Vintage and the trend of make-do-and-mend are both proving to be extremely popular this year, and it seems so many people are trying their hand at giving their home that shabby chic look we all love. Luckily, creating a beautiful vintage bedroom could not be simpler. There are so many ideas out there and so many of them are easy to do and can cost you very little, making a stunning vintage-inspired bedroom affordable for any budget. Here are just a few ideas, to help get those creative juices flowing and to help you turn that bedroom into a vintage haven:
- Pastels and Neutrals
The key to a beautiful vintage room, is to pick out colours that won’t clash. Pastel and neutral colour schemes are often the best way to combat this, and nothing mirrors the past more than colours such as duck egg blue or even something as simple as plain white. Opting for colours such as these will leave more room to pick out beautiful fabrics and allow you to add décor to your walls without things clashing horribly. If your tastes are slightly more outlandish, then consider a feature wall, which will allow you to add in the colours or patterns that you love, without having too much of it, plus it provides a great backdrop for your bed.
- Easy to Make Wall Art
Adding art to your walls, whether it be in the form of paintings, letters or photographs, is a fantastic way of adding a personal touch to your room. Sourcing vintage pieces for your wall can be a lot of fun, as rummaging through vintage shops and car boot sales for the perfect pieces can be the perfect way to spend a Saturday morning. Consider framing old black and white photographs or letters, as it is so simple, and you can pick them up in abundance at car boot sales. The best part is they will cost you next to nothing too. It doesn’t matter if your frames don’t match, because it’ll add to that make-do-and-mend feel. Create a feature wall using mismatched frames, filled with vintage treasures. If you happen to have any vintage or even vintage-esque fabrics, even if they’re just free samples you’ve collected over the years, you can frame them using embroidery hoops and hang them in between the framed photographs to add a splash of colour to your walls. - Metal Bedframe
Metal bedframes are the perfect vintage accessory for any room, as not only does the metal frame have that great vintage feel, but they can be customised to suit your tastes too. From wrapping fairy lights around the headboard to adding a little bit of sparkle to your room, to distressing the paint work, there is just so much you can do. There are so many great places to find metal bedframes too, whether you opt for a traditional style, a Downton-inspired four poster bed or even a beautiful day bed frame, places such as Metal Beds Ltd have a great selection of metal frame beds. You could even drape vintage fabric from the ceiling for that beautiful vintage boudoir effect.
These are just a few ideas to help get you on your way to creating a stunning vintage boudoir for you to enjoy, but there are so many ideas out there that are easy to do and look so effective.
