The wardrobe is one of the most common pieces of furniture, used by families and homeowners for centuries. Does that mean you can find a two-hundred-year-old wardrobe in an antique furniture store? Yes, that’s entirely possible and very likely, especially if you’re diligently searching for one.
Vintage wardrobes stand for quality and durability. As you know, the wood does not lose its hardness and solid structure. Time and effort make it even stronger and more durable – something that is hard to believe. However, this is for pure wood, so you don’t have to worry that your vintage wardrobe is flimsy or that the wood has aged to become unsuitable for further use.
If you have a vintage wardrobe stored somewhere in your ancestral home, lay it bare and give it a good dusting. One way to make them more permanent is to paint them from the inside. Paint takes care of the wood and protects it from blowing and cracking.
The exterior needs to be left as is if you are looking for a painted finish that will represent its old age. But do you know that some vintage wardrobes had artistic motifs like flowers or patterns to enhance their decorative perception! This is also another great way to make your wardrobe look amazing by painting eye-catching flowers and roses on the corners or a bunch in the middle.
If you choose both options, you can easily go and paint the entire wardrobe with a color you love. It can be any color such as white, rose, cream, or a darker shade of chocolate brown or ash gray. In this case, the frame and carved design of your vintage wardrobe will emphasize the vintage characteristics and not the color.
