Ancient atmosphere in a modern house

References to the achievements of previous generations are an integral part of our everyday life. Traces of past eras, especially visible in art, architecture and literary works, add sophistication to contemporary tendencies to simplify everything.

Sources of inspiration

The world is moving forward, constantly showing new faces. Past experiences have a significant impact on changes in various areas of life. In discussions, we like to quote the so-called classics, we refer to famous paintings and musical pieces, and we decorate our clothes with motifs stylized for specific eras. We also often use inspirations from years ago to make the space around us more attractive. – Creating an arrangement based on accents referring to history and tradition is a way to create an extraordinary interior, provided that it is based on appropriate patterns and materials. – emphasizes Bartosz Gołaszewski from Cameleo, a manufacturer of paints and decorative plasters – It is difficult to imagine a medieval inn or a traditional country inn filled with plastic decorations . The right selection of furniture and accessories can take us back in time by several or several thousand years. References to timeless antique designs have become very popular recently.

Just a few changes…

Introducing elements stylized for a specific historical era into rooms does not have to mean exactly copying the solutions typical of that era. The decorations used are primarily intended to create a tasteful decor that will give the room a unique atmosphere. They must always create a planned and coherent whole. – People looking for interesting, antique patterns should start by selecting the right paints and plasters for the walls . – notes Bartosz Gołaszewski from Cameleo – The coverings available today also include those that tastefully imitate old decorative techniques . Surrounded by the "colors of antiquity", we can start introducing stylish furniture, paintings or sculptures into the interior. An interesting complement to such an arrangement will also be crowning the walls with decorative strips.

…and proven patterns

The use of a few simple interior design treatments can completely change the atmosphere in the room. The magic of antiquity is an endless source of inspiration for artists, including those dealing with typically applied art. Thanks to the centuries of experience of subsequent generations, we can freely create our own, unique arrangements in which traditional threads will absolutely dominate or constitute a diversification to the most modern trends. A TV, computer or Hi-fi system can harmonize very well with even the most antique composition, if all its elements are carefully selected. After all, you should always use the wisdom of your ancestors using your own head.
