Refresh this Spring with some vintage charm

Spring is the perfect time to breathe new life into your living spaces, and adding vintage elements can give character, warmth, and timeless appeal. Here are some simple ways to refresh your home with vintage-inspired decor this season:

Start with a thoughtful color palette inspired by bygone eras—soft pastels reminiscent of the 1950s, earthy tones from the 1970s, or gentle florals from Victorian times. All of these colors serve as the perfect backdrop to your interior.

Hunt for unique pieces at thrift stores, estate sales, and flea markets. Look for quality craftsmanship in furniture with good bones that can be restored or repurposed. Even a single statement piece—like a mid-century modern chair or an antique dresser—can transform a room.

Mix old with new for balance. Pair vintage furniture with contemporary textiles, or display antique collections against modern wall colors. This prevents your space from feeling like a museum and creates a lived-in, collected-over-time aesthetic.

Bring spring indoors by arranging fresh cut forsythia sprigs about to bloom or soft pussy willow branches in vintage vessels—depression glass, milk glass vases, or ceramic pitchers all make charming containers. This simple touch bridges the old-world charm with the freshness of the season.

Remember that vintage styling is never about perfection! Quite the opposite. Embrace the patina, wear, and history that comes with older items—these imperfections tell stories and add soul to your home as you welcome the renewal that spring brings.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
