Just as fashion has a way of repeating itself, interior design trends are no different. A touch of vintage flair is always a welcomed addition to any space, if your goal is to create a whimsical, nostalgia-filled ambiance. Unlike modern sleek designs, vintage style adds warmth to any room. Here are a few ways you can easily bring vintage flair into your home.
- Small Details Make a Big Difference
It’s the little details that make a difference. Opt for vintage jars or bowls and display your beautiful jewellery pieces like your vintage pearl necklace or ornate bridal earrings as a way of adding that feminine vintage charm to a side table or credenza. Antique crates and chests are great ways to store items around the house, while that old brass mirror you found at the flea market would make a perfect finishing touch to your beauty table.
- Decorate With Antique Wall Art
Creating a gallery wall with a bunch of beautiful vintage pieces is the easiest way you can add antique charm to your home. Hit the flea markets around your area and dig for buried treasures, like old paintings that come in beautiful vintage frames. Besides being a perfect way to fill up an empty wall, decorating your space up with antique art will infuse some nostalgic flair into your home. Try adding unique vintage accessories, like an antique clock or a few old books, to complete your space.
- Add an Accent Piece of Vintage Furniture

A single piece of vintage furniture added to your living room can instantly transform the space and inject vintage flair into your home. Opt for a few mismatched mid-century chairs to complement your dining table or choose a wooden antique sideboard if you want just a hint of vintage style into your living room. If you like combining a more contemporary style with the charm of the old days, try placing a large piece of vintage furniture against a sleek modern wall for an eclectic juxtaposition.
- Use Vintage Colours
Aside from furniture, colours are another way to inject vintage flair into your home. If you're a vintage enthusiast and want to transform your home into an old-school heaven, try changing your colour palette. Although, the most common colours to use in a vintage-styled home include pale blue, pink, and orange, it's quite difficult to narrow it down to a couple of colour palettes. If you are not sure on where to start with your chromatic transformation, you could always use old magazines and paintings for inspiration.
- Use Iconic Vintage Pieces

A record player is probably the most recognisable vintage item out there. If you happen to stumble upon a functional one at your local flea market, you hit the jackpot. Besides being a unique décor piece, you can enjoy listening to old songs the way they were intended to be heard. Antique suitcases also make for great vintage accents, and you can find plenty of options at antique bazaars. Pick out a few different sizes, colours and styles and use them as tables or just as storage around the house.
