Vintage Interior Designs | Antique & Characterful Home Ideas
Vintage design is about "character." It is a style that refuses to be boring. Every piece in a vintage room has a history—a previous life that it brings into your home. It’s a soulful, sustainable way of decorating.
The key is "curation." You don’t want a room full of old things; you want a room full of *interesting* things. By mixing eras and styles, you create a space that feels deeply personal and completely unique.

Items that are between 20 and 100 years old (older than 100 is "antique").
Mix vintage items with modern furniture to keep the room from looking like a museum.
Flea markets, estate sales, and antique shops are the best sources.
Look for solid wood construction and dovetail joints; avoid mass-produced vintage-style items.
Muted, "aged" colors: cream, sepia, dusty rose, and sage green.
It can be! Thrifting allows you to find high-quality, unique pieces for much less than new furniture.
