Industrial Vintage Vibe
Vintage inspired home décor allows for an interesting mix materials that aren’t typically used to decorate. The trendy combination of industrial grouped light bulb fixtures and an array of candleholders with features like an antique chest or a vintage bicycle adds real character and personality to a room.
Country vs. Classical
Creating a vintage inspired home or room gives you the opportunity to mix different interior design styles and achieve an interesting result every time. Shabby Chic decor has been a big trend amongst interiors designers in recent years likely due to the cosy homely atmosphere it creates. If you like Shabby Chic decor or have already implemented some shabby chic elements in your home why not mix it up a little and create a blended classic vibe. This hallway is great example; showcasing a welcoming antique sideboard with a framed distressed mirror, china pieces, plaid printed lampshades against a classic bright white door frame.
Retro Vintage Ideas
Channel some radiance into your space by implement the colourful retro side of vintage decor. Let geometric patterns flow in and add bold and vibrant colours such as red, orange, yellow, green and blue. If this is too much colour for you why not create a canvas of black and white walls and moldings and bring through bright retro elements through fabrics, table decorations or one off pieces of furniture.
Vintage Chic Living Room
Give your home a modern chic twist by using pastel-coloured tufted sofas, classical gilded wall art or mirrors and bold striped curtains. Get your DIY hat on and paint vintage furniture white to keep a crisp classic feel throughout the room. Neutralize the bold elements with a plain white floor and light coloured walls.
Raw Vintage Home Decor
Go for a simplistic approach to your vintage inspired home that doesn’t require too much intervention. Showcase vintage objects together with wooden furniture for a warm and nostalgic aura. Keep it minimal with light coloured walls to focus attention on the vintage atmosphere through accessories and smaller decor features such as lighting.
