How To Add Antique & Vintage Pieces Into Your Home

Our tastes tend towards antiques and vintage furniture, rather than contemporary pieces, which inspire us and lead us to search for and source high-quality antique and vintage items to not only use in our design projects but to also sell to the trade and to the public.

The maxim that good pieces will work together is true also for furniture, you can put together an eighteenth-century commode alongside two 1950s armchairs, and it will look great if each item has integrity. We are always looking for unique and special objects to add to our collection.

Antique Pairing Techniques

Adding antiques to your decor can give character to your space. Antiques and Vintage carry history and can make a pleasant change compared to modern pieces. They are often aesthetically crafted with attractive details to keep the room beautifully fresh, adding contrast, depth, and ultimately creating balance. 

Every home requires sufficient storage to keep belongings safe and clutter to a minimum. Whilst there are many modern and practical solutions available, antique chests and cabinets are a stylish alternative

Many of our Antique & Vintage seating options and tables can provide you with much more than just a comfortable place to sit and relax. They can create a beautiful and stylish focal point for a room whilst providing a distinctive classic design and an interesting story behind them.

Statement Pieces

Antiques allow for a room to not feel too strict and sometimes one strong statement piece is all you need. However, it is important to establish and understand your display plan to allow negative space between statement pieces so that they can shine on their own merits.  

Repurposing antique furnishings are a great way to serve both form and function. These one-of-a-kind designs are guaranteed to spark interest and generate conversation with your space. For example, an antique bookshelf can be doubled up into a private cocktail bar and leave a thought-provoking impression at a dinner party.

Mixing Old & New

Create a room that’s individual and multi-layered through both contemporary and vintage pieces. Mixing old and new is an exciting way to give an antique extended life in a new and interesting way. Combine or group items by period or look rather than those that look simply interesting and a ‘bit different’.
