Buying Guide

In order to decorate an old-fashioned bedroom, you'll first need to decide on an era that you want to use as a template. You'll also need to consider your budget and stick to it. It would help if you were also aware that 20th-century furniture would cost you more than furniture from the 1940s or 1950s.

So to start, you'll want to visit your local antique store to unearth some much-needed items. Get creative and turn an antique desk into a dressing table or decorate your bedroom walls with vintage prints to turn it into a centerpiece.

A lot of hidden gems can be found at garage sales, thrift stores and flea markets, and you might even get them for next to nothing. For example, if you find an old lampshade, you can add a customized touch to it to resemble a particular era and add it to your bedside table.

Next, look for bedding and decorative items with a vintage feel. If you cannot source any of these, you're welcome to get creative and make your own. For example, the 1950s American vintage theme included lots of colorful fabrics and large prints of pop-cultural icons for an old-fashioned bedroom.

Dark wood finishes like mahogany are the best colors for old-fashioned bedroom furniture. This is because they immediately convey a retro balance between cozy and elegant. Darker bedroom furniture works particularly well against walls in a lighter color and, especially, large rooms.

However, if your room isn’t too wide or you already have dark walls, it might be wiser to choose some old-fashioned bedroom furniture in white or a light wood finish: that way, you’ll obtain a pleasant contrast and avoid creating a heavy feel.

Old fashioned furniture can be accessorized in various ways, depending on the style you want for your room. If you have old fashioned bedroom furniture and want to add a more contemporary look, you can reupholster the fabric in a modern color or pattern. You can also mix contemporary artwork with old fashioned furniture to create a more current statement. Try adding abstract pictures with bright, bold colors to achieve this look.

If you don’t want to lose the vintage charm of your old fashioned furniture by refurbishing, you can accessorize your old fashioned bedroom furniture by mixing your antique and vintage pieces with modern decor accents with a similar aesthetic. For example, if you have a classic Shaker bed frame, pair it with a modern jute or seagrass rug and cream linen curtains. This creates an on-trend minimal vibe without sacrificing the elegance of your old fashioned furniture piece.
