But before you start, we suggest that you begin with small steps as take a gradual journey of introducing vintage décor in your space.
Art
Art is the best way to transform your bare walls or empty shelves/tabletops into an interesting space.
Doesn’t matter if your art is from an antique shop or a flea market or your attic.
It should be something you resonate with; something that holds the attention of its viewers.
Ornately framed portraits, landscape paintings, and vintage photos or their paintings bring a sense of history and give you a chance to showcase your unique personality.
Especially, when a vintage painting is displayed right, it grabs the attention of its viewer and can harmonize the entire décor of the room.
Curate Your Own Time Transcending Wall of Memories
A space that will take you back to simpler times with black and whites, rustic gold borders, and the aging wood with a little chipped paint, telling an age-old story for those who behold them.
You can bring ornate mirrors and china to evoke the quintessential antique look that is perfect for any vintage-themed space.
These elements add personality to the room, especially when different items are clubbed together, with a mixed match arrangement.
This is also a great place to add an oil painting, the smell mixed with a modern light, fixed to the tune of not being able to place which era the room is from. The mix and match of era give it the perfect timelessness.
Even better if the painting is of a vintage photo, it could be of your parents and grandparents –here is a guide for you to convert your vintage photo into a portrait painting.
Refresh Your Living Room with Vintage Décor
Vintage finds don’t necessarily have to be bought; it could be something as simple as displaying your old books or including hand-woven furniture.
Vintage is all about raw beauty, from hand weaved furniture to textile decorations, you can include it all.
You can also add bold or floral prints to your wall, but be careful to not overdo it, choose one wall to where you would like to have them and leave the rest bare as they will be decorated with paintings and other antiques, or have various furniture like cabinets placed against them.
While you’re accessorizing your living room remember accessories should be considered a final touch to a room, not the critical piece to tie it all together.
