuity. Usually, vintage items are considered to be things that were made more than thirty years ago. To buy such items, you need to be like a collector, reverently choosing a unique work of art. In this way, a special emotional connection with the object is established.

Vintage is a safe haven, a secluded world of familiar, native things, each of which has a special significance, a story or a memory. It is necessary to endow vintage items with this emotional component, to be able to present it in such a way that an element of furniture or a carpet acquire a sensual value that will complement the practical advantages of the product.

Symmetry is the main feature of almost all vintage style interiors. Symmetrically arranged pieces of furniture and decor make the interior more harmonious and balanced. In addition, the vintage interior in its basis gravitates towards measured classics. Symmetry can be emphasized by furniture, decorative elements, structured ornament of the rug. There is another rule – the more in the interior decor, the less you need additional colors. It is obligatory to have natural fabrics with original ornament, which will make the interior interesting and create a special mood. Vintage interior should have a dreamy-nostalgic atmosphere, a sense of antiquity. It must necessarily contain exclusive items made by hand labor, not an impersonal machine or items that will create the appropriate impression. In this case, a handmade carpet is an almost indispensable detail.

For a vintage interior, both antique rugs and artificially aged rugs can be offered. For this purpose, the pile is partially cut off almost completely so that the warp threads are visible. Also, the pile can be scorched with acid – such a method is also used, for example, in the creation of etchings.
