How to adopt a vintage style in the bedroom? Our advice

In this time of energy transition, where concern for local and artisanal production is regaining its rights, vintage is one of the trendiest styles. 

In this article, Chambrekids offers you some tips for giving bedrooms a "retro" look. Bedding, decoration, furniture... the possibilities are endless, and the combinations infinite!

Of course, there isn't just one ready-made formula to apply. Your tastes and preferences will give the room a unique ambiance and design. But when looking for a vintage finish, there are a few small particulars to know...

What is vintage style?

The term "vintage" is so frequently used that we almost forget its meaning.

Interesting little anecdote: this adjective, which has many etymological roots, doesn't contain the word "wine" for nothing. It's a bit like talking about a vintage, something that has aged and improved with time!

A vintage bedroom should therefore have a nostalgic look... without sadness, of course. Because the past can help build a future full of promise!

And what better way to achieve this than with authentic materials? At Chambrekids, we fully value craftsmanship. Indeed, we prefer to operate according to a local production system in France, using natural and recyclable elements. This allows us to maintain strong ethics, to which we are particularly attached. 

Chambrekids: a return to simpler values

Thus, we return to a logic of proximity. It's not about closing ourselves off to the world around us, but about reducing the excesses of globalization and over-decentralized production; limiting goods transportation and operating in a limited area. In the medium and long term, there's enough to make a difference.

Without being "old-fashioned", we want to rediscover the eco-responsibility of a time when there was no need to multiply production chains. When processes were simpler, and more transparent too. 

That's why vintage has its place in our virtual aisles. By choosing your beds, furniture and decoration from the items in our catalog, you'll certainly find what you need to recreate the atmosphere of yesteryear! Here are some tips about that...

How to give a vintage look to the bedroom: furniture and decor...

First of all, you should know that vintage is generally synonymous with simplicity. It's not about opting for flashy colors or psychedelic patterns. Excess and overflow have no place in the equation.

Our Vintage Octave dresser offers a beautiful example of this ideal simplicity.

It's the wood itself that gives it its beautiful natural appearance. Equipped with three drawers, and therefore three really spacious storage spaces, it will already bring a beautiful touch of authenticity to the room while proving very practical! We have already had excellent feedback about it, if only by virtue of its compact workmanship.

Staying with this range, we are pleased to present our Vintage Octave wardrobe, also of undeniable elegance, offering to the eye the beauty of a manufactured good.

Just like the dresser from the same collection, indeed, it has been locally manufactured and is made entirely of wood. This guarantees resistance and durability - exactly what we expect from old-style furniture!

How to choose a vintage bed?

But what would a bedroom be... without a bed? 

For a master bedroom or teenage sleeping space, you can count on the retro elegance of our Origine double bed, with its Scandinavian look and generous 160x200cm surface. 

A few trinkets reminiscent of old times on the dresser, slightly kitsch wallpaper (which isn't necessarily a sign of bad taste!)... and you're done!

We've obviously thought of babies too, and strongly recommend our Vintage Icone convertible baby bed of 70x140cm, whose wood brings out a timeless character.

It's not called a "convertible" bed for nothing: when you think the time is right, you can easily remove the bars and mark a new stage in these young people's development! Add to that a practical storage dresser, and you have a very complete solution for the children's room. 

Whatever the case, we guarantee quality models, allowing for a secure night and comfortable sleep. This is how we have been able to build our reputation since our creation. 

Vintage in the spotlight at Chambrekids: it's your choice!

Children's bed, adult bed, baby dressers, wardrobes, toys... if you're looking for furniture and accessories made according to traditional values, with respect for nature and local expertise, we'll be able to satisfy you. 

Everything we offer is meant to be both vintage and modern, because for us, this isn't a paradox! Indeed, the return of craftsmanship to the forefront gives real relevance to wooden creations, without artifice, without using toxic products and non-recyclable materials.

We are doing everything we can to be environmentally responsible... while offering you complete satisfaction in terms of design, comfort and durability!
