Family abode of Emilie, nestled amidst the rooftops of picturesque Strasbourg city.
Explore the charm of vintage-inspired homes from France, Sweden, and beyond as we delve into a selection of unique properties that blend history with modern comforts.
In the heart of the French Riviera, a dreamy vintage-inspired home boasts original terracotta floors and stone fireplaces, offering a harmonious blend of antique and contemporary comforts. This 19th-century bastide estate showcases the essence of the "Chateaucore" style, which carefully balances vintage charm and contemporary functionality.
Meanwhile, in Brittany, a restored 19th-century château combines historic architectural elements like original paneling with modern amenities such as an indoor pool and home theatre. This château embodies the Chateaucore style, with its muted, romantic color palette inspired by aged plaster walls and faded fabrics, and its mix of vintage statement pieces like carved wood sideboards and gilded mirrors with modern furnishings.
Sweden's vintage aesthetic often emphasizes minimalism mixed with rustic and antique elements. One such example is a Boho Loft Apartment situated in a converted Stockholm building, featuring lovely black floors and an angled ceiling.
For those seeking more inspiration, specialized online interior design resources, Pinterest collections dedicated to vintage styles (including French coastal décor), and YouTube channels showcasing design legacies such as Charlotte Perriand's work can provide a wealth of information on vintage-inspired interiors from different countries. Websites focused on luxury properties and décor trends, like Luxuo and Homes & Gardens, are also valuable resources for exploring vintage-inspired homes.
In the French countryside, Emilie's home offers a relaxed, vintage style family home, while a Swedish home in the South of France showcases the charm of a home owned by a Swedish photographer and French milliner. The florist's home in Gothenburg is characterized by soft greens and dreamy floral decor, and a fabulous eclectic home belongs to a French antique dealer.
Each of these homes offers a unique take on the vintage aesthetic, demonstrating the versatility and timeless appeal of this design trend. The photography for the entire article is courtesy of @lunettesetsalopettes.
