Start Small

Vintage decor is an everlasting design that adds character and charm to any room. The appeal of these distinctive items separates them from contemporary, mass-produced trends that quickly go out of style. One simple way to incorporate vintage into your space is by using the thrift or antique stores. For everything from an antique gas can vase as an eye-catching centerpiece to upcycling wooden crates into coffee tables - vintage accents give homes a feeling of the past while personalization.

Vintage style can be created by using a variety of materials, ranging from distressed wood and ceramic pottery to textiles woven from thread and yarn. Look for pieces with rich patinas that recall past times (e.g. shades of dusk blue or pistachio associated with 1950s decor).

You can create a vintage look by choosing storage solutions such as an apothecary cabinet for your foyer to organize coats and shoes while also adding curiosity. Use old lockers to create sideboard storage for your dining room's sideboard. You can also put another pair in your bedroom to create additional shelves to store books and clothing.

Start small when decorating with antique accents, and gradually increase your collection over time. Shop at local antique shops or flea markets, garage sales and online marketplaces as well as local buy-sell groups for unique items to add character and vintage furniture or accessories to complement your the space you have.

Mix & Mix

Mixing modern with vintage decor is an enjoyable way to create a diverse home. Utilize antiques from the flea market, architectural pieces or family heirlooms as part of your decor to add an authentic feel and history. Combining new and old furniture, accessories and artwork together creates a space with an individual style that represents the person you are as an individual.

When incorporating vintage pieces into modern furnishings pick pieces that match the pieces you already have in color, shape, or design. For example, pair a contemporary glass coffee table with a vintage wood side table for an eye-catching contrast of materials and shapes. Mixing the wood tones is simple: cool and warm hued woods usually work well.

Accent pieces such as mirrors and lamps can add modern-style decor easily, as they are easily interchangeable if your taste shifts over time. Contemporary accessories like books or clocks can also bring personality to the space.

When choosing vintage furniture and accents for your room, ensure their scale matches up with that of modern pieces. Large or overly sized vintage piece can overwhelm contemporary furniture and create an unnatural atmosphere. Mismatched vintage dressers, paired with similar-sized modern nightstands can result in a striking visual contrast choosing similar finishes like rustic or natural will help in this process as well.

Accessories

Vintage decor is an increasingly fashionable style and there are plenty of options for people who want to bring an authentic feel of the past in their home. Ornate wooden furniture, botanical wallpapers, old-fashioned art pieces, Persian rugs and tribal patterns can instantly give any room a feel of nostalgia and create the classic look.

The art of incorporating antique pieces in your home will require mixing them with your current decor instead of replacing everything at once. For example mixing antique accessories and salvaged furniture can make an eye-catching combination sure to bring people together. Additionally, this method promotes sustainability by reusing and repurposing pieces which might otherwise be put away.

One of the most ideal places to start shopping to find vintage decor is your local thrift shops, flea markets or even garage sales. Make sure you have cash since many sellers prefer to pay in cash and have an open mind - you never know what treasures may come your way!
