How to curate a timeless vintage-style home
Trends may come and go, but a timeless interior is always in style. The attraction of vintage-style spaces is undeniable. It could be the history behind the pieces, the character they bring or the sense of luxury they exude. At Taskers of Accrington, we specialise in all things luxury, and we have an array of vintage and vintage-style pieces you can incorporate into your living space to create an atmosphere of luxury and opulence.
If you're searching for ways to add the unique charm of vintage-style interiors to your home, you've come to the right place. We offer a variety of luxury brands that can help you make your stunning vintage-style space even better. We also have a couple of tips and tricks you can use to help shape your space into the perfect vintage-inspired haven.
Start with quality vintage or vintage-style pieces
If you're looking to create a timeless and unique vintage-style home, start by picking out a few high-quality items that you can base the rest of your decor around. This could be a sofa like our Tetrad Liberty Grand Sofa, or a dining room table like our Iain James Dining Furniture Cluster Base Dining Table, or a stunning armchair like the Alexander & James Hansel Leather Chair.
Some great places to find these statement pieces include online auctions, flea markets, vintage fairs and, of course, right here at Taskers! One of our favourite vintage looking collection is our Iain James collection, a stunning collection of stylish living and dining furniture, bedroom furniture, and office furniture that delivers exceptional quality, elegance, and artistry. Each piece in this exquisite range is meticulously hand-built and hand-finished to a standard that truly stands out. It exudes a vintage charm that will breathe new life into any room in your home.
We have so many gorgeous ranges and elegant pieces to choose from, all full of vintage character and charm. But the best piece of advice we can give anyone looking to create a vintage-style home is to properly think about which pieces you're willing to spend a little more on and the style and era you're looking to go for when it comes to your statement pieces. With a discerning eye and a plan, you're sure to find treasures that will add bags of warmth and timeless appeal to your home.
It’s all about mixing and matching
Vintage as a style is very eclectic and looks more like it's been curated and chosen over time, rather than buying all of your furniture together, like in a set, for example. Mixing and matching vintage pieces from different eras can be a fun way to decorate your home. For instance, you can combine Art Deco, Victorian, 1920s, and other styles to create a unique look. Pairing mid-century modern chairs with a Victorian-era side table or even blending Art Deco accessories with rustic farmhouse furniture can create a beautiful and harmonious eclectic style! And, because it's all vintage or vintage-style, it has that common denominator that ties the whole look together.
Draw inspiration from vintage inspired colour palettes
One easy way to help your home feel more vintage is with a lick of paint. Don't underestimate the amount of atmosphere the right colour can imbue into your space. And when it comes to finding the perfect vintage shade, there’s a few easy tricks you can use to help create the exact vibe you’re going for.
If you're going for more of a classic, Victorian-style vintage vibe, then for paint, we'd suggest choosing rich jewel tones like burgundy, emerald green, and sapphire blue. These shades are the ideal backdrop for regal, romantic luxury. If you're going for a more Art Deco vintage style, then think royal blue, deep purple, and fiery red. The roaring 20s was all about glamour and extravagance, so these bold colours will really help your Art Deco pieces pop! If you love vintage styles but want your home to have a slightly more contemporary take, then mid-century modern colours would be the ideal choice. These are shades of earthy shades of green, burnt oranges and classic neutrals like beige, white and cream, making your walls incredibly versatile.
