1. Picture frames
Polaroids and reel camera aesthetic have made a comeback and it’s here to stay. Old pictures that have been passed down through generations with captivating narratives can be used to create a gallery wall. Simple yet elegant neutral-coloured frames are the best choice for a vintage aesthete.
2. Furniture
Pure hardwood furniture pieces are the best representation of Indian tradition. Old couches, dressers, a chest of drawers or a four-poster bed can be a great addition to your collection of vintage furniture. It can also be revamped with a hint of modern designs with contemporary upholstery, prints and patterns.
3. Fabrics
Beautiful wall hangings, curtains, or cushions can be made by reusing and upcycling old Kanchivaram or Jamdhani silk saris, they can bring in the antique essence to the place. Slightly damaged fabrics can be pieced together to make a fabric mural that can be hung as a focal point on the wall or an heirloom patchwork quilt.
Last but not least, antique figurines, Brass lamps, antique porcelain trinket boxes, candle holders, ivory chess pieces, and handheld mirrors all make for great pieces to add to your living room. To get over all the overwhelming choice of today, vintage décor can be the best solution. It can add that feeling of warmth and character to your house.
