How to Add Vintage Charm to Your Bedroom: Give Your Space Some Character
The level of cleanliness, organization, and aesthetics of the space around us affects us more than we know. Less or more, all people feel calmer when they can move around knowing what goes where, and not wasting time to look for stuff. Beyond just organization, the space in your home must be customized to your needs. Not every tablecloth fits your dining room just as not every kind of light bulb suits your desired living room atmosphere. You get my point. That’s why we’re going to look into the ways of adding vintage charm to perhaps the most important room of all – your bedroom, and giving your space more character.
Wooden Bedside Table for a Complete Bedroom
A good bedside table is a must-have for any bedroom. This is where you can place your night lamp, reading glasses, book, a glass of water, medicine, and any other necessity of yours. There are many furniture pieces that may be of a bigger priority to complete your bedroom design, but a bed without a side table is as incomplete as a beautiful home without a garden to sit in during the warm summer nights.
The bedside table not only gives a complete visual impression of the whole bedroom but also covers up many functionalities with one single buy. Your bedroom set may already contain a bedside table but the benefit of ordering custom bedside tables is that they will meet your needs and preferences much better than anything you can find in regular furniture stores. Also, if you’re looking for that rare vintage look, a wood bedside table is your pick. This way you may include cabinets or no cabinets, custom bedside tables with or without additional shelves, legs or no legs, etc. If you’re a lover of the minimalist style, a floating bedside table secured to the wall may be just right for you.
Vintage Rocking Chair for Your Down-Time
You love your home and your living room, and you enjoy being able to come home to a comfortable seating area. But no seating area is complete without the cosiness of a rocking chair. And your bedroom counts in here as well. While some people buy them just for their vintage looks, there are many benefits of using a rocking chair as well. Whether you buy a brand new designer rocking chair or you borrow one from your grandma, there is no doubt that this piece of furniture has all of the potential to become the new centrepiece of your common area. Adorn it with a decorative blanket and throw pillows, and this can easily become your favourite relaxation area where you can read a good book or watch a movie.
Bring Any Time-Period to Life with a Vintage Wallpaper
The Victorian Era’s obsession for wallpaper led to a wallpaper takeover in the 1920s. That’s when hundreds of millions of wallpaper rolls were sold, and this period was given the moniker the “Golden Age of Wallpaper.” So, if you are someone who likes to experiment a lot with their interior design and if painting your walls every couple of years is too much of a work, you should consider wallpaper for specific areas or maybe for the whole of your household.
Also, painting your walls doesn’t allow for much pattern creativity or specific drawings (unless you’re an artist and that’s what you do). If you want to be able to have a specific design from a specific era, let’s say the pastel or floral patterns from the 60s. With wallpaper all of that is possible. Liven up your bedroom by switching up the pattern of your walls, getting a new vintage chandelier or a retro area rug.
Storage Trunk Is a Mandatory Piece for a Perfect Vintage Set-up
If you’re tired of the typical bedroom ottomans, a storage trunk could be perfect for neatly keeping your stuff while beautifying your room. Placing a wooden storage trunk in the corner of your bedroom can be exactly the vintage accent you needed. In addition, if you’re looking for décor that is practical but also falls into this style, consider a wooden wall clock and bohemian style curtains. They could provide a semi-blackout, so some light still filters through but people could not see into your bedroom. Linen curtains in vintage patterns are perfect to protect your privacy while refreshing your bedroom with elegant simplicity.
Hang a Pendant Light with Warm Yellow Light Bulbs
Hanging a swag light or light fixture from your ceiling may seem like a daunting task, but if you have some basic knowledge of hanging light fixtures it’s in fact rather easy. You simply need to set a little bit of time aside and use a few basic tools. The whole process is worth it because nothing says old-fashioned quite as well as a light bulb hanging from a rope. And the shades of golden yellow add that additional charm and feelings of warmth and intimacy. The strength of the light will depend on how many light bulbs you decide to put up.
Let’s not forget about the night lamp by your bed and other standing lights in the corners. I mention this because spreading your lights across the room adds more layers to a room and makes it look more complete. And not just for the bedroom, vintage rope chandeliers are a perfect decoration for living room, terrace, restaurant, bar, coffee shops, staircase and more.
