Furniture

• Check for any damaged furniture in your house.
• Preserve those that can be reused.
• Try to bring in sofas, tables or even antique cabinets that fit the vintage style.
• When installing light fixtures, go for old lamp shades, an Aladdin lamp or headboards that match the home’s old-world charm. 
• Repaint white or faded cabinets to restore their appearance.
• Try doing up your rooms with open bookshelves and old books, antique iron beds and wicker furniture.
• You can always mix and match old and modern furniture to bring a historic-yet-upgraded look to the interiors of the house.

Flooring

• Thoroughly check the flooring of the house for any damage or cracks, to save whatever you can.
• Remove old hardwood flooring and refinish. This can help bring a shine to the floors.
• Change the flooring of the bathroom.
• Placing carpets on the floor can sometimes help cover up small damages.

 Walls and windows

• Replace damaged walls with dry walls as they are less prone to crumbling and cracking when compared to plaster walls.
• You can paint your walls with vibrant colors for a modern look. You can also paint the cabinets and walls in shades of yellow, red or green for a real farmhouse vibe.
• The exteriors of the house can be painted a combination of white and black, for a traditional look.
• Enlarge the windows while renovating the house. Larger windows will let you experience the garden’s ambience from the inside.
