This approach celebrates individuality and creates visually stimulating spaces that are rich in character​.

Incorporating Vintage Luxury: Practical Tips


Start with a Single Piece

For those new to vintage decor, start by incorporating a single, large-scale antique piece into a modern room. This could be a solid-wood antique desk in a contemporary office, serving as a focal point without detracting from the room's modernity.


The 80-20 Rule

Achieve balance by using the 80-20 rule: let 80% of your space reflect the dominant style (modern luxury) and reserve 20% for vintage furniture and accents. Commit to a single design period like Art Nouveau or Art Deco for a cohesive look.


Refreshing Vintage Pieces

Consider repainting or reupholstering vintage pieces to suit the existing luxury tone of your house. This can involve professional restoration or DIY updates like reupholstering a classic armchair with bold, geometric fabric.


Focus on Lighting

Lighting can effectively introduce a vintage vibe into a modern space. Antique chandeliers or vintage sconces can become focal points, adding vintage flair subtly yet impactfully.
