How can I put a modern twist on vintage furniture?
I am moving into my new bedroom soon and it is very (very!) much smaller than my last so at the moment I am stuck with only a few pieces of furniture. I am trying to find a theme, something that will look modern and that I can create with accessories, not by altering the room as I am renting.
I have a vintage desk with a slanted surface that folds out, and an old-style bed with a large curvy headboard. They are both dark brown, and the walls of the room are brick. I can add shelves and have a small inbuilt wardrobe space.
I need tips on how to modern up the place and add a theme that won’t make me feel like I’m living in a daggy, old-fashioned kids room.
Any help is much appreciated!
Paint your furniture in a bright color and use fun fabrics.
Check out the before and after section on www.designsponge.com. They have lots of cool ideas on how to update vintage furniture.
One I really like is drawing a picture of something on the wood, then you paint everything around the picture. You end up with the wood grain picture showing through. Looks really cool.
Get a nice carpet and have cool art on the walls.
