Creating an "old money" interior aesthetic is all about combining timeless elegance with understated luxury. One effective way to evoke this vibe is by incorporating vintage art posters. Here are ten steps to achieve an old money interior style using unique artworks from Kensington Poster Gallery.
1. Choose a Neutral Color Palette
An old money style often features a neutral color palette of creams, whites, and soft greys. These colors serve as perfect backdrops for your vintage art posters, allowing them to stand out subtly yet effectively.
2. Sculptural Antique Pieces
Blend your art pieces with sculptural antique furniture. Whether it be a grand wooden table or a vintage leather sofa, the right furniture can complement the intricate details of vintage posters like the Pablo Picasso Arles Musee Reattu 1971 Original Lithograph Exhibition Art Poster.
3. Classic Symmetry
Arrange your space with a sense of balance and symmetry, a hallmark of traditional interiors. Line up posters in pairs or triptychs to echo this classic architectural style. Miro's Les Fauves 1966 Original Exhibition Lithograph Art Poster pairs beautifully for this purpose.
4. Invest in Iconic Art Pieces
Investing in art by renowned artists gives your space authenticity. Consider incorporating art by acclaimed artists like Marc Chagall. Pieces such as the Marc Chagall Les Clowns Musiciens 1981 Original Offset Lithograph Print add a layer of sophistication.
5. Create a Gallery Wall
A gallery wall filled with vintage posters can be a focal point. Combine diverse yet cohesive pieces like the Pablo Picasso School of Paris Gallery 1975 Original Exhibition Poster.
6. Mix Old with New
While maintaining a classic theme, it's important to incorporate some modern elements. This mix enriches your space and highlights the age and history of your vintage art.
7. Quality Lighting
Lighting sets the mood. Use antique brass or crystal lighting fixtures to enhance the ambiance and draw attention to your art collection.
8. Seek Out Unique Finds
Sometimes the unique texture and colors of a piece can add unexpected depth. The Joan Miro Galerie Maeght 1959 Original Mourlot Lithograph Art Poster is a perfect example of a unique find that brings character.
9. Layer Textures
Incorporate various textures with rich materials like velvet, silk, and cashmere in furnishings, rugs, and accents.
