Blame it on the growing popularity of classic d\u00e9cor inspired by <em>Great Gatsby<\/em>, <em>The Great Budapest Hotel<\/em>, or <em>Am\u00e9lie<\/em>, but retro glam is here to stay. Still, vintage finds should be carefully incorporated into a contemporary home to avoid a haphazardly put-together impression. However chic mix-and-match d\u00e9cors may be, there are a few principles you should bear in mind when enriching your home with finds belonging to different design eras. Here are five home styling tricks professional designers follow when introducing vintage elements into a modern home setting.<\/p>\n<h2>1. Contrasts for Vintage Eclecticism<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_555\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-555\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-555\" src=\"https:\/\/vinterioruk.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/2.jpg\" alt=\"2\" width=\"768\" height=\"575\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-555\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photography by Janne Olander for <\/em><em>Stadshem<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Vintage elements in bold hues will infuse a minimalist home with a sense of visual opulence and eclecticism. As a general rule, <a href=\"https:\/\/vinterioruk.wpcomstaging.com\/2016\/09\/12\/old-things-new-blings-australias-takes-on-modern-vintage-design\/\">most successful <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/vinterioruk.wpcomstaging.com\/2016\/09\/12\/old-things-new-blings-australias-takes-on-modern-vintage-design\/\">old-meets-new<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/vinterioruk.wpcomstaging.com\/2016\/09\/12\/old-things-new-blings-australias-takes-on-modern-vintage-design\/\"> d\u00e9cor blends<\/a> rely on the power of contrasts for aesthetic interest, which is why you should pay attention to the colors of vintage furnishings you\u2019re introducing into your home. An antique statement piece in a bold tone will feature as a focal point in a color-coordinated room, and if you\u2019re after superior effects, you can also draw on contrasts in terms of texture and shape when incorporating retro elements in your home.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Mix \u2018n\u2019 Match for Boho Aesthetics<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_554\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-554\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-554\" src=\"https:\/\/vinterioruk.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/3-1.jpg\" alt=\"3-1\" width=\"1200\" height=\"901\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-554\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Image source: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/newdarlings.com\/\"><em>New Darlings<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Using furniture pieces belonging to different periods of design history will create a boho chic backdrop in your nest. If you\u2019re a firm believer in visual eclecticism, you can try to blend several styles in your living area rather than using just a few vintage pieces as accents. The mix-and-match formula will help create a d\u00e9cor that exudes personality, depth, and interest, allowing the vintage pieces to blend in neatly rather than commanding attention or overwhelming the rest of the d\u00e9cor. For eclectic traveler home aesthetics, you can round off the <a href=\"https:\/\/residencestyle.com\/blue-bohemian-interior-design-with-vintage-style\/\">bohemian-style d\u00e9cor<\/a> with ornaments and mementoes salvaged on your travels.<\/p>\n<h2>3. A Sophisticated Antique Statement<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_553\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-553\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-553\" src=\"https:\/\/vinterioruk.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/4.jpg\" alt=\"4\" width=\"1200\" height=\"813\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-553\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Image sources: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hannahinthehouse.com\/home-of-interior-stylist-mie-lerche\/\"><em>Hannah in the House<\/em><\/a><em> and <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/blogg.skonahem.com\/husligheter\/files\/2016\/01\/pinterest-husligheter-4.jpg\"><em>Skona Hem<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>However visually engaging, eclectic style is not everyone\u2019s top favorite, but it doesn\u2019t mean that you have to settle for a no-frills modern d\u00e9cor. A single vintage statement piece of furniture will be enough to add character and aesthetic value to your living area, but you should select it with care to prevent a brash d\u00e9cor impression. For instance, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/furniture\/seating\/armchairs\/brown-leather-fleming-howland-chesterfield-wingback-armchair-foot-stool-set-wimbledon-london-hand-made-labeled\">an antique leather sofa with a foot stool<\/a> can double as the living room centerpiece, whereas a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/furniture\/storage\/wardrobes\/triple-victorian-mahogany-wardrobe-in-grey\">bold Victorian-esque wardrobe<\/a> perched by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.doorsplus.com.au\/doorsolutions\/zone-living\/zone-living-sliding-stacking\/\">glass-paneled aluminium sliding doors<\/a> will add depth and contrast to a modern open-plan living area.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Thinking outside the Vintage Box<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_552\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-552\" style=\"width: 575px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-552\" src=\"https:\/\/vinterioruk.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/5.jpg\" alt=\"5\" width=\"575\" height=\"441\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-552\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Image source: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/cupofjo.com\/2015\/03\/our-brooklyn-apartment\/\"><em>Cup of Jo<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When using vintage finds as d\u00e9cor accents, you don\u2019t necessarily have to stick to conventions. A daring blend of retro and modern pieces such as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/furniture\/tables\/desks\/french-oak-pedestal-desk\">vintage desk<\/a> topped by a modern ergonomic chair will unleash aesthetic dynamicity and add the element of visual surprise to the home office or living room. On that note, a mid-century chest of drawers will look at home as the TV console in a nature-inspired living room, while a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/furniture\/tables\/desks\/petite-queen-anne-style-burea-hand-painted\">retro bureau<\/a> can be used as the home bar for a sense of playfulness and creativity.<\/p>\n<h2>5. Where Retro and Country Collide<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_551\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-551\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-551\" src=\"https:\/\/vinterioruk.wpcomstaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/6.jpg\" alt=\"6\" width=\"650\" height=\"811\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-551\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Image source: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.decoist.com\/2015-05-22\/bathroom-barn-doors\/modern-eclectic-bathroom-with-a-lovely-barn-door\/\"><em>Decoist<\/em><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Most vintage pieces come in solid wood with a matte paint coat, but if you wish to liven up the home atmosphere with a dose of rustic charm, you can overhaul antique pieces following in the country style footsteps. Wire-brushed wood cabinetry or tables with bold grain will seamlessly blend into the modern d\u00e9cor structured around pastel colours, stone and\/or timber flooring, and organic textiles. For bonus aesthetic points, you can dress contemporary laminate floors with an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/search?dFR%5Bsubcategory_name%5D%5B0%5D=Rugs\">antique rug<\/a>, and round off the vintage d\u00e9cor with a few country-inspired extras such as a rustic coat hanger, decorative signboards, baskets, and a distressed table or floor lamp.<\/p>\n<p>Introducing antique pieces into a contemporary-style living area will increase the aesthetic value of your home and infuse it with character and timeless elegance. There\u2019s a host of ways in which you can pull off the <em>old-meets-new<\/em> d\u00e9cor, so feel free to experiment with different approaches \u2013 just don\u2019t let your modern-looking living area go without retro touches.<\/p>\n<section class=\" section--body section--first\">\n<div class=\"section-content\">\n<div class=\"section-inner layoutSingleColumn\">\n<p id=\"396f\" class=\"graf--p graf-after--p graf--last\"><em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">Zoe Clark<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\" section--body\">\n<div class=\"section-divider layoutSingleColumn\">\n<hr class=\"section-divider\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"section-content\">\n<div class=\"section-inner layoutSingleColumn\">\n<p id=\"4fe8\" class=\"graf--p graf--leading\"><em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">Shop at <\/em><a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vinterior.co\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_medium=vinteriorblog&amp;utm_content=bottomlink&amp;utm_campaign=oldthingsnewblings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Vinterior<\/a><em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">, Britain\u2019s greatest selection of vintage, mid century, antique and design furniture &amp; home decor.
