Start Small

Vintage decor is a timeless style that adds personality and charm to any room. The appeal of these items differentiates them from modern, mass-produced fads which quickly go out of style. A simple method to incorporate vintage into your space is by using antique or thrift store finds. An old gasoline can vase to create a striking centerpiece to upcycling wooden crates into coffee tables, vintage accessories give homes a feel of past while personalization.

Vintage looks can be made by using a variety of materials, ranging from distressed wood and ceramic pottery to textiles woven from thread and yarn. Choose pieces with rich patinas that evoke past eras (e.g. shades of dusk blue or pistachio that are associated with 1950s décor).

You can create a vintage look by choosing special storage solutions like an apothecary cabinet in your entryway to keep shoes and coats organized while also adding curiosity. Or use old lockers as sideboard storage for your sideboard in your dining room; then put another set in your bedroom as extra shelves to store books and clothing.

Shop at local antique shops, flea markets, garage sales and online marketplaces, or local buy-sell groups for distinctive items that add character and vintage furniture or accessories to complement your the existing decor.

Mix & Mix

Mixing modern and vintage decor is an enjoyable method to create a unique home. Use the finds from flea markets, salvaged architectural pieces or family heirlooms in your décor to create authenticity and a sense of history. Mixing old and new furniture, accessories and artwork together creates a space with an individual style that expresses the person you are as a person.

If you are planning to incorporate vintage furniture pieces into contemporary furnishings choose pieces that are in harmony with the pieces you already have in color, shape, or design. For example, match a contemporary white glass table and a wooden vintage side table for an eye-catching contrast of materials and shapes. Mixing wood tones is easy: cool and warm hued woods usually work well.

Mirrors, accent pieces and lamps can complement vintage-modern decor with ease, as they are easily interchangeable if your taste shifts over time. Modern accessories such as clocks or books also help bring personality to the space.

If you're considering antique furniture and accessories to your home, make sure the size of the furniture is comparable to that of modern pieces. An over-sized or large antique piece could overwhelm modern furniture and create an awkward atmosphere; mismatched vintage dressers paired with similarly-sized modern nightstands could create an interesting visual juxtaposition; selecting similar finishes like rustic or natural can aid in the process.

Accessories

Vintage décor is a fashionable style and there are plenty of options available to people who want to bring authenticity and a sense of time into their home. Ornate wooden furniture, botanical wallpapers, artefacts from the past, Persian rugs and tribal patterns can instantly give any space a nostalgic feel and provide the room with an old-fashioned appeal.

The art of incorporating antique pieces in your home will require mixing them into your existing interiors rather than replacing everything all in one go. For example mixing items from flea markets and furniture salvaged from the past can create an eye-catching combination sure to spark conversations - plus this method promotes sustainability by reusing and repurposing pieces which could otherwise be put away.
