The vintage look has been in trend guides for a long time now, and that’s partly because the definition of ‘vintage’ constantly changes.

For example, did you know the 90’s are now officially vintage? How many people feel a bit old reading that?

It’s no surprise really that vintage continues to be popular. Designers have always taken inspiration from the past, and added their own spin. In some ways, going for a vintage style means your home will never look outdated!

So, as vintage is quite a broad term, we’ve found five items that are inspired by days gone by, rather than one particular decade.

1. The details

With creating a vintage look, the key is often in the details. One of the best ways to add a retro feel to a room is to add unusual curtain pole finials.

Go for gold coloured ones, quirky shapes and extravagant ones. Try to avoid silver and sparkles, as these tend to be more modern styles.

We have a fantastic range available to suit a wide range of tastes from wooden to metal, from bronze to gold to cream.  Prices for all our finials start from just £7.95.

2. The floor

A statement rug can lift a room, and transport it back to the 60’s!

The Moonstone rug is a great pick, as the bubble effect really takes inspiration from the flower power era. Using a premium quality wool this Moonstone rug will certainly add luxury and style to the room. The rug is priced at £199.95

3. Bedroom

If it’s the bedroom you’re giving a vintage makeover too, the most important thing to look at is the bed linen.

The Lymington Floral Duvet set will be a timeless addition to your bedroom with it’s beautiful floral print. The design has been expertly created using the finest polycotton material and finished with a traditional floral print in deep heather and spice colours.

Choose cream sheets and walls to really make this stunning duvet set stand out.  The double set is priced at £14.95

Another duvet set we absolutely love and with the perfect name for this blog is the Mia Vintage floral duvet set.

The Mia Vintage duvet will brighten up your bedroom with its pretty and elegant vintage design. On the reverse there is a beautiful candy stripe pattern so you get two stunning designs for the price of one!

Priced at £19.95 for a double set, we really think this will give your bedroom the wow factor!

4. Winter Warmers

Thanks to our cold winter weather, we can spend our evenings cosying up underneath a blanket to keep warm. Why not upgrade your blanket to a 70-style faux fur throw?

This Silas Faux Fur Throw is super soft and luxurious and adds both a touch of vintage and modern to any room.  Keep it in the living room draped over a sofa or at the end of your bed and as it’s machine washable it’s a perfect “warming” addition to any room!

The throw is priced at £49.95.

5. Cushions

Cushions are one of the easiest ways to add a little vintage touch to a room as well as adding a little luxury.

We have a fantastic range of cushions available from plain to patterned to suit every look starting from as little as £4.95.

The correct lighting can also have an impact on the finishing touch so why not take a look at some old style lighting to really complete the look?
