Creative Ways To Incorporate Antiques Into Your Home Décor
People love buying antiques for many reasons. However, it may seem challenging to find ways to incorporate the old-school style with your modern décor. It’s actually easier than y’all may think. I’ve pulled together creative ideas to incorporate antiques into your home décor.
Choose Room Themes
Give each room a specific theme and use the antiques that fit them. For example, you can dedicate the office to an old-school drugstore theme. Place all the trinkets on wall shelving and hang fitting signs around the room. Y’all will smile each time you walk into the office.
I think it’s also fun to center your themes around a specific year. Transform the basement into a 1950s soda shop with a jukebox, Coca-Cola signs, funky chairs, and retro records. Everyone will love hanging out and admiring the displayed antiques.
Combine Old-School and New-School Elements
You don’t have to purchase all new furniture for your home; you can blend old-school antiques with new-school furniture. Use an antique dresser as a television stand. Find vintage end tables to match your new bed.
Gone are the days when all the furniture items in your home must match. Remember that the wood shades need to blend and fit within the style of the space.
Turn Vintage Doors Into a Headboard
Are you looking for a creative and unique headboard for your bed? If so, I recommend using antique doors for a warm, rustic look. Paint the doors to match your room’s color scheme. If you’re artistic, feel free to paint your own touches onto the doors, such as flowers or stripes.
Create a Gallery Wall With Vintage Décor
This idea is perfect if you have lots of antique family photos to display. I love to find vintage frames for my black-and-white pictures to drive home the old-school look. Surround the images with other antique items like plates, sconces, mirrors, business signs, and more. It’s a creative way to display your favorite antique pieces as part of your home décor.
And just like that, you can decorate your home with your favorite antiques! Of course, you can always redecorate as you collect more and more pieces. Happy decorating, y’all!
