Looking for vintage bedroom decorating ideas? Romantic and completely charming, a vintage bedroom is also pretty easy and surprisingly inexpensive to create. With our decorating ideas, recreating a traditional vintage bedroom with classic colour schemes and delicate accessories will be a piece of cake!
A bedroom in vintage style will take you back in time. It includes traditional and nostalgic elements and incorporates a variety of style ideas from different times. But don’t worry, in order to make this magic happen, you don’t have to break the bank. Delicate patterns, soft colours and textural fabrics are all you need to instantly bring vintage style to your bedroom.
Use Wallpapers
An amazing way to bring vintage feeling into your bedroom is by using vintage style wallpapers. There are so many ways you could use a vintage style wallpaper in your bedroom; behind a dressing table, a chest of drawers or a bed headboard. They are so great and so easy to use because wallpapers are no longer constrained to four matching walls and serious prints. The latest vintage style wallpaper designs available on the market offer so much more, a wide array of colours, designs and patterns. Really, the sky is the limit! Here’s an interesting idea; why not bring the look of your bed and your room for that matter to a whole different level and make a decorative headboard using the powerful design of your favourite wallpaper? It can definitely look pretty cool and interesting.
Shop Around for Furniture
Visit your local antique store to find treasure pieces. Use your creativity! You can transform an antique desk into a charming dressing table, or coordinate your bedroom walls with vintage prints as a centerpiece. You can also check for items at flea markets, garage sales and thrift stores where you might be able to find vintage items that fit your budget. An old lampshade from a particular era can be an amazing piece to adorn your bedside table.
Take Advantage of Fabrics
Shop for bedding and decorative items that feature a vintage style. You can even create you own bedding or cushions with vintage linens. Colourful fabrics for bed linens and pillows combined with large prints of pop cultural icons create a 1950s vintage style while art decorations and modernism, or fake animal skins create a 1920s theme.
Complete the Look With Accessories
Since vintage style isn’t about having the latest trend or technology, why not make a few accessories yourself? This can also be a fun and relaxing way to decorate your bedroom. Start by making a DIY lace blind. Hanging a lace over your window is a simple yet effective way to achieving a vintage look.
