Overview

You've probably heard of vintage style before. It is a style of fashion and design in which older and used elements are combined with each other. This includes, for example, vintage-style clothing, furniture and accessories.

Second-hand markets and flea markets often offer real beauties at bargain prices. If you want to create a successful mix of old and new in your home, this article provides great approaches and ideas on how to combine modern and timeless lamps with vintage style. 

The vintage style

With a vintage-style design, you can breathe character and personality into any room. Delightful details are important here. Many elements tell a story and create an exciting atmosphere. The rooms look impressive and sometimes mystical and imposing.

Warm and cozy lighting that perfectly underlines and complements the furnishing style goes well with the vintage style. Of course, old lamps are eye-catching, but the old gems are no longer suitable for efficient and cost-saving lighting. That's why our online store offers modern and timeless lamps in different versions that will set the scene for your vintage look.

There is always something magical about an enchanting vintage design. It is particularly rich in detail and is typically characterized by floral patterns, elaborate decorations and design elements with an old-world feel. If you have chosen your furniture in a vintage style, you can illuminate it perfectly with the modern lamps from our range. The balance between elegance and kitsch gives your rooms a striking character. For example, a brass chandelier goes wonderfully with furniture in warm tones, while silver or chrome pendant lights go well with a cooler color palette.

How does modern lighting for the mid-century style work?

Timeless and versatile, trendy mid-century lighting is one of the styles that is easiest to combine with a modern lamp. With an emphasis on clean lines, organic shapes and innovative materials, mid-century lighting bridges the gap between vintage and modern aesthetics. Pendant lights with elegant metal surfaces or wall lights with organic and geometric shapes add a subtle vintage touch to your interior without being overly ornate or pompous. 

A tip: A modern pendant light above a dining table or kitchen island with its simple design fits into any room that is lavishly decorated. The unique interior and matching lighting exude warmth and charm. A minimalist wall light is just the right light source for a living room furnished in mid-century design. The warm glow emphasizes individual elements and does not overpower the design. Pastel colors and warm tones are characteristic of vintage. A modern lamp that is rich in color and elegant forms a suitable symbiosis and shines with an optimal incidence of light. 

Combine modern and classic lamps with vintage design rooms

A chandelier is a real eye-catcher in a spacious living room. It casts an impressive light, especially on high ceilings. Shelves, seating areas and retro-style tables are impressively highlighted and the whole room is given structure. You can adjust the light so that the furnishings are presented as if they were on a stage. A modern chandelier in the corner looks like natural lighting and is skillfully kept in the background so that the furnishings are placed in the foreground.

In a feudal dining room with luxurious and antique furniture, modern pendant lights are an ideal source of light. They are discreet and can be mounted at the ideal height. Create a balanced look for any occasion. A romantic dinner, a family meal or a sumptuous celebration will be given the right atmosphere.

Turn your bedroom into a real vintage dream! Discreet bedside lamps illuminate your Bedroom and bathe it in a warm and relaxing light.

Complement this ensemble with the right lighting. Special furnishings such as a fairytale dressing table or a majestic mirror are skillfully accentuated with spot lighting. 

In the entrance area, you can use an opulent and elegant Pendant Lamp to give an initial overall impression of your furnishing style. A chest of drawers or a wardrobe in the style of the 50s becomes an eye-catcher, as the light emphasizes the wonderful design.

The balance between old and new creates a timeless and chic ambience that will definitely be remembered.

The vintage style for different occasions

At the beginning of the 2000s, the vintage style made a groundbreaking comeback. Suddenly, wedding dresses with the characteristics of this fashion trend became a real bestseller. In keeping with this, weddings and other celebrations were also decked out in a vintage look.

Pastel-colored decorations with applications of nature and light fabrics adorned the tables and a romantic atmosphere was created at many parties and occasions. Vintage was suddenly all the rage and the interior design of many apartments and houses was transformed into a harmonious interplay of floral patterns and cozy furnishings.

Conclusion

Antique treasures and vintage style elements make your home unique. Some enthusiasts are constantly reinventing themselves and regularly design new creations. You can create real trends with genuine gems. Lamps, shelves, works of art and rugs create a warm ambience. Smaller accessories such as cushions, bed linen, picture frames, vases, blankets and baskets in a timeless style are crucial for the detailed vintage look.

The best thing about it is that you can change the elements again and again and recombine them depending on the season. Whether spring, summer, fall or winter - vintage offers all facets. At the same time, vintage is anything older than 20 years. That's why this look moves with the times and is super versatile. However, too many items from different eras can quickly confuse and overload the design.

You should therefore consider in advance which time period you prefer and which colors set the tone. Otherwise, you can get very creative and create different eye-catchers with subtle details. Cosiness and tranquillity are paramount. Warm tones and warm lights create just the right vintage flair. We provide the right lighting!
