It is not difficult to transform your apartment with the right ideas into a pearl, as long as you do not overdo it with the retro furniture.

Where can I find vintage furniture?
Before furnishing your home with matching retro décor, you should consider whether you are looking for real antique artifacts or whether you are looking for modern replicas of old things.
Vintage artifacts are truly unique and often require a long search until you find what you are looking for. Good points of contact are the flea market or the Internet.
