Vintage decor brings the character and warmth to the space, giving it an authentic look. Be it flea market vases or furniture pieces made of reclaimed wood from thrift or flea market stores, every piece tells a distinct tale while easily fitting into modern designs.

Claire Staszak of Centered by Design recommends beginning small when decorating with vintage styles, advising shoppers to start by shopping at thrift stores, garage sales and antique stores for smaller accessories.

Wooden Stools

Wooden stool designs range widely from rustic designs to modern and sleek designs. Many designers utilize recycled wood as the material of choice, whereas others explore new uses of wooden materials like folding and molding techniques that give their stools their distinct style. Some even fold and mold into fluid shapes that elevate this traditional stool design.

If your stool made of wood is in need of a refresh think about giving it a new life by repainting it or finishing it to give it a completely new look. Reupholstering the seat will further personalize the look of your home! Begin by sanding the surface to expose the original finish. Then, wipe it clean with a damp cloth to eliminate dirt and dust before applying 2-3 coats of color (allow each to dry completely between applications if you're using metallic). Make sure you sand in between each coat of paint in order to remove any marks left by brush!

Blankets

Blanket materials are another important factor to consider when choosing a blanket. There are a variety of options to choose from, including wool, acrylic, and fleece choices. Cotton blankets are very popular and are available in a variety of designs and colors that can be matched to any decor style; additionally they are breathable while comfortable against your skin. There are also luxuriously soft blankets made of chenille fabric which give your home an luxurious aesthetic.

Quilts are another option for adding comfort to any bedroom. They come with three layers of front, middle and back, all made of wool, cotton or polyester fill. The hand-made designs usually feature intricate stitching patterns to add appeal - ideal for personalizing each bedroom space!

Accessories

Mixing vintage decor with contemporary pieces is an exciting project that produces truly unique rooms that reflect your individuality. The trick is to mix salvaged items with new pieces that share a similar concept - for instance, using an antique Chinese garden stool to use for coffee tables or as artwork for your walls!

When choosing vintage home decor, be mindful of the color scheme. A lot of vintage items are adorned with soft pastels, earth tones and faded hues that create a welcoming space. Modern colors can also be incorporated into old-fashioned styles, such as pairing a whitewashed wood dresser or painted buffet with blue and red patterns to create an attractive balance.

Bring a vintage feel to your home by including DIY projects and upcycled items into it. Doing this can add authenticity and individuality to your home, like turning an old suitcase or trunk into an end table for your living room, crafting your own wall art or transforming frames from the past into decorative storage solutions.

Furniture

The idea of incorporating vintage decor into your home can be achieved by mixing it with contemporary designs that create a timeless, universally appealing style. Just be wary not to overload the space as too much vintage can overwhelm and date the space.

Modern design appeared in the 1930s, and has experienced a revival of popularity since. It is characterized by sleek lines and geometric designs, modern is easy to incorporate into most interior design styles.

You can create a modern-vintage design by picking the appropriate furniture, accessories and colors. To keep things looking contemporary and vintage all at the same time neutral shades should be chosen over bold ones; natural textures like leather, wool and linen create luxurious textures that give off an authentic vintage feel.
