How to incorporate antiques into your decor
Whether it ’ s a vintage radio purchased from a local collector or an armoire that ’ s been in your family for generations , antique pieces can add charm and character to a home when properly showcased . Here are some tips to help you stylishly integrate vintage and antique furnishings with the rest of your decor .
Remember that less is more A space filled with antiques can easily look outdated rather than stylish . Ideally , you should limit yourself to two or three compelling pieces per room . This will allow you to highlight the unique furnishings and create an eclectic space that ’ s still pulled together .
Find creative ways to repurpose You can easily add intrigue to a room by giving new life to historical pieces . Rather than simply put these items on display , set up your great-grandmother ’ s sewing machine table as a desk or use an antique spinning wheel to support a climbing plant .
Don ’ t be afraid to dip into different eras If you respect the interior design principles of scale and proportion , you can mix and match pieces from different periods and achieve beautiful results . In fact , the striking contrast between modern , antique and vintage items can help bring a sense of balance to a space .
Ultimately , the key is to choose pieces you love and that reflect your personality . n
