Vintage lamps, old posters and grandma’s carpet tell us what things it’s time to stop gathering dust in the garage, and what to do with them.

1 Chairs

If you have old chairs standing idle, which you use at best as stands, put them in order and return them to the apartment. Some furniture needs only a light restoration (for example, to update the varnish or to touch up the scratches) so that it plays in a new way. A more serious repair may also be required: replacement of damaged parts or fasteners, re-fitting, new filler. But small money and time spent on updating will be an excellent investment in the interior, because vintage furniture gives a zest to the space, looks noble and will last for a long time with careful handling.

2 Figurines and dishes

Is there a box with a family service or a set of figurines in the farthest corner of your garage? Vintage accessories are back on trend! Ceramics, glass and porcelain will fit into both classic and modern interiors. Some items will perfectly complement the Scandinavian style, while others are suitable for country music. Use them for their intended purpose or for decoration. This decor will bring variety to the modern space, create a sense of history and the connection of generations.

3 Sideboard

The sideboard that you inherited is not only a convenient storage system, but also a high-quality product that can serve for decades more. Among the antique furniture there are samples of solid oak and other types of wood, which are perfectly preserved to this day and require minimal cosmetic restoration. You can fit such an item into different styles. The main thing is to allocate the right place for it and not “interrupt” with other bright furniture or too active decoration.

4 Lamp

Old lamps look either very massive, or, on the contrary, have a laconic shape and a simple pattern on the ceiling. In both cases, this item will decorate the apartment and bring variety to the laconic modern interior. If you are hanging a complicated crystal chandelier, it should be the main accent in the room. And simple glass plafonds can quite get along with other bright details.
