Vintage Furniture Meets Casual Chic in Ashley's Hottest New Collection
European and American Country Antiques Inspire Ashley Furniture HomeStore's Cottage Designs
(firmenpresse) - ARCADIA, WI -- (Marketwire) -- 10/29/12 -- Ever wish a vineyard or sandy beach backed onto your patio or deck? Have you dreamed of spending more time away from the city? Or that you could bring a bit of the country to your home? Re-creating the old, well-used and comfortable looks of the past for city living is the goal behind a new style of furniture at . Dubbed Vintage Casual, it blends the beloved looks of European country, coastal, beach-house and American farmhouse styles.
"As much a state of mind as a style, Vintage Casual furniture connects us with the past without relying on too-fancy or too-folksy design ideas," says Brenda Dillon, VP of Merchandising. "The look is elegant, but low-key, versatile and casual chic. You can take it in a coastal, cottage or country house direction simply by the accents you add. Or you can mix the looks together for a very personal style."
Here are a few signature details to look for in Ashley's new Vintage Casual furniture collection:
With rustic roots, Vintage Casual styles put durability and usability at the top of the list. Nothing's so precious that the kids can't use it... and, like a good basic wardrobe, well-chosen pieces are better than a lot of pieces. So you'll see sturdy materials and simple, sturdy shapes (think , schoolhouse chairs and open cupboards), rather than anything ornate.
Vintage Casual styles show a healthy respect for history and age. The look of washed linens and worn or distressed woods add to the understated mood. Burnished metal knobs, over-sized hinges, and with visible rivets or screws add a sturdy, heirloom quality. These aren't the kind of antiques we read about in a history book, but the kind we might still find in a grandparents home, rural schoolhouse, farmstead or cottage.
There's nothing like an absence of bright color to take your stress level down a notch. Use neutral tones, like the one in our , and apply it to Vintage Casual American and European country styles for a look that's easy-going but stylish.
Matching all the furniture in our room is actually a very modern thing to do; a way of 'streamlining' it. But prior to the mid-20th century, each piece of furniture in a room was unique. Mismatched furniture still carries a casual and vintage feel, suggesting a collected-over-time look that celebrates the past. Think around a table, an surrounded by wood cases, a , or a large, soft, replacing a coffee table.
