Eclectic interior with retro elements of italian apartment
For everyone who likes to exhibit collectibles, souvenirs brought from different parts of the world, antique items bought in antique shops or inherited from grandmothers in their home, eclecticism in the interior is the best way to design a space. The main principle of the use of eclectic motifs in design is a strict adherence to the basic concept and a sense of proportion, which will not clutter up the space of your home. It was these principles that guided the designers, together with homeowners, making out the apartment, which is located in Palermo, in Italy.
From the first steps in Italian apartments, it becomes clear that a harmonious combination of modern style, country elements (Mediterranean style) and retro interior elements in one space can lead to the creation of a unique, inimitable design. Light wall decoration and the use of wood for flooring is a classic of the genre for the Mediterranean countries. But the wall decor from old telephones and armchairs, which used to serve as seats in a public building - this retro style has brought uniqueness to the interior of the hallway.
The main and most spacious room in the apartment is the living room, filled with no less than the original stylistic combinations, design ideas, color and texture. A large room with a windy finish is zoned into several functional segments, each of which deserves special attention.
Original bookshelves, the use of the old staircase as a functional decor, as well as an old chest with no less unique contents - everything in this area of the living room works to create a unique atmosphere and an unusual external image of the whole room.
Surprisingly, the combination in one room of modern technology, retro furnishings and designer decor items does not look harmoniously harmonious, but also creates a unique living room atmosphere. A variegated wall decor, an unusual floor lamp and a tripod magazine, the legs of which were stacks of books - everything in this room is original and original.
Obviously, for such colorful elements of the interior with its history, a completely neutral background is required - snow-white wall decoration and light wood flooring have become an ideal option for surface decoration. Some design ideas can be easily used within a modern home - old picture frames to place jewelry and accessories, a stepladder or ladder as a storage system for a shoe collection.
In the kitchen space, we again see a harmonious combination of modern furnishings with retro elements and country style - a linear system of a kitchen set with snow-white facades of cabinets, wooden chairs and an unusual chandelier made of similar material, old scales, kitchen accessories assembled from flea markets and antique shops and trendy dining table.
The old grandmother’s buffet can get a second life in your modern home, just put it in a decent setting and “support” the retro theme with a couple of accessories or decorative elements from the last century. Such items can be found in the legacy of almost any family, otherwise they can be purchased all at the same collapses of flea markets and points of sale of antiques, many network resources offer household items of past years.
Handcrafted items are also frequent participants in eclectic-style interiors. Lace napkins, wooden coasters, wall panels and even handmade rugs are appropriate in the premises of a collective image.
