How to Create a Vintage Look in Your Bedroomsubmitted on 30 September 2017
A vintage boudoir will never go out of style. The timeless, comfortable and elegant interior design can create a beautiful and inviting space that’s ideal for sleeping, reading, watching TV and preparing for a night out. We’re therefore providing some handy advice on how to create a vintage look in your bedroom.
Paint the Walls White
The first thing you should do is paint the walls white. For instant vintage chic, we recommend adding some whitewashed boards for a classic antique style in the bedroom. The light colour will also add space and light to a bedroom to create an inviting interior design.
An Upholstered Bed
Every vintage bedroom needs an upholstered bed, which can add a little charm and colour to a classic design. If you’ve bought an original upholstered bed, you might need to upgrade it by reupholstering the furniture with a stunning floral fabric. It will therefore become a focal point in the bedroom, and you could even pass the antique furniture down through your family’s generations, as it’s one bed that will never go out of fashion.
Complementary Vintage Furniture
Complement an upholstered bed with stunning vintage furniture, which will make your bedroom appear as if it has been lifted from the cover of a magazine. For instance, a Kernow Furniture vintage dressing table will have the wow factor in your bedroom. You can also choose from a range of dressing table styles to suit the interior style, which could range from 1930s Art Deco and Queen Anne to mid-century furniture from the 1950s or 60s. It’s bound to add a touch of old-fashioned glamour to your bedroom. A dressing table is a staple addition to a vintage bedroom, and it’s the ideal place to showcase vintage accessories, such as an antique jewellery box, classic photo frame, ornate perfume bottle and other beautiful items.
Pick Complementary and Clashing Patterns
You don’t need to play by the rules to create a beautiful vintage bedroom. Experiment with colours, patterns and textures to create an eclectic, vintage interior design that will impress your guests. Mix and match colours with beautiful patterned wallpaper in pretty, classic colours, such as ice blue and pastel pink, which can perfectly complement or contrast with washed-out fabrics and soft cushions, pillows and curtains.
Create a Comfortable Space
Vintage bedrooms should be designed for comfort. We therefore encourage you to invest in crisp bed sheets, lace-trimmed pillowcases and a thick and cosy eiderdown. Not only will it create a warm and inviting style, but you’ll love cosying up in bed to enjoy a great night’s sleep or to read a good book. In fact, it will be so comfortable that you might never want to leave.
Keep it Pretty
A vintage bedroom style requires you to do more than simply incorporate some antique furniture into a space. You must make it as pretty as possible by adding large mirrors, frilled fabrics and beautiful floral patterns. Add an old-fashioned rug into the bedroom, make a vintage statement with a mannequin and add white lace bedding to create a pretty, brighter space.
