Antique

Difference in antique wall murals

The main distinction between antique and vintage is the previously mentioned condition of an item being at least 100 years old to be considered antique. Vintage and retro also apply to things that are not currently mass-produced, but are always younger than their antique equivalents. Antique wall murals follow the same pattern because their subjects and designs are more than 100 years old. This gives antique wall murals such a unique edge in terms of decorating because you can really emphasize the past to beautify the future. Another characteristic to consider when differentiating antique and vintage is that the former signifies an item from the past but does not pertain to any particular period in time, which makes makes the term vintage pretty vague. This is something you can share with your family and friends if they mistakenly refer to your antique wall murals as vintage.

Tips and hints

First and foremost, avoid using antique wall murals with colours that clash. These motifs are graphic enough on their own to create impact, so it is important to use colours that either contrast or come from the same colour group, depending on what look you are going for. Clashing colours with antique wall murals will make the space look cluttered and distracted rather than graphic and classy. Solid, if not antique themselves, furnishings are probably the way to go when partnering them with your wall decoration. One of the most important factors to consider when using antique wall murals is the things that will surround it. If you are going for a really old-fashioned look, dark wood furniture is the way to go. However, if you want to mix it up a little and put a modern twist on your interior design, perhaps partner them with lighter fare. For example, if you use the antique wall mural "Etched Wood Panels", its neutral colour will allow you to play around and experiment. Antique wall murals like this can work ideally with any type of interior design style, as you can see in the mock up on our page.
