What decorating style draws you in? When you see a home you love, how would you describe the style? My favorite decorating style is definitely vintage eclectic, that mix of old and new, acquired and reclaimed, colorful and patterned, warm and welcoming. Achieving that style is a process of collecting, thrifting, repurposing, buying, and evolving, always leaving a small space for that perfect find that you can’t resist.
To achieve the vintage eclectic style in your own home, don’t skip over the details. Scour estate sales and hit flea markets for old locker baskets …
… industrial items that can be repurposed …
… pieces that can be painted and given new life …
… and small items that can be repurposed into something else.
Then add bigger pieces that match your style. Coordinate rather than match and let your personality shine. And don’t shy away from new pieces like those found at Sauder … affordable furniture that doesn’t force you to sacrifice style and quality. When choosing furniture, remember these three tips:
1. Add colorful and timeless styles with simple lines that won’t conflict with your vintage finds {source}.
2. Remember that your home should be practical and functional. Choose pieces that work for your family and still allow you to express your personality {source}.
3. Use pieces in an unexpected way. Use a china cabinet to store books, transform a dresser into dining room storage for extra dishes, or hang a chair on the wall to function as a shelf {source}.
Break out of the mold and find your style! And be sure to find inspiration on the Sauder pinterest boards!
