So, what can you do to emphasise vintage style in your home decoration?
Windows walls and fireplaces can be framed with wallpaper to create a beautiful feature wall, which acts as a focal point and draws the eye to the feature that you would like to show. There are so many different patterns of Vintage Wallpaper, from the floral to geometric shapes as well as the currently popular retro flock papers, and so you can pick which ever style is going to complement your chosen design and colour scheme best. Novelty papers and wall murals are also a great addition for your vintage home or perhaps consider making as a feature wall with some novelty vintage wallpaper in a child's bedroom or nursery.
In the kitchen, vintage wallpaper can be used as a backsplash between the counter tops and kitchen cabinets. Quite often vintage wallpaper is splash resistant, but to further protect it, you may consider applying a perspex or glass cover as this will act as a great barrier and can also enhance the look of the paper and ensure its durability over time.
As well as using vintage wallpaper on your walls, you can also use it for lining your cabinets, shelves, armoires, etc and as a great way of up-cycling some older furniture to make that much loved piece come alive again and saving you money at the same time. You really can make some big changes by using some pretty vintage paper and by creating a beautiful and very stylish look and feel to your home.
Don't forget to arrange your favourite accessories and collectibles that you may have obtained over the years or consider adding some fresh new items to complement your new look such as a gorgeous glass retro oversized vase with some delightful vintage flowers, as this kind of accessorising will help to accentuate your new style and really set off your vintage wallpaper.
