Creating a Vintage Theme Bedroom

Bedroom decorating can be simple when you start with a theme. A vintage theme is one of the easiest
because there are so many choices and options available to you. Create your bedroom unique your own with the accents and bedding you choose.

Start with a Color Scheme

I'm a big fan of having a good starting point when decorating. Colors are an easy choice. If you're interested in a vintage look, you obviously prefer soft, warm colors. That's very traditional in vintage looks. Whether it's pinks, browns, blues, greens, yellows, you are attracted to a more muted color scheme.

Maybe you found a bedding set that you love. Look at the colors in the print. They will help you decide on a color scheme for your bedroom decor.

Add the Accent Pieces

The accent pieces in your vintage bedroom will make all the difference. Besides your bedding set, which will take center stage in any bedroom, the other accents pieces can include lamps, wall clocks, pictures, figurines, wall decals even your curtain choices.

Tiffany lamps are considered a great addition to any vintage look. But I have word of caution here. Tiffany lamps often command their own attention. You might prefer the look of a tiffany lamp on a side table or desk away from your bed.

Vintage Can be Different Themes, too

Considering how many choices in vintage looks you have, you might like to create a theme-within-a-theme. Here are some to think about:

• vintage rose theme
• vintage stripe theme
• vintage geometrics (works great with Tiffany Lamps)
• vintage florals in specific colors (like blue or green)

Mixing things like stripes and florals can work very well for your vintage theme also. So don't be afraid to express you inner vintage person with themes that work for you.
