Decorating your home can be tough especially if you have a lot of ideas about how things should turn out. If you want to create a unique and simple feel for your home, then it might be time to consider looking at vintage furniture and decor as this adds both depth and personality to your home.
While modern era decor is good on its own already, nothing beats the appeal of having antique decor inside your home. Of course, this doesn’t mean that your home should be filled with vintage decor from top-to-bottom. It would be a wise idea to pick from these options though.
Vintage Cookware
Nothing beats having good and durable cookware inside your kitchen. There aren’t many types of cookware that can stand the test of time but if you’re looking for such things, consider getting cast-iron cookware. Aside from being great to cook with, cast-irons are also durable and they offer a touch of personality to your kitchen.
A good way to display cookware like these is to invest in an overhead kitchen rack. This is a trendy style to organize your kitchen nowadays as it allows you to show off your cooking gear neatly. However, keep in mind that overhead kitchen racks are only good if you have a lot of vertical room in your kitchen.
While cast-iron pots and skillets are indeed great to cook with, you need to understand how to maintain them first. These things can rust over time. Aside from that, you’ll need to season the skillet regularly so that it maintains a good non-stick surface.
Vinyl Players
For decades, record players have been off homes and were only found in garage sales and other vintage stores. However, today’s generation has taken a liking to these old-time music players and it’s not very easy to score yourself an old recorder online.
There are some record players that have been given the modern look. However, record player buffs at Top Record Players say that you can still easily find some classic recorders even today. Thanks to the newfound popularity of these players, however, an old recorder will be more than just a design option.
You can also easily buy vinyl records to play as well. Even today’s modern albums from new era musicians are being turned into vinyl records so there’s always something to play on your recorder. It’s a good investment that benefits both your home’s decor and your music listening experience.
Grandfather Clocks
Have grandfather clocks really gone out of style? In terms of giving your home some antique vibes, there’s no other furniture that does it best than the classic grandfather clock. It’s a good set-piece to finish your living room with but it can also be a good addition to most parts of the house.
Old grandfather clocks are large and bulky which is why people don’t always think about getting them. However, newer models of grandfather clocks are more compact but it still keeps the traditional look of the furniture. Adding this to your home gives it a deeper accent so make sure to consider getting it for extra style points.
Old Artwork With Vintage Frames
Having paintings around the house is always a good way to spruce up the decor. You can add a nice antique touch to your home by going for vintage paintings as well. There’s nothing wrong with modern and contemporary art but vintage paintings certainly make homes feel more rustic and unique.
A good rule when getting paintings for your home is to get a good frame to go with it as well. Some people mix and match generations by using antique frames over modern or contemporary art. This is a unique way to display paintings and it gives your artwork a lot more value as well.
When looking for old classical art, be prepared to pay quite a sum as these are usually very expensive.
Patio Vintage Furniture
Having a patio is already a big advantage enough when it comes to making your home feel more unique. If vintage furniture and decor don’t fit well with the interior of your home, then you should consider turning your patio into a completely different world by giving it classical pieces.
Patios are places where you, your family, and guests could hang out. Make the experience more comfortable by adding vintage chairs and tables on the patio area. This is a good way to spruce up your patio as it adds a certain sophistication to it.
You can even hang a hammock on your patio as well. Hammocks are often considered as a type of vintage furniture but other than that, they are a great and unique addition to your home.
Vintage Dining Sets
Heading back to the kitchen once more, you might want to consider investing in vintage chairs and tables for the dining area. This is a good way to maintain classic and simple vibes for the dining room while giving your kitchen a durable dining set to use for years.
Vintage tables and chairs as dining equipment are all going to be great additions not just because of their style. If you pick one that’s made out of hardwood, you’ll be having a dining set that can last you for decades inside the house. More people are going vintage when it comes to the way that they eat.
Keep in mind that since this is such a large piece of vintage furniture for your home, it can steal the show from the rest of your stuff inside the dining area. That wouldn’t be such a bad idea though, especially if you are going for a rustic and vintage appeal for your home.
Don’t be afraid of exploring vintage decor inside your home. While old, that doesn’t necessarily mean that pieces of furniture and decor like this won’t fit your home anymore. In fact, with proper placement and good coordination between your decor, vintage pieces are going to outside your modern decor easily.
