Vintage decor brings character and warmth into rooms, creating a lived-in aesthetic. It could be vases from flea markets or furniture made from reclaimed wood from thrift or flea market stores, each piece tells a unique story while seamlessly adapting to modern styles.

Claire Staszak of Centered by Design recommends beginning small when decorating with vintage styles, advising customers to begin by visiting at thrift stores, garage sales and antique shops for small accessories.

Wooden Stools

The styles of wooden stool can vary from traditional pieces to sleek contemporary designs. Many designers employ recycled wood as the material of their choice, while others are exploring new uses for wood materials, such as the molding and folding techniques to give their stools their distinctive design. Some fold and then mold to form fluid designs which elevate the classic stool style.

If your stool made of wood has seen better times think about giving it a new life by repainting or making it new for a totally different appearance. Reupholstering your seat will help customize its look for your home! Begin by sanding it to expose its original finish. Wipe it down with a damp cloth to eliminate dust and dirt before applying 3-4 layers of painting (allow each to fully dry between coats if you are using metallic). Make sure you smooth the surface between each coat of paint in order to get rid of brush marks!

Blankets

Blanket materials are another important consideration when selecting a blanket. There are a variety of options to choose from, including wool, acrylic, cotton and fleece options. Cotton blankets are the most sought-after and come with various designs and colors that can be matched to any style of decor. Additionally, they allow for breathability, while comfortable on your skin. There are also luxuriously soft blankets made of chenille material that can will give your home a luxurious aesthetic.

Quilts are another option to add comfort to your bedroom, featuring three layers: front, middle, and back fabric with wool, cotton, or polyester fill. Designs made by hand often feature intricate stitching patterns that add personality - ideal to personalize each bedroom!

Accessories

Remixing vintage decor with contemporary pieces can be an artful project that produces truly unique rooms that show your unique style. It is important to mix recycled items with contemporary pieces that share a similar concept - for instance, using an old Chinese garden stool for coffee tables, or even as artwork for your walls!

When choosing vintage home decor, be mindful of their color palette. A lot of vintage items are adorned with soft pastels, earth tones, and faded shades that create a warm environment. Modern colors can also be used in vintage designs, for example combining a wooden dressers painted whitewashed or a buffet with a red and blue patterned rug can give it an attractive balance.

Give a vintage look to your home by incorporating DIY projects or upcycled objects into it. This can give your home a unique look and personalization, such as the transformation of an old trunk or suitcase into a table to end your living space, or creating your own wall art or turning frames from the past into decorative storage solutions.

Furniture

Incorporating vintage decor into your home can be achieved by mixing it with contemporary styles that create a timeless, universally appealing aesthetic. But be careful not to overdo it since too much vintage may overwhelm and date the space.

Modern design first appeared in the 1930s, and has seen a return to popularity since. It is characterized by sleek lines and geometric shapes Modern design is simple to integrate into a variety of designs for the home.

You can create a modern-vintage design by choosing the appropriate furniture, accessories and the color scheme. To ensure that your home looks contemporary and vintage all at the same time neutral colors should be preferred over bright ones. Natural textures such as wool, leather and linen add rich textures that create that authentic vintage vibe.
