The love for all things traditional and old-fashioned is shared by many people. Antique collecting goes in and out of fashion fairly regularly, but old-fashioned styles never get old. Visiting vintage properties that house vintage furniture and decor inspires many of us to try to create a similar feeling in our own home. Whether your home is old or new, with attention to detail and a taste for vintage or antique-style furniture, you can effectively create your own vintage-style environment quite easily. Furniture, wallpaper and flooring can all be carefully chosen to create the look you are looking for.
There are many traditional periods that are popular in which to design your home that work very effectively but also practically. However, whether you’re inspired by a Georgian theme, a Victorian theme, or even an Art Deco theme, the key to creating an effective style is paying attention to the little details.
The Victorian style went out of style for many years when minimalism and simplicity were the fashion of the time. However, in more recent years many of us have come to love the detail and richness of Victorian décor. Victorians liked their rooms highly decorative and opulent with rich fabrics and patterns. It is important to decorate your room in deep, rich colors and to focus on the small details. Collecting ornate clocks, sconces, lamps, and other period items and using them to decorate your room will help create a Victorian atmosphere.
Traditional radiators are a more subtle Victorian feature that is often overlooked when decorating a room. Although you may be planning to give your room a very traditional feel, nowadays, you’ll more than likely want to keep modern conveniences, including central heating. If you don’t like the idea of outfitting your newly decorated period property with modern radiators, traditional radiators are a great option. Cast iron radiators are beautifully designed in authentic antique styles to fit perfectly into your home.
Furthermore, a traditional radiator is not only a unique feature, but also a practical and efficient means of heating. You can choose to buy an authentic old fashioned radiator, but if you want a more reliable source of heating, then a new traditional radiator, but with an authentic design, is probably the best option for you.
