Vintage decor adds character and warmth into a room, giving it an old-fashioned look. Be it flea market vases or furniture made from reclaimed wood from thrift or flea market stores, each piece tells its own story, while easily being incorporated into contemporary designs.

Claire Staszak of Centered by Design recommends beginning small when decorating with antique styles. She advises 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 their material of choice, whereas others experiment with new ways to use wooden materials like folding and molding techniques that give their stool their distinct style. Some even fold and mold into fluid shapes which elevate the classic stool design.

If your wooden stool has seen better days think about giving it a new life by repainting it or finishing it to give it a completely new appearance. Reupholstering its seat can 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). Finally, be sure to sand in between coats of metallic paint in order to eliminate brushmarks!

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 style of decor. Additionally, they provide breathability while still comfortable to the skin. Alternatively, there are silky feeling blankets made of chenille fabrics that will give your home a luxurious aesthetic.

Quilts are another option for adding comfort to any bedroom. They come with three layers comprising front, middle and back, all made of wool, cotton, and polyester filled. Handmade designs often boast intricate stitching patterns that add character - perfect for enhancing the look of your bedroom!

Accessories

Remixing vintage decor with contemporary pieces is an exciting challenge that yields truly distinctive rooms that reflect your individuality. It is important to mix recycled items with contemporary pieces with a similar design - like the use of an antique Chinese garden stool for coffee tables, or even as artwork for your walls!

When you are choosing antique home furnishings Be aware of the color scheme. A majority of antique pieces feature soft pastels, earth tones, and faded shades that create a cozy space. Modern colors can also be incorporated into old-fashioned designs - for instance pairing the whitewashed dresser or buffet with blue and red patterns can create an appealing balance.

Add vintage flair to your home by incorporating DIY projects or upcycled objects into it. Doing this can add authenticity and personalization, such as making an old trunk or suitcase into an end table for your living space, or creating DIY wall art by yourself, or turning the frame of an older one into a decorative storage solutions.

Furniture

Integrating vintage decor into your home is best achieved through mixing it with contemporary designs to create a timeless and universally appealing style. Be careful not to go overboard as too much vintage can overpower and make the room look outdated.

Modern design first made its debut in the 1930s and has experienced a revival of popularity since. With its clean lines and geometric forms modern design is easy to incorporate into most interior design styles.

You can create a modern-vintage design by picking the appropriate furniture, accessories, and color palette. To ensure that your home looks both vintage and modern neutral colors should be chosen over bold hues; natural materials like wool, leather and linen provide rich textures that create an authentic vintage feel.
