there 10 ideas for vintage furniture that wink even at the spring light taken from the "Mercanteinfiera".

A whimsical complement

A pinch of is granted in any environment and with any style whimsy, if well calibrated. Focus on a single piece of furniture, for example the seats. You can choose them all the same with a particular shape, for example in the sinuous lines typical of Italian design from the Seventies, or even one different from the other, to give a kaleidoscopic brushstroke to the interior without exaggerating.

Comfort combined with aesthetics: there chaise-longue

For the afternoon nap or even just to read a book immersed in total comfort, the chaise-longue It is ideal. It makes furniture and at the same time relaxes, which is why this complement is perfect as the protagonist of the living room. In leather, ergonomic, in an elegant nuance such as white-off or even in bright white, it will be your companion for reading and post-meal rest.

Mon amour velvet

In spring the velvet it does not hibernate, on the contrary: choose it in a pastel color or in bright cobalt blue, to recall the colors of the sea that in a few months we will begin to see from the beach. To give a breath of greater sea breeze and already make a lot of summer, also focus on the shape of armchairs and cushions, looking for something that recalls the shells. The mental association with the sea and the July sun will be immediate.

Vases full of personality

Make the absolute protagonist of the green corner jar, even before the plant. The best thing would be to harmonize both, vase and flower, to return a piece of design that integrates both the green and the artistic object itself at the top. From colorful vases to those with geometric Greek up to planters in the shape of animals, everything is allowed in the field of green touch! If the choice will fall on a vase with a bizarre shape such as a monkey, try not to tread your hand on a chromatic level, opting for a neutral color with soft tones or white, the only sure antidote to bad taste.

Festive chandeliers

For a play of light that is really a game, that is, cheerful and fun, the multicolored chandelier is the best solution. Whether it is in blown Murano glass or in semi-transparent plastic in fluorescent colors, it does not matter: it is essential to find the chandelier that best suits the environment and, consequently, the personality of those who live there. If you are afraid that the harlequin effect may tire you in the long run, opt for the total color but that it is very turned on.

Retro table lamps

If the designer chandelier seems too demanding from all points of view (portfolios in the first place), treat yourself to a table lamp with a design that does not go unnoticed. The 1960s made in Italy designs are particularly suitable for interiors that play a lot on sinuous shapes and glamorous roundness. A rounded lamp in glossy plastic such as the 1968 Cobra by Martinelli, for example, will be a tasteful gem capable of tickling multiple senses: touch with its softness and smoothness; the view thanks to the pop colors and the reflections of the external light on the glossy texture; taste, in the sense not of taste buds but of aesthetics wow!

Chamois

For Spring 2019 the chamois is one of the fashion obsessions. What if we rehabilitate it also in the furnishings? A seat upholstered with suede fabric it will be perfect, even more so if found in trendy shades such as mint green or camel beige. Placing such an armchair in a corner of the living room means crowning it as a stylish throne.

Leading materials

Make the materials absolute protagonists of seasonal furnishings. Ceramic, porcelain, wood, iron, porcelain stoneware, bamboo … Any natural material artfully modeled by the hands of the designers will be welcome in the home. And if you are lucky enough to be able to get your hands on a big thing like the porcelain Yantra vase signed by Ettore Sottsass, then we are very sorry for the suede armchair mentioned above but it must be moved because the scepter of design belongs to him.

Visible hair

The hair rich, thick, both smooth and curled, it always gives a tactile experience that reaches the heart, with an effect cocoon comfortable. Just like when hugging a soft plush, so does a pouf characterized by a cascade of fur, it will make you relive tender childhood memories, like a Proustian madeleine that takes us back to the green age of early youth. To mitigate the excessively childish effect that a fur-covered stool could have, choose a refined and austere color, such as bright white, icy gray or petrol black.

Kitchen accessories scattered around the house

An original way to decorate the living room, bedroom or bathroom is to transfer objects that can be traced back to different rooms in the house, for example kitchen accessories. Without necessarily having to install the microwave next to the bidet, just focus on the objects: a slightly délabré coffee grinder, an enameled metal colander or a vintage funnel will be perfect for giving an unusual touch to rooms other than the kitchen. You can also focus on collectible furnishings, such as Aldo Tura's cruets, to be displayed on display to make the mouth water of connoisseurs.
