Fall in Love with Antiques!
“And all at once, summer collapsed into fall.”
– Oscar Wilde
This fall create a warm, nostalgic atmosphere in your home. Emphasize earthy tones like deep oranges, rich browns, mustard yellows, and muted greens. Use antique textiles, such as vintage quilts or tapestries, in these colors to drape over furniture or hang on walls. Pair antique wooden furniture with soft, cozy fabrics. Think about using antique rugs, velvet cushions, or wool throws to create layers of comfort. Incorporate antique vases or bowls filled with fall items like dried flowers, pinecones, or gourds. A rustic, weathered table paired with these elements adds a seasonal charm. Repurpose antiques by reupholstering them with a new fabric or adding new hardware to a wooden piece.
Decorating with antiques comes from our innate need for a connection to the past, to believe in a story, and create a sense of history in the space we inhabit. So often, Saturday and Sunday strolls lead to the local flea market or antiques store and then it happens—love at first sight strikes with a hidden treasure. Decorating with antiques and vintage items can add character, history, and a unique charm to your home and garden.
