Preparation
Are you hoping to add some antique style to your home? Thankfully, you won’t have to revamp every part of your interior’s décor to achieve this look. In fact, simply adding a vintage-inspired rug can get the job done. “Selecting a rug that has a lived-in or vintage feel adds character,” Raymond Jimenez, the founder and creative director of RAYMOND NICOLAS, says. “I personally like when vintage-style rugs are placed in ultra-modern homes because they make the space more casual and palatable.” Ultimately, there are so many advantages to choosing an antique-style rug. For starters, you can achieve the authentic touch you’d gain from a true vintage carpet, without worrying about the upkeep required for an older piece. Another plus? Antique rugs often cost thousands of dollars, while modern replicas can be found even on the tightest of budgets.
While you’re on the hunt for one of your own vintage-inspired pieces, Tanya Hembree, the owner and principal designer of Onyx + Alabaster, says to keep your eyes open for two key design elements: large patterns and faded colors. From there, you can select your preferred style to dress up everything from your entryway to the heart of your living room.
