Where's the excitement in a boring home? This season, you'll see thrifters out on a hunt for some seriously cool vintage finds. The vibe is kitschy, bold, and fun – exactly what you need to update your decor without breaking the bank!
To help you score the best vintage collectibles on your quest, we've asked the experts, Emily Vaughn and Laura McMahon from The Guild, who just returned from an epic European buying spree. They're sharing the hottest trends and their customers' favorite picks.
Vintage Buying Tips for 2023
While Europe is going nuts for vintage everything, it's trendy across the globe. Here's a sneak peek at this season's must-have items:
- Vintage Furniture: From armchairs, tables, beds, and more, vintage furniture adds personality and mid-century charm to your space. Look for quirky pieces that grab your attention for a truly unique look1.
- Paintings and Art Deco Lamps: With bold lines, clean shapes, and an timeless appeal, Art Deco lamps will light up any room. They complement current metallic trends like chrome, making them a perfect fit for your living room or bedroom1.
- Kitchen Accessories: Copper pots, vintage bread boxes, or even hand-crank mixers can be found at thrift stores. Mix and match pieces from different time periods for an eye-catching, eclectic kitchen2.
- Painted Screens and Panels: Large-scale decorative items like screens and panels are great buys as they can effortlessly update a room, help define its color scheme and even act as room dividers2.
- Barware and Glasses: Whether you're a fan of entertaining or simply appreciate aesthetic beauty, decorative vintage glassware is in high demand. It's a surefire way to elevate your bar cart game2.
- Kitschy Plates: Cabbagewear and bunny-themed plates are all the rage this season. Colorful, whimsical plates add a touch of fun and energy to your dining area2.
- Fashion as Decor: Vintage handbags or silk scarves make excellent, decorative additions to your wardrobe or home. For an added pop of style, consider hanging your favorite handbag in your walk-in closet or dressing room2.
Remember, quality should be your top priority. While we love finding a bargain, a piece that's too worn might require more repair work than it's worth. On the flip side, if you love it, it's worth it!
