Flea Market anyone? You know you are drawn to modern furniture and interiors, and yet you really don’t like a space that feels cold and sterile. This first room by Apartment Therapy is anything but sterile.

And who could blame you? And that’s why Vintage Modern is so appealing to you. You get to mix the old with the new, like in this hip living:

Though the backdrop of the room, the walls and windows, are many times white or monochromatic, the furniture and accessories have the color, shape and texture to bring the warmth into the space. This room has all three and it really stands out against the neutral wall color.

The great thing about Vintage Modern is ease of mixing different styles in the one space. With this room in Australia, you have the modern coffee table and flooring mixed with the retro look of the larger furniture. And it works great!

What’s great is that even if you don’t have time for swap meets and garage sales, so many of the pieces from the mid-century were so great that they have been remade and mimicked year after year. In this sitting area, the chairs are a throwback to the 1950s era but with modern fabric.

The other great thing about Vintage Modern is how low maintenance it can be—fabrics such as cotton, microfiber or ultra-suede and leather all look great and function even better. This gray-toned room is full of soft and smooth textures—all low maintenance.

You can have a fun leather sofa mixed with mismatched retro chairs and the new and old work and appear as though they were destined for each other.

When it comes to color, walls are seen as backdrops for the room. This light wall showcases the animal theme. I would definitely not jump up and down on that couch.

Because the style harkens back to the early twentieth century, the innovative developed during that time are very popular: acrylic, plastic and fiberglass, chrome and steel, and molded plywood.  This room from Decorology showcases seating in all types of materials.

Neutral tones of gray, white, beige and brown are very common and black is a common accent color. This room from Skonahem uses the darker shades in wall color and furnishings but because the ceiling and wainscoting is a bright white, the room still looks light and open.

Pops of color on the art, furniture and accessories can vary dramatically based on the person, however very common colors are teal blues, army greens, and yellow, as well as deep oranges and bright reds. This room, also from Skonahem, uses orange and red as accent colors.

So whether you are having a cocktail party with friends, or kids are in the picture, the room and the furnishings can handle it. And with all these awesome vintage findings, who wouldn’t want to have a cocktail party here?

Concrete floors, countertops, and furniture are also very popular and lacquered finishes are very common. You’ll often see lacquered woods in flooring and furniture.

So now that we’ve given you some ideas…go make it happen in your house!

This cool room is from Apartment Therapy. I like the use of the oars and the rustic tables. I bet you can think of a few items in your attic or basement that would easily hang on your wall. You don’t have to stick with framed pictures or predictable wall art.

What better way to show off these great architectural treasures than with a light background? This picture is from Blue Ant Studio.

You have a great sense of humor when it comes to design and even like to make fun of the style itself. Which means that you will throw in a toy or a vintage piece to keep the mood of the place just like the color: light! Here, the unique lamp base is fun and adds great texture to the space. Thanks to Cote de Texas for this one.

The fabrics are natural (cottons and linens) and are light in touch. You will often see animal skin rugs to add that soft element to the wooden floors like this room below from Decor Pad.

The furniture is comfortable and the layout is cozy. The more it encourages intimate gatherings the better! Just watch out for the red wine spills on the new white sofa. If you have indoor pets or indoor children, you can still have this look but you will need to make the extra investment to ensure that your fabrics are protected and washable. Or just buy a lot of throws that you can drape over the stains. Another from Decor Pad.

You love old and new alike, and love to highlight them all to expose the uniqueness of each. I like how the built-in storage is modern but uses and older wood look for the doors.

Your space should feel light and airy and give off the mood one has when at the beach: laid back!

Much of the furniture is wood or wood framed (the lighter the better, think driftwood!) and as long as it’s used sparingly or with modern lines, you even throw in a wicker piece here and there.

The key with Cottage Chic is balance; in one corner there could be a rustic wood table that looks like it could have been found rather than made, but it is offset with a modern vase while another corner is adorned with a modern Lucite piece.

Your true inspiration (whether you know it or not) is the sea…the colors found at your favorite beach: white and light beige of the sand, a variety of blues for the ocean and sky, and greens and pale grays of the sea glass…but the key is white!

Don’t be afraid to experiment with patterns and colors. With a smaller space, if you have a few great accessories, you can actually redecorate more often with fewer pieces as seen here from Decorology.

Who says that cottages can’t be modern and chic? Who says that they have to be floral and cheesy?  Not you! This room is certainly not cheesy.

You love the carefree spirit that the cottage interior inspires, but you are also serious about your appreciation for modern art and hip treasures. Here, the zebra rug and the cool lamps give the space some personality.

The use of the wooden pieces around the room keeps it from looking sterile.

The color throughout is light and airy, and though you love to accessorize with fun colors (the sky’s the limit with a white background), the main color seen and felt throughout the house is white or very light versions of colors so that they feel almost white.

Wouldn’t this be a great space to come home to? It’s fun and colorful and the windows let in plenty of sun.
