Vintage is always in, so when you decide to decorate your bedroom in vintage style, you won't have too much trouble achieving your dream décor. However, with vintage, you can easily stray away and turn your interior into a true mess of a variety of furniture pieces and accessories thrown in together. Therefore, stick to this comprehensive guide and check out how you can easily decorate your bedroom in vintage style without going overboard.
Colors to determine the ambiance
Brown hues mixed with eggshell, white and dusky pink will make your bedroom look and feel like your grandma’s old home. Dark finishes and deep-wood tones will bring in the vintage vibe instantly. Consider jewel-toned paint or dark and dramatic wallpaper. They will help you set off antique beds, dressers, and armoires.
Wallpapers with vintage vibes
Speaking of wallpaper, you cannot imagine a vintage-style room without trademark walls covering with flowers and other whimsical patterns. Floral wallpaper in delicate pink, blue, or cream hues will be exactly what you need to make the room look like back in the 50s and 60s. A beige wallpaper with hints of olive green and jewel tones will be a good choice. Go for soft, delicate tones if you'd like to bring in a sense of serenity into the bedroom.
Look for vintage pattern bedding
Bedding is the next item on the list to consider. Aside from the walls, bedding will be the next most prominent feature in your bedroom design. So, look into some of the most authentic patterns at Wake In Cloud and make your bedroom look beautiful in vintage vibes. More florals on the pillows and covers alongside a throw blanket that will make the entire setting connected is all you need to create a vintage ambiance in the bedroom. You can never go wrong with bed linen in soft pastels and vintage-inspired prints. To make the most of your antique-looking bedroom, add a quilt that you made out of old sheets and clothes.
Browse flea markets and antique shops for unique items
An upholstered headboard, chaise lounge, antique French dressing table and an opulent chandelier alongside swag pelmet curtains are just some of the items you need to breathe vintage vibes into your bedroom. An iron bed frame is an ideal alternative for an upholstered headboard. Stop by the flea market or go to the local thrift shop and antique store to look for unique antiques that will look perfect as a part of your bedroom décor. A dingy old nightstand can be refurbished and still look old enough to look like it belongs in your vintage style room.
Invest in an array of accessories
An old bookcase with your dated hardcover books, a lamp that you inherited from your grandma and a few throw pillows on the bed are just some of the possible accessory options that will fit seamlessly into your vintage bedroom décor. If you bring your antique teapot and place it on a bottom shelf of a nightstand and add a dated oval-shaped picture frame on top of it, you’ll build a fabulous vintage style bedroom. Folky artworks, patchwork textiles and classic checked quilts are welcome as well.
If you’re trying to decorate your bedroom in vintage style, but you're not doing a very good job, stop and think how your grandma's room used to look. Throw in several items that you've gotten or inherited from the grandparents, add floral wallpapers and make sure there are dark wood tones across the room. With antique furniture and old-fashioned accessories such as lamps, picture frames and tea sets, your bedroom will look perfect and radiate vintage vibes all over.
