“One good design rule to have in each room is to add something vintage,” Jasmine Roth says on her website. To make it easy to follow this rule, choose to add one vintage painting or piece of wall art to every room. These are easy to scout for at your nearest thrift store because they’re almost always in stock and, just like the other items on this list, have lots of versatility when it comes to sprucing them up. You could revitalize vintage art by painting the frame, especially if it’s made out of untouched wood. This is an easy way to update the piece while tying in other colors from your room. Or, if you find a frame that sports the typical golden edge of the past, use that to add a shiny design element.

If you don’t see any artwork you like around the store, one expert tip is to stay consistent with your visits. Stores like Goodwill are constantly receiving new items, so it might take a few trips before you find a painting that speaks to you. A hack to keep in mind when it comes to vintage painting or art from Goodwill is to use the frame for your own creation. Remove the canvas or image inside the frame to showcase your own art instead, if desired.
