10 Ideas for Decorating your Home with Vintage Items this Autumn
1) Vintage Rusted Metal
Rusty, chipped metal items look fantastic in the home, providing an attractive contrast with soft, warm colours. Postcards from the Ridge used this vintage wire egg crate to hold some of their favourite autumn throw blankets:
Here at West & Co Interiors, we currently have some fantastic rusty metal items in stock, including Vintage Small Advertising Tins and Vintage Tin Pastry Cases. Spruce up your kitchen shelves or dining table with these beautiful antique items this autumn.
2) Vintage books
Vintage books can be stacked or leaned, adding height to any autumn home décor vignette. They are a fantastic method for displaying fall décor such as pumpkins or fallen leaves, as demonstrated by Shiplap & Shells:
West & Co Interiors often has some unusual antique books in stock, including these Observer Books. Stack them, tilt them, open them, close them, lie them flat, stand them tall … the possibilities are truly endless!
3) Vintage silverware
Whether it’s polished to perfection or left in its original, tarnished state, vintage silverware is guaranteed to add some sparkle to your autumn home décor. We love how Postcards from the Ridge incorporated vintage silverware into their autumn table setting:
We have some amazing vintage silverware in stock currently, including Vintage Apostle Teaspoons, Vintage Napkin Rings, and a Hallmarked Silver Ashtray. Include them in your autumn dining table setup or display them on the mantlepiece for added interest.
4) Vintage linens
Vintage linens add a delicate, subtle texture to any autumn home vignette. Postcards from the Ridge rolled theirs up and displayed them in a cabinet with their kitchen China – we think it looks simply divine!
