Tips for Decorating with Antiques

Start with a Statement Piece
A vintage mirror, an ornate chandelier, or an antique dining table can serve as a focal point and set the tone for your space.
Mix Old and New
Blend antiques with modern furniture for a balanced, eclectic look. This contrast creates visual interest while keeping your space current.
Focus on Functionality
Consider how each piece will be used. For example, a vintage chest can double as stylish storage, or antique jars can be repurposed as vases or utensil holders.
Embrace Patina and Imperfections
The wear and tear on antiques often tell a story and add to their charm. Don’t shy away from items with a bit of character—they’re what make the piece authentic.
Shop with a Theme in Mind
Whether you love the elegance of Victorian style, the simplicity of farmhouse decor, or the whimsy of retro collectibles, having a theme will help guide your purchases.
