Decorating with Vintage Finds

Decorating with vintage decor adds personality, charm and character to homes. Homeowners can easily add vintage styles to homes with the following helpful design tips.

Collections – Display collections together, as this creates a cohesive, reoccurring theme throughout homes. These types of displays work excellent for vases, photo galleries, tea collections or antique plates.

Displays – Display favorite accessories on bookshelves. Unique accessories can include bookends, antique books, bowls and vintage cameras.

Colors – Coordinate colors that add balance and harmony to homes. Homeowners can coordinate wood furniture, upholstery textures, floor lamps and large artwork for a cohesive, flowing design.

Wall Space – Embrace wall space for displays, as this takes up very little room. Add vintage, weathered planks to walls for immediate shelf space. Consider arranging vintage figurines, first-edition books, antique pictures and vases on these ledges.

Mix – Today’s reproductions are easier to find and more durable than some antique models. Embrace new and old pieces to achieve a mixed look that is attractive and unique. The Oval and Round Mirror Store features a wide assortment of wall mirrors, including vintage mirrors. Expert artisans that have used the same techniques for several hundred years handcraft these designs.

Repurpose – For budget-friendly home decor, consider purchasing outdated colors and repainting them with modern, vintage tones for a one-of-a-kind, eclectic look.

Double Duty – Furniture that pulls double duty is extremely practical for modern decor trends. Hutches can serve as storage, as well as offering attractive displays for plants or bottle collections.

Focal Point – Adding a unique, antique focal point helps define spaces and generates visual interest.

Art – Architectural elements, such as antique built-ins can easily be renovated into personal presentation areas, combining accessories with home’s unique architectural theme.

History – Display family memorabilia in an artful arrangement, which adds a personal touch to any home.

Layers – Embrace layers throughout home design. Blend white comforters with blankets, afghans and textured pillows for a chic, designer touch.

Elements – Mix metal furniture to add a vintage industrial appearance to home decor. Old metal snack racks are perfect for displaying vintage postcards, family photos and greeting cards.
