Vintage decor adds authenticity and warmth to the space, giving it a lived-in aesthetic. It could be vases from flea markets or reclaimed wood furniture pieces from flea markets or thrift stores, each piece tells a unique story, while easily adapting to modern styles.

Claire Staszak of Centered by Design recommends beginning small when decorating with vintage designs, and suggests consumers to begin by going to garage sales, thrift stores and antique shops for small accessories.

Wooden Stools

Wooden stool designs range widely from traditional pieces to sleek contemporary designs. Many designers utilize recycled wood as the material of their choice, while others experiment with new ways to use wood materials, such as molding and folding techniques that give their stools their distinctive style. Some even fold and mold to form fluid designs that elevate this traditional stool type.

If your wooden stool has seen better days think about giving it a fresh new life by repainting or making it new for a totally new appearance. Reupholstering the seat will further customize its look for your home! Start by sanding its surface to expose the original finish; wipe down with damp cloth to remove dirt and dust before applying three coats of paint (allow each to fully dry between applications if you're using metallic). Make sure you sand in the paint between layers of metal in order to eliminate brushmarks!

Blankets

Blanket material is another essential factor to consider when choosing the right 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 style of decor. Additionally, they are breathable while being soft to the skin. Alternatively, there are luxuriously soft blankets made of chenille material that can give your home an elegant look.

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

Accessories

Mixing vintage decor with contemporary pieces is an exciting task that can result in truly unique rooms that reflect your individuality. It is important to mix old pieces with new ones that have a common design - like making use of an antique Chinese garden stool for coffee tables or as wall art!

When selecting vintage home accessories, be mindful of their color palette. Many vintage pieces boast soft pastels, earth tones, and faded hues that create a welcoming space. Modern colors can also be integrated into vintage designs - for instance pairing wooden dressers painted whitewashed or a buffet with blue and red patterns to create an appealing balance.

Add vintage flair to your home by including DIY projects or upcycled objects into it. Doing this can add authenticity and individuality to your home, like the transformation of an old trunk or suitcase into a table to end your living room, creating your own wall art or turning the frame of an older one into a decorative storage solutions.

Furniture

The idea of incorporating vintage decor into your home is easiest when you mix it with contemporary styles to create a timeless and generally appealing design. But be careful not to overdo it because too much vintage could overwhelm and date the space.

Modern design first was introduced in the 1930s, and has experienced a revival of popularity in the years since. With its clean lines and geometric shapes, modern is easy to incorporate into most decor styles in the home.

Create a contemporary-vintage look by selecting the right furniture, accessories and the color scheme. For a look that is modern and vintage at once neutral shades should be preferred over bold hues; natural textures such as wool, leather and linen add luxurious textures that give off the authentic vintage look.
