Old-fashioned 30 years ago, we have seen it in many restaurants for several years now and our interiors have adopted it without error. What are we talking about and how can we honor this outdated trend?
Interior decoration likes to revisit trends from the past. Among these timeless styles, some are reinvented with modernity, enough to charm nostalgic people as well as lovers of contemporary design. In recent seasons, a practice well known to our elders has resurfaced in our living rooms and dining rooms, inviting wall decoration that is as decorative as it is personal.
This return to grace seduces with its ability to combine vintage charm and playful modernity, creating an effect that everyone agrees on. It’s a way of personalizing your interior with objects that tell a story, arouse curiosity, and allow you to vary the atmosphere as you wish. The art of decorating walls is therefore enriched today with carefully assembled collectible items.
To compose this wall decoration, several supports are available to you, each bringing its own style and making the arrangement easier. Traditional wall rails and nails can still be used, but more modern systems like invisible W-shaped hooks are gaining popularity as they are simple to install. The idea being to mix the elements to create a dynamic effect, avoiding the rigidity of an overly symmetrical arrangement.
A very trendy detail completes this composition: the integration of designer neon. Placed in the center, it brings a bright, dynamic and resolutely contemporary touch, creating an interesting contrast with the hanging objects. Neon can take up a word, a silhouette or a simple drawing, thus transforming this wall into a real living and trendy painting.
So, what is this type of decoration that is making a comeback and that our grandparents were so fond of? It’s nothing more and nothing less than walls of plates. Long a symbol of family tradition, this way of displaying old or decorative tableware on the walls has been reborn with a style that is much more in tune with the times. Today we decorate it with pretty family plates, second-hand finds and even lighting, offering an aesthetic that is both chic and full of memories.
This great return reminds us that decoration is a living art where past and present interact, inviting everyone to appropriate a piece of history to enhance their daily lives.
