5 clever ways to mix modern furniture with vintage looks

Here at Dovetailors we have a real passion for interiors that are inspired by some of the great design periods of our time, yet have been created with modern living in mind.

That mix of practicality and style epitomises the way we design and make everything – it needs to look amazing but it has to be built with purpose and durability in mind.

Here are a few examples from our portfolio that demonstrate perfectly how modern life and vintage style can work beautifully together.
