Selling Soon? 5 Designing Trends
1: Vintage Items To Create Conversation and Spark Memories
If you’re thinking of putting your home on the market this summer, there’s one trend you won’t want to miss: vintage items. Not only do they give your home a warm, lived-in feel, but they also add personality that helps buyers connect emotionally with the space.
This summer, interior designers are encouraging homeowners to ditch the cookie-cutter accessories and instead decorate with unique, hand-picked vintage pieces. Think colorful glassware, quirky ceramics, and heirloom-style vases. These items can often be found at local flea markets, antique shops, or even online marketplaces and they can encourage conversations about memories of days gone by.
Why It Works
Vintage decorations tells story. When potential buyers walk through your home, they’re not just seeing rooms—they’re imagining life in them. Vintage items, especially those with bright colors or interesting textures, create a sense of charm and comfort. One such example is hand-painted polka dot ceramics, like the ones styled by designers after trips to the South of France. Placing pieces like this on your kitchen shelves or coffee table can instantly boost your home’s appeal and make your interior stand out in the list of homes each buyer is trying to remember after their short visit.
How to Use Vintage Style Effectively
Don’t overdo it: A few standout pieces go a long way.
Mix and match: Pair old with new to keep your home looking fresh.
Show Your personality: Choose items that you have a memory with. Buyers love authenticity.
Whether you're staging your home for an open house, updating your look before listing, or just having a little fun with decorating, vintage items can be a low-cost, high-impact choice.
