And do not think that the decor items of our grandmothersno one has used it for a long time and they are out of fashion. Not at all! On the contrary, now retro style is at the peak of popularity. The main thing is to approach the design of a modern apartment wisely and not to copy with one hundred percent accuracy the style of the 70s and 80s. But it is very much recommended to dilute with vintage things a modern design. This will immediately give you a good taste. We collected 10 things that our grandmother loved to use in the design of the apartment, which have not lost their relevance in our days. See and be inspired!
1. Wallpaper in flower

The main thing is not to turn the house into a solid flower garden, but, for example, use floral wallpaper in one of the rooms or on one of the walls. Don't forget to complement them with curtains, carpets and blankets in the same romantic colors, vintage decor items and fresh bouquets! See photos of the interior in the romantic style HERE.
2. Knitted lace napkins

By the way, you can also try to knit this home accessory yourself (fortunately, there are many videos with such master classes on YouTube). Although now such napkins, which have already become vintage, are sold in stores (in the same Zara Home and H&M Home).
3. Metal bed

Feel free to repaint this essential piece of furniture for any home in your favorite color and feel like a princess. Or a queen.
4. Sideboard with dishes

These days, cabinets with huge glass panels through which you can see your dinnerware are back in fashion! Just don't put it in the room, like our grandmothers did; it looks best in the kitchen and dining room.
5. Patterned lace curtains

Yes, the same ones that were hung on curtain rods in the 70s and 80s. By the way, they look especially beautiful in light kitchens with large windows. We recommend them!
6. Houseplants on the windowsill

The only rule: the furniture should be modern and preferably light. Do you have other ideas for using our grandmothers' decor items? Write them in the comments!
