Do you prefer the distressed and weathered over the glossy and new? Decorating with vintage pieces doesn't necessarily mean creating a traditional home design. Vintage style often draws from several eras resulting in an eclectic look. Antique furniture and vintage home accessories can be used strikingly in modern home design.
This contemporary bedroom uses a few vintage pieces for maximum design impact in an otherwise clean and sleek space.
With one or two unexpected vintage accessories, you can transform a room. Vintage accessories spark conversation and stories. When each piece is allowed to stand on its own, a big impact can be created. In this space, the neutral color palette enhances the uncluttered aesthetic. Visual interest is created by juxtapositioning the overscale modern wall treatment and neutral palette with the careful positioning of vintage pieces.
Despite the abundance of antique elements, this bedroom feels fresh and current by going easy on the color scheme and keeping the room spare. A lot of color and wood tones give the feeling of busyness and clutter, a common complaint of country decor.
This vintage doorknob was created by With A Twist, another Northwest based company. With A Twist, created and founded by Cheree Swem and Jill Anderson, salvages materials from historic buildings, old schools and churches from all around the Northwest to create original handmade pieces. Their products can be purchased on Etsy.
Not only can meaningful, beautiful antiques blend with a variety of design schemes, but vintage elements can be adapted to serve new and imaginative purposes.
