How to Create the Look of Vintage Style in Your Bedroom

Wednesday, August 18, 2021

If you are redecorating or redesigning your bedroom, consider vintage bedroom ideas to add elegance and charm. A vintage look can be both vintage and stylish at the same time. It is not easy to achieve this look but the effort definitely pays off. Vintage furniture is not inexpensive but the look it lends to a room is worth the price. Consider these vintage bedroom tips to decorate your bedroom with furniture that is both classic and charming.

Most Popular Bedroom Retro Look

A retro look is one of the most popular themes for redesigning your bedroom. Women love vintage styles because they have a timeless quality that makes them very chic and feminine. When designing a retro decorating theme, take inspiration from a historical time period; either your grandparents' era or from the past decades that are immediately recognizable. Choose a pretty vintage bedroom pillow cover or a vintage dresser to accent your design.


Vintage inspired furniture items include lampshades, posters, paintings, jewelry, and more. Find inspiration for the decor in the items you love; choose throw pillows that reflect your personal style. If you are feeling nostalgic, try to think of photos, greeting cards or fabric printouts from childhood or other memories. Paints and designs on fabric choices can be vintage as well; feminine floral prints and country scenes are great vintage inspiration pieces. You can also use vintage fabrics like velvet, chenille, and baby blankets to wrap your bedding in.

Use of Ashwell Clock in the Bedroom

An ashwell clock is an elegant antique that adds charm to any bedroom. To create an authentic vintage look, consider purchasing an antique shell that still has its original components. An ashwell clock is a great wall accent because it looks great both as a wall mount accessory and a floor stand as well. Choosing an antique or vintage ashwell clock is easy; simply choose one that features a bell and jack, if possible. Remember, an old clock always speaks of elegance, class and sophistication so invest in a great piece.

Another vintage decorating idea is to create an overall color scheme or theme. Themes such as sports, flowery, country, and beach can create a fun, unique vibe for your home. To begin, choose a general theme or color scheme for your home, such as a kitchen or family room, and then choose the decorating accessories that go with it. Consider purchasing vintage-inspired accessories to complete the overall look.

Choose the Vintage Look of The Bedroom Walls

When choosing a vintage look for your bedroom wall, you want to find a focal point to anchor the vintage style. A vintage wall clock is a great focal point, but you do not want your other decorating pieces to distract from it. You may want to purchase several vintage style wall clocks to use as a focal point or to balance out the vintage style throughout your bedroom. Placing one on the bed side table or end table would be a perfect spot to display one.

Once you have decided on the overall theme or look for your bedroom, you are ready to choose the decorative pieces that will complete your new vintage style. One idea is to select an antique glass vase to fill the empty space on your bedside table or dresser, vintage botanical prints for floral accents throughout the rest of the bedroom, and a vintage looking nightstand to place on your nightstand. Placing a vintage looking alarm clock on the wall behind your bed and adding some vintage prints on your pillows will complete the look.

Decorating your home is a lot of fun. It gives you a chance to express your personality and style, which make your home reflect who you are. If you want to add a vintage look to your home, you don't have to do it by renovating everything. Creating a vintage look by using throw rugs or a vintage rug is an easy way to give your bedroom decor a classic look. When you're shopping for throw rugs or a vintage rug, make sure to check the fabric and weight of each piece. Choose pieces that will easily match your existing decor and have pieces with bold, bright colors.
