Interest in the past has moved to center stage in modern culture, as evidenced by historical films, adventure games, and war commemorations. But what are the best ways to represent the past?
Pamono offers vintage and reclaimed wood dining tables of all styles. Whether you prefer ornate antique pieces or pared-down industrial ones, you’ll find the perfect table for your space at Pamono.
Antiques
Antiques can add a sense of history to your home and enhance the beauty of the space. The trick is to balance contrasting furniture styles and decorative accents from different periods to create a harmonious blend.
It is essential to understand the difference between antiques, vintage, and retro so that you can successfully incorporate antique pieces into your design scheme. Antiques are typically 100 or older, while vintage items can be from any era. Retro is a more vague term that can describe any newer-made items that look like a style from another era. For example, your childhood lunch box could qualify as a retro item.
A gorgeous antique table can be paired with sleek modern dining chairs to create an unexpected contrast that highlights the beauty of both pieces. When pairing antiques with modern furnishings, it is essential to match the color palette and tone of each piece.
Traditional
The Vintage restaurant tables with a retro vibe aren’t just classic and timeless and incredibly versatile. Their small footprint allows them to fit into even the smallest nooks while, on-demand, they can expand to seat a large group. With so many antique dining table options, choosing the right one can initially seem daunting.
The key to making the right choice is understanding how different styles work together. Eclectic style can be a powerful force when used to create a well-curated interior that exudes character with a touch of wit. Weathered vintage furniture, for example, can add a warm and welcoming element to an eclectic table.
Wooden restaurant tables add rich texture to any ambiance. In this dining space, the angular chair frames perfectly complement the muscular contours of the wooden table surface. In addition, the matching tonal warmth of the wood and leather seating references a pleasing natural texture that unites the whole look.
Mid-Century Modern
One of the most popular vintage styles to emerge in recent decades is mid-century modern. The design aesthetic is sleek, simple, and functional, and it pairs well with other designs, such as Scandinavian or industrial, as well as rustic and farmhouse themes.
Color is also a big part of this style, with neutrals being the safest option. Radiant hues like avocado green or mustard yellow are classic options, but you can find more muted tones that work just as well.
Bringing in the right accents is an easy way to add a touch of mid-century modern to your dining room. Look for a mix of framed prints, mirrors, and other decorative pieces that showcase the design elements of this era.
Light wood furniture can be an excellent option for this design style, as shown in this dining area from Colombe. Here, a Saarinen-inspired tulip table and Wishbone chairs are complemented by a saucer-shaped pendant light.
Boho
The free-spirited, eclectic nature of bohemian decorating styles is a perfect fit for vintage restaurant tables. The color palette is often a mix of earthy shades and bright, bold hues. A fusion of textures is joint and can include everything from crocheted napkins to woven baskets. You’ll also see a mix of patterns, from stripes to florals, paired with unique fabrics like fringed curtains and tufted ottomans.
Treasured souvenirs from worldwide travels are a big part of this decorating aesthetic. Casually display them to avoid the museum look and try to incorporate natural elements.
Modern boho design is often a mix of polished midcentury pieces and colorful art and textiles. This London dining room from Emilie Fournet Interiors features both, with leaf print upholstered chairs and a painted 1950s kitchen sideboard alongside a rustic wood table and vintage seating. Trailing plants and a woven macrame runner bring casual botanical vibes to complete the room.
