Vintage décor adds character and warmth into a room, giving it an authentic look. Be it flea market vases or furniture made from reclaimed wood from thrift or flea market stores, every piece tells a distinct story, while easily fitting into modern designs.

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

Wooden Stools

The designs of wooden stool are diverse from rustic designs to sleek contemporary designs. A lot of designers use recycled wood as their material of their choice, while others are exploring new uses for wood, like the molding and folding techniques to give their stools their own distinct design. Some of them fold and create fluid designs that elevate this traditional stool type.

If your stool made of wood has seen better days, consider giving it new life by repainting it or finishing it to give it a completely new look. Reupholstering your seat will help make it look more unique for your home! Begin by sanding it to reveal its original finish. Wipe it down with a damp cloth to eliminate dirt and dust prior to applying 2-3 layers of painting (allow each to dry completely between coats if you are using metallic). Make sure you smooth the surface between each coat of paint in order to remove any marks left by brush!

Blankets

Blanket material is another essential consideration when selecting a blanket. There are a variety of options to choose from, including acrylic, wool, cotton and fleece choices. Cotton blankets are very popular and come with various patterns and colors to match any decor style; additionally they allow for breathability, while feeling soft against your skin. Additionally, there are soft blankets made from chenille material that can will give your home a luxurious aesthetic.

Quilts are a great choice to add comfort to your bedroom, featuring three layers comprising front, middle and back fabric with wool, cotton, or polyester fill. Designs made by hand often feature intricate stitching patterns for added appeal - ideal for enhancing the look of your bedroom!

Accessories

Remixing vintage decor with contemporary pieces can be an artful project that produces truly unique spaces that express your personal style. It is important to mix recycled items with contemporary pieces with a similar theme - such as the use of an antique Chinese garden stool to use for coffee tables, or even as artwork for your walls!

When choosing vintage home decor take note of the color scheme. A majority of antique pieces feature soft pastels, earthy tones and faded shades that create a cozy environment. Modern colors can also be integrated into vintage designs, for example combining a wooden dressers painted whitewashed or a buffet with a red and blue patterns can create an appealing balance.

Add vintage flair to your home with DIY projects or upcycled objects into it. It can provide authenticity and individuality to your home, like turning an old trunk or suitcase into a coffee table for your living room, creating DIY wall art yourself or transforming an old frame into decorative storage solutions.

Furniture

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

Modern design was introduced in the 1930s and has experienced a revival of popularity in the years since. With its clean lines and geometric forms, modern is easy to incorporate into many interior design styles.

You can create a modern-vintage design by picking the appropriate furniture, accessories, and color palette. To keep things looking contemporary and vintage all at the same time neutral shades are preferred over bold ones; natural materials like wool, leather and linen provide luxurious textures that give off the authentic vintage look.
