Using Vintage finds in your room design

Vintage style has become one of the hottest trends both in fashion and interior design.  Thanks to Restoration Hardware and Pottery Barn.  Whether it’s the old, unique furniture, retro accessories with an edgy flair, or the incredible ancient look of the patterned wallpapers; vintage means a modern aspect with a chic vibe.  How can you achieve this rather sentimental look?  Here are some basic tips on how to successfully decorate in vintage style.

  • Vintage decorating starts in an antique store, a garage sale or at the flea market. Here you can purchase furniture and different accessories that will help you create your dreamy vintage home.
  • The best thing about vintage decorating is that you can take old pieces and use them in a very creative way.  For example, a hatbox can be an ideal place to store your hair accessories, antique luggage pieces can become a simple, cute way to keep clothes or other items, stack them for an end table or under a sofa table.
  • Accessories represent one of the simplest methods to transform your boring home design into an inviting vintage place.  Vases, old pottery, lamps, chandeliers, and even an antique book can totally make a difference.  Use all your artistic skills and create real works of art with just a few postcards or letters.

Vintage means a relaxed, comfy, simple, and slightly imperfect style.  The best thing to do is to combine vintage with contemporary trends.  You can add some vintage accessories for a beautiful, one-of-a-kind impact.  The genuine vintage look means soft, delicate pastels or patterned wallpapers.
