Blending Vintage and Modern Design
Deciding on a design aesthetic for your space can be a daunting task, the smallest decisions often wildly overwhelming. Do you choose a more modern palette, or try a vintage vibe? What if you didn’t have to decide on one or the other! Combining modern styles with vintage design is a great way to create a seamless blend of your favorite design styles without compromising. Remember, the devil is in the details, and overthinking your style is stopping you from expressing your creativity and creating the space of your dreams! Here are our favorite tips and tricks for mixing vintage and modern design styles in your space:
Vintage Furniture
Use vintage furniture pieces like a mid-century modern sofa or antique wooden armchairs and pair them with sleek, minimalist modern elements such as open floor plans and neutral colors.
Vintage Textiles & Modern Materials
Blend vintage textiles like velvet or woven rugs with modern materials such as concrete, glass, or metal.
All About The Lighting
Vintage lighting (like chandeliers, sconces, or vintage Edison bulbs) can easily be paired with modern designs like bright color pops and geometric patterns.
Modern Art
Pair vintage furniture with striking modern artwork or a feature wall that uses contemporary design.
Vintage Patterns Meet Modern Minimalism
Combine vintage-inspired floral, damask, or geometric patterns with modern, clean-lined furniture and décor of the modern minimalistic aesthetic.
Urban Design Meets Cozy Charm
Industrial design is very much about raw materials, clean lines, and modernity, while vintage decor brings warmth and charm. Combining these elements creates a space that feels both urban and cozy.
Decorating Around Furniture
A contemporary, high-end piece of furniture can serve as the focal point of a room, while vintage accessories (such as framed family photos, antique vases, or old books) can bring character and warmth to the space.
