How to Add Vintage Elements to Your Home

A well-balanced room has a variety of elements from different time periods, including the lighting, furniture and home accents. If you’re interested in adding vintage style to your living spaces, Restoration Lighting Gallery is your one-stop-shop! You may think vintage elements will clash with your modern decor but adding complementary antique fixtures to your current living areas can be effortless. We have 3 tips to help you accomplish it.

Start Small

Consider the colors in your design scheme. Start subtle by mixing different hues and patterns to add vintage flair to your home. For instance, if you have dark colored furniture – particularly deep red or brown – antique brass lighting fixtures complement darker tones.

Make a Statement

When incorporating vintage elements into a room that’s already decorated, you don’t want to go overboard. One antique lighting fixture could be all you need to make a statement! From large Spanish chandeliers to crystal pendants, we have a vast selection of bold fixtures to choose from. Find a vintage focal point that goes well with your existing decor.
