The vintage aesthetic will transport you to another era. Do you wish to decorate your bedroom
so it has a vintage feel? Vintage bedroom décor is a great way to bring traditional and nostalgic
features into your house. It’s a distinctive kind of design that many adore and it can be easy to
combine with your existing décor and furniture. Read on to find out more tips on how to
introduce the long-gone era into your bedroom.
Embrace dark accents
Dark wood tones or paint cover many antiques. If you have a tiny bedroom, the contrast
between the dark-colored objects and white walls might make the space appear even smaller.
This is why it’s best to choose dark wall colors and allow your antique furniture pieces to
provide the old-fashioned yet stylish feel you’re going for. As a result, the darker antiques will
become a more integrated part of the space. Opt for antique bed frames, dressers, and
armoires made of dark wood such as walnut, mahogany, or teak. You can also only paint one of
your walls with jewel-toned paint or install dark wallpaper to make these pieces not look out of
place in your bedroom.
Visit antique stores and flea markets
If you want an authentic feel to your bedroom, it is best to decorate it with actual antiques. Visit
your local antique store or a flea market to discover what gems you might unearth. You don’t
always have to use the pieces you find in the way they are intended to be used. You might use
an old desk as a dressing table! Vintage-style prints can be framed and find their new home on
your bedroom walls. Garage sales are also an amazing place to get vintage items for a
reasonable price. Retro room décor is easily created with a bit of imagination and multiple trips
to yard sales.
Introduce vintage miscellaneous items
An antique lampshade fashioned to look like it came from a specific era might be a nice addition to a bedside table. Beautiful vintage golden frames will make your pictures look like Victorian paintings. Another idea would be to introduce some beautiful vintage-inspired pillows to your space designed by a top fashion illustrator. Fashion-inspired vintage prints will make your sleeping area look more cohesive. Covering your bed with multiple pillows will also instill a cozy look which is always the goal when you’re decorating a bedroom.
Get dourself a dressing table
A dressing table is an essential element of antique bedrooms. Make sure to find a place for it in your bedroom. Vintage dressing tables can look pretty different depending on the period they’ve been designed in, so be careful it’s cohesive with the rest of your room. For example, a majestic Victorian wooden design will look out of place in a 1950s-inspired room. Dressing tables are great for displaying your cherished knick-knacks, fragrances, photo frames, and makeup. Another way to add some more vintage flair to your room is to find an antique clothes mannequin and set it onto your new makeup table. They add a vintage feel and are great for storing your jewelry and hats. This will undoubtedly lend a touch of old-fashioned opulence to any bedroom.
It can be difficult to decorate your room with a specific aesthetic in mind but if you follow our
above-mentioned tips, your room will have a cohesive vintage look. Visiting flea markets and
yard sales on a regular basis in search of appropriate vintage items should become a part of
your weekend routine. Using your imagination and covering your walls in dark colors will make
your room appear more appropriate for the era you’re going for. Soft and decadent pillows
should be on your bed, while a dressing table can be the focal point of any vintage room.
