Often, when thinking of a garage, the image that comes to mind is of a place dedicated to storing cars or where various household chores are done, like a real workshop.
In reality, the garage can have many more uses: you can indeed transform it into a beautiful place to host friends and family for a quiet and fun evening.
We have already seen how to transform a garage into a tavern, so let’s see how to furnish a garage in vintage style to impress friends and family even more.
Furnishing a Vintage Style Garage: A Note
First of all, vintage refers to furniture and decor items that belong to the last century, up to the 1980s.
Our advice is not to overdo it with the number of vintage elements to place inside the space. A few are enough, to be inserted homogeneously into a predominantly modern decor.
We are not only talking about large pieces of furniture but also small decorative items: lamps, clocks, vintage prints, and old books! Let’s see how to use them.
Furnishing a Vintage Style Garage: Floor and Walls
You can start by changing the color of the walls and floors, also considering the size of the space: a color that is too dark in a small garage could negatively affect the appearance and comfort of the tavern, while a light color would make it look larger and more spacious.
The perfect colors for furnishing the house in vintage style recall shades of green, yellow, brown, beige, cream, red, blue, and pink. In fact, these years are characterized by bright and contrasting colors.
Think about decorating the rooms with vintage wallpaper. It is not uncommon to find prints with geometric or checkered patterns.
Furnishing a Vintage Style Garage: Bar Area
Why not create a small bar area inside the garage?
New or restored, the counter should definitely be made of wood, perhaps sanded and repainted, accompanied by charming vintage stools.
To complete the look, you can fill the wall with neon lights and portraits of icons from that era.
Furnishing a Vintage Style Garage: Furniture
The ideal is to buy furniture and generally past decades’ decor items at flea markets and reinvent them as we please, decorate and restore them to achieve a surprising result.
Restoration should not only be understood as recovery but also as creative reworking born from contemporary imagination.
Furnishing a Vintage Style Garage: The Door
Even though we sometimes focus only on decorative items like furniture and sofas, choosing a good door is fundamental.
The door is and will always be your calling card. So why not choose a door suitable for a vintage garage?
Think of a sectional door with wide slats in a dark color, wood-style, perfect for a place where you can have fun with your friends or relax watching a movie. But also a door in brighter colors like red or green!
Safe, durable, and motorized, an additional advantage of the sectional door is its high energy efficiency: it fully exploits the thermal properties of the panels, making your tavern safe and always protected against temperature changes.
