But why should you buy vintage furniture?
Save money
An obvious reason is that you can save large sums on shopping for vintage furniture. For a budget of $500 to $1,000, you can get a couch in good condition, which both looks attractive and was designed by meticulous and skilled craftsmen. Compare high quality sofas here with new wear-and-tear variants that you are guaranteed to throw away in a few years.
Sustainability
The world’s environmental problems are real and unless everyone takes responsibility, the earth will be difficult to live on, especially for those who are young today. An effective way to avoid environmental impact is to buy vintage furniture to reduce the carbon footprint.
The design
Of course, buying iconic furniture for less is a win. But it is also a good investment- these objects have long been selected and praised. Danish design sounds better than made in China, right?
Originality:
A sofa that was created 50 years ago is guaranteed to be more unusual than the mass products found in low-price chain stores today. If you want to be unique, vintage is your best bet.
It’s about you:
When you least expect it, objects that serve as reminders of your past will come up. Maybe you will find a vase that your grandmother always had geraniums in or the sofa you had in your first home. By looking through Barnebys, we promise you will find objects that you have a personal connection to, even if you haven’t thought about them for the past 20 years.
Instant Love:
A big part of shopping vintage is to follow one’s gut feeling. Scroll through all the objects available on Barnebys and we promise that magic will occur. When you least expect it, inspiration will strike. Something you just have to have is just a click away.
