And along with the aesthetic aspect, often carried by family stories , these pieces convey a special meaning. However, for the combination of modern and old to reveal harmony, it is essential to know how to balance the amount of items with a vintage feel in the environment. “To include an antique piece of furniture in a modern décor , we first need to observe the style and layout proposal and then define the best place and level of prominence we want to give it. In a more classic sense, then we can use the piece in its purely original aesthetic” , explains architect Fernanda Mendonça , from the Oliva Arquitetura office. (Denilson Machado/CASACOR)

Therefore, the recommendation is to work on the project including specific pieces that take center stage, in a mix of vintage and modern furniture .

Using old furniture is also a good alternative for those who want to save money on decoration . Nowadays, there are many stores that specialize in selling this type of furniture, making it easier for those who want to buy it. Another possibility is to search for exactly the furniture you want, since it may not be in the shop windows as it is an item that is not very popular.
