Vintage Finds: How to Incorporate Antique Wall Art into a Modern Space

👋 Hello there, my vintage-loving friends! Are you tired of the same old bland wall decor that everyone seems to have in their modern spaces? Do you crave the beauty and character that only antique wall art can bring? Then you’re in luck because I’m here to help you learn how to incorporate vintage finds into your modern decor seamlessly.👌

1. Think About Your Space 🏠

Before you start scouring flea markets for antique wall art, take a step back and think about your space. 🤔 Consider the color palette, style, and theme of your room, as well as the size and placement of the art you want to incorporate.

For example, if you have a more modern minimalist space, you may want to look for antique wall art that has simple lines or fits in with a monochromatic color scheme. If you have a bohemian-inspired room, you can look for vintage tapestries or bright painted pieces.🎨

2. Mix and Match 🎭

Don’t be afraid to mix and match! One mistake people make when trying to incorporate vintage finds into their space is sticking exclusively to one era or style. Instead, mix and match antique wall art with modern pieces to create a unique, eclectic look.

For example, pair a vintage paint-by-numbers piece with a modern abstract painting or hang a vintage botanical print next to a sleek metal sculpture. 💡

3. Use Variations in Size and Scale 📐

Variations in size and scale can add depth and interest to your wall art display. Pair large antique wall art with smaller modern prints or group smaller vintage pieces together for a cohesive display.

You can also create a gallery wall by mixing and matching sizes and styles of antique wall art. 💫

4. Show Off Unique Pieces 🌟

One of the best things about antique wall art is that each piece has a unique story and history. Show off your unique finds by making them the focal point of your display.

For example, hang a vintage clock or mirror on a bare wall or create a statement wall with a collection of vintage plates or other unusual finds. 🔍

5. Don’t Forget About Framing 🖼️

The right frame can make all the difference in the look of your antique wall art. Consider getting antique frames for your vintage finds to add to the character of the piece.

Alternatively, you can add a modern twist by framing your antique wall art in sleek black or white frames. Don’t forget to think about matting, too! Matting can add a pop of color and bring attention to specific areas of the antique wall art. 🎨✨

And there you have it - my top tips for incorporating antique wall art into a modern space! Remember, vintage finds can add character and interest to any room. Just keep in mind your style and theme, mix and match, play with size and scale, highlight unique finds, and consider framing. Happy decorating! 🎨👨‍🎨
