1. Stand out from the crowd
What kind of cafe, restaurant or barber shop do you remember? As a customer, of course, you remember where you got first-class service and high-quality products. In addition to these, I often remember those business premises whose interior design had something unusual and personal, which attracted attention. A good way to deviate from the mainstream is to use old objects as bright spots in the interior. Old tennis rackets on the wall of the restaurant, old mirror doors as fitting booth doors and a collage collected from vintage mirrors are examples of this. So feel free to use your imagination. Interior design is part of the company's brand, a stamp that distinguishes it from others!
2. Gain exposure
The fun details in the interior will make you dig out the cell phones. As a customer, something extraordinary is often photographed. Restaurant dinner The posted photo is a free advertisement for the company. We have also taken the pictures used in this blog along the way, whenever something inventive and surprising has come up.
3. Responsibility as a value
There is a lot of talk about responsible entrepreneurship. Today's customers are aware and, as consumers, value responsibility. Responsible entrepreneurship is no longer a choice, it is a necessity. Without further ado, companies should therefore make more environmentally responsible choices, and recycled interior design is one choice in a more ecological direction. Recycled interior design elements can sometimes be found unnoticed even in your own backyard, and by cleaning and enhancing them, you extend their useful life in their original or new purpose.
4. Save
An old object is often not only beautiful, but also a cheaper option for decorating a company. Ilolla has been able to observe how several cafes have used, for example, old school chairs, which many schools have auctioned off, instead of mass-produced furniture. A fun trend has also been to collect different old chairs in asymmetrical table groups. The ingenuity also attracted attention in a clothing store where old theater benches had been used. The benches were not only practical for fitting shoes, but also an amazingly beautiful interior design element. When you use old objects in your interior, you can probably get rid of them for at least the purchase price. Of course, it is understandable that a new entrepreneur is too busy looking for chairs in recycling centers or second-hand shops. That's why we are the ones who curated the products ready for you!
5. Vintage takes time
Trends change, but classic and timeless vintage items remain and retain their value better. There is also a danger that when you sell them, you might even make a profit. Speaking of trends, many of the finalists of the Suomen Kaunein Koti program used old objects in their interior, some more, others less.
6. There are as many styles as there are decorators
Especially when decorating with old objects, your own personality and style come out more strongly. Industrial style, retro, antique or a combination of these? Playing around is allowed, your own hobbies, objects that are important to you or collectibles where the eye rests can serve as inspiration. For example, the theme of the signatory's home is strongly sports, the related objects and their stories.
7. A home full of stories
An old object often has a story attached to it. An association with an object can remind you of a trip or the person from whom the object originates. High-quality old objects can last from generation to generation.
8. Quality
Often, old furniture and objects have been built without sparing time to withstand use. The materials used are often of high quality, often solid wood is used. For example, we have come across an old chest of drawers that a carpenter had built a hundred years ago on the spot in an apartment, which we were able to save during its renovation. The heavy cabinet quickly found a new home.
9. Warehouses full (treasures)
Most of our warehouses are full of unnecessary stuff. There is nothing we can do about our unnecessary purchase decisions made over the years. Instead, sometimes the "inventory" of your own home storage can surprise you, and the solution found there can save you money and one unnecessary purchase. If the old items found in the warehouse do not belong to your style, you can put them in circulation. Feel free to offer unnecessary old items to us. We also buy.
10. Interest, atmosphere and people
Hunting for old stuff is simply so interesting that it has to be recommended! There is something inexplicably relaxing about the atmosphere of antique events. In addition, you meet new people at the events.
