What details to keep during the renovation of a vintage house

The historic houses are buildings of historical and architectural interest. Each has its own history and its unique style and value. To maintain and raise their value it is necessary to involve professionals. The renovation of a historic house is in fact able to modernize an ancient dwelling while respecting its original splendor. Read on to find out what details it is good to keep in the renovation of a vintage house not to lose its historical and artistic charm.


Enhancement of the mood of the house

The renovation of a vintage house is not at all comparable to that of a recent house. This is because the goal is not only to reorganize environments or change the style, but much more. This type of restructuring consists mainly in:

  1. enhance the mood of the house without distorting it, trying to combine antiquity and modernity;

  2. Improve energy efficiency;

  3. Upgrade and bring to standard;

  4. Optimize the spaces.


To renovate an old house it is necessary to rely on experts in the field who know how to assess which elements of the house to change and which to leave intact. There are in fact typical components of the old houses that it is better not to touch during the works. This is because modifying them would risk losing the original beauty of the building. Examples of details to be preserved during the renovation of a period house are:

  1. wooden branches; and

  2. Good flooring;

  3. frescoes;

  4. parietal panels;

  5. Exterior facade decorations;

  6. chimneys.


Some of these elements, if not in optimal condition, can be restored to preserve their original appearance. Let’s think of a fresco, for example, losing such an artistic heirloom would be a real shame. By relying on our experts you can carry out a complete restoration of the frescoes, thus enhancing the facades of your historic home. In some cases, for design reasons, you cannot keep certain items in their original position. They could then be moved from their original location to be better exploited in another room.


In the renovation of a vintage house must therefore have as its ultimate objective to improve the house, The European Commission has recently published a study on the role of the European Union in the field of education and training. For more than 60 years we at Petazzi Costruzioni have been working to give new life to historic buildings. Take a look at our website to learn more and discover the work we have already done.
