Start Small Vintage decor is a timeless design that adds character and charm to any space. The appeal of these items differentiates them from modern, mass-produced fads which quickly go out of style. A simple method to incorporate vintage elements into your existing space is through vintage or thrift store finds. From an old gas bottle vase as an eye-catching centerpiece to upcycling wooden crates into tables - antique accents add homes a feel of past and personalization.
Vintage style can be created using various materials, from sanded wood and pottery to textiles woven from yarn and thread. Look for pieces with rich patinas that bring back memories of past times (e.g. dusk blue, pistachio or other shades that are associated with 1950s décor).
You can create a vintage look by choosing storage solutions such as an apothecary cabinet for your entryway, to keep coats and shoes organized while adding visual attraction. You can also use old lockers for sideboard storage in the dining room's sideboard. You can also put another set in your bedroom to create additional shelves for clothing and books.
Begin with small decorating ideas using vintage accessories; then build your collection over time. Visit local antique shops, garage sales, flea markets and online marketplaces as well as local buy-sell groups for distinctive items that create character, and antique furniture or accessories to complement your existing space.
Mix and Mix Mixing modern with vintage decor is an enjoyable method to create a unique home. Utilize antiques from the flea market, furniture pieces or family heirlooms in your decor to add authenticity and a sense of history. Combining new and old pieces of furniture, accessories and art together gives your space its own distinctive aesthetic that expresses the person you are as a person.
When incorporating vintage pieces into modern furnishings choose pieces that are in harmony with the existing furniture in shape, color or design. For instance, combine a modern glass coffee table with a wooden vintage side table for an eye-catching contrast of materials and shapes. Mixing wood tones is easy to do: warm and cool woods usually work well.
Mirrors, accent pieces and lamps can be added to vintage-modern decor with ease, since they can be easily swapped when your tastes change with time. Modern touches like books or clocks can also bring personality to the space.
When choosing vintage furniture and accents for your room, ensure that their size is in line with that of modern pieces. A large or oversized vintage piece may overpower modern furniture and create an unnatural atmosphere. Mismatched vintage dressers, paired with similar-sized modern nightstands can make for a fascinating visual contrast choosing similar finishes like natural or rustic can aid in the process.

Wooden furniture with intricate designs, botanical wallpapers, antique artwork pieces, Persian rugs and tribal designs instantly give a room a feel of nostalgia and give the space a classic appeal.
