What Needs To Be Resorted In The 1900 House Interior Design?
There might be certain segments or areas in the house that need a complete restoration because of being worn out. For those areas, you will have to call a professional to restore. To add a lovely new touch to old walls and center tables, here are few tips.

Tips On Using Vintage Wallpaper
- Pattern with leaves and flowers
You can choose a vintage type bold leaf pattern and make it the focal point of your room by putting it only on one wall. Since you have accented one wall with bold and bright colors, the others should be left clean. Use interesting vintage style furniture options adjacent to this wall to create a retro effect.
- Print with diamonds
More common during the 20s and 30s, an art deco wall print of vertical diamonds in a pistachio-green background, can be replicated even today. Just stick this paper on one wall to exude Hollywood style glamour and elegance. This pattern was widely used in Hollywood movies, restaurants, and lavish entertainment zones during that era.
- Bird Pattern
Bird motifs were more common in vintage wallpaper designs. You can replicate the same effect by getting a similar motif wallpaper and pasting on one wall, keeping others clean. This will focus all the attention on this wall. To give justice to the bright print, add neutral-colored furniture and drapes so as all the attention is diverted to the vibrant print.
- Bright Paint
If you love the 60s vintage blossom effect, then get a similar wallpaper and paste in a girl’s room preferably on the dressing table wall to create a girly domain. This will add brightness and exuberance to the room while making it very feminine.
