How to give your home a vintage character

Vintage styles are in! From fashion to interior design, you can find vintage styles everywhere and we’re here for them all. The timeless nature of this trend ensures you’ll never go out of style when you incorporate vintage vibes into your life.

The home is one of the best places for you to integrate vintage character with each room having the potential to look great with it. Plus, making changes to your home and redecorating is known to boost your mental health too. 

On average, Brits will redecorate their home every 3-5 years too, so if your home is in need of an update and you want to boost your mood, then we have all the interior design ideas you need to turn your home into a vintage paradise. Read on to find out more about giving your home a vintage character below. 

Choose wall paint that lets your furniture flourish

The furniture and ornaments around your home will be the features that truly show off the vintage look, so you’ll want them to stand out. The easiest way to do that is to give your walls a neutral colour, so you have a blank canvas that can make your vintage items really stand out. We recommend whites or beiges for this with each offering a great look for your home. 

Invest in quality items

Vintage furniture can bring a high price tag, which may lead to you wanting to choose cheaper options that aren’t quite as good. However, we recommend paying the premium as expensive vintage furniture tends to have a better quality build that will be more durable and last longer. Do this with your sofas, tables or dining chairs to maximise the potential of your home.

Make it yours

This is your home and it should reflect your personal style, so filling the house with accessories is vital. Music lovers should get a vinyl record player with a vintage style to listen to music, art lovers should invest in vintage art pieces and bookworms could fill a bookshelf with old books that offer a unique look in rooms around the home.

Don’t be afraid to mix new and old items

To really get the most out of your vintage items, you could place them amongst modern appliances, furniture and accessories. This can help them stand out even more and give your home a distinctive look that blends contemporary and vintage items, which is a look that you may love.
