From the most glamorous interior magazines to the simple personal blog of a designer, we see houses filled with vintage furniture. This phenomenon has undoubted psychological reasons. The patina of time, in furnishings as in fashion, adds value to things. In fact, it is that nostalgia effect of a "grandmother's house" that leads to rediscovering iconic objects and furniture of the past.
The best vintage piece is the one that does not live alone but stands out in contrast with the contemporary. When imperfection is not something to be avoided but something to be enhanced to give a touch of charm and originality that distinguishes us, it becomes a trend. Therefore, the main rule to follow if you want to furnish a house with vintage pieces is to prepare for the right mix between past and present. The mix, in fact, guarantees contrast when well done and enhances the whole of the individual elements.
