How to Decorate With Antique Vintage Style

Introducing antique vintage style decorations to a home can add sophistication. You can keep it interesting by putting different eras in different rooms or leave it all in one decade style to feel immersed in a different time. There are numerous ways to bring antique style to the home.

1. Bring in antique furniture. This is first and foremost, antique furniture is what infuses the Victorian or Edwardian style to your home. You can buy vintage inspired pieces which, can be found at numerous furniture retailers, or you can buy true antiques. Vintage furniture does cost more, so it would be in best interest to find reproductions of fainting chairs, velvet couches, and stools.


2. Insert Vintage Décor. Use old style umbrella racks, antique message bottles, old figurines, teddy bears, and rust color vases. Victorian styled boxes can be placed around tables to add a bit of charm as well. 1800’s paintings and prints can be hung up around the house to add personality to bare walls. Apothecary jars with scented floral candles will bring in fresh smells to the home.


3. Paint your home with vintage colors. If you have modern wall paint such as white, beige, or a soft cream, you will need to repaint it to something warmer. A vintage style home should have a deep color such as a rusty red, maroon, royal purple, mulberry, or a navy blue. Emerald and sage hues will also work, just keep in mind the color has to be dark enough to create a dim setting for your furniture and decorations.
