Chest of drawers in an antique look: Vintage furniture is more popular than ever

Bring a romantic touch into your own four walls with an antique-look chest of drawers. The elegant piece of furniture can be perfectly showcased in any classic interior and is an extremely flexible and multifunctional alternative for small apartments. In the dining room it houses crockery and cutlery, in the bedroom - the bed linen and in the living room it can even be used as a TV cabinet.

Look from the flea market or antiques?

If you dream of a chest of drawers with an antique look, you basically have two options - find one at the flea market and then restore it or buy one from the antique shop. Flea market furniture is generally cheaper, but it often needs repair and restoration. It should also be taken into account that flea market furniture does not have a certificate of origin - and therefore the year of manufacture can only be roughly estimated. Anyone who is skilled in craftsmanship can still save costs in the end.

Restore the look yourself

Even if the chest of drawers you bought looks worn out, it can often only be spruced up with a coat of varnish. If the fronts are decorated with wood carvings, then it is worth choosing two finishes in different shades. This even emphasizes the ornaments more clearly. In any case, if the cupboard is decorated with elaborate paintings, then it is better to have it restored. Door handles with gold patina will bring out the trendy old look even more.
