34 spaces that mix contemporary and vintage furniture

Be inspired to create elegant environments, combining the ancient with the modern

Using vintage items in a modern or contemporary space is a great way to add texture, depth, charm and character.

If you’re a big fan of mixing different eras, this list is for you – we discuss how to harmonize modern and vintage elements in an impeccable tasteful space.

There is no specific science to find a balance between the old and the new, much of it is trial and error. However, there are some tips and tricks to consider if this is the style you are looking for.

start small

If you have a very modern space, start small. Vintage furniture pieces would be a great place to start: artwork, books, lamps, frames, coffee tables, etc.

Vintage fabrics are another great idea for adding depth and charm to your design, especially when it comes to rugs. Small pieces don’t require difficult matches, don’t stand out too much, but add a chic touch to the space.

a common element

Find a commonality between your vintage and modern pieces, whether it’s color, tone, pattern or similar material, etc. This is a perfect way to make your piece cohesive, whether the space is super modern or ultra minimalist.

Contrast

Contrast is a wonderful thing in this situation, and very important. You want your vintage pieces to add depth and texture that can really balance a more modern design scheme.

Don’t be afraid to mix materials – it’s okay to group things together that may not have the same finish but work together. Yes, this is a contrary idea to the previous point, but it works very well!

Get inspired by the ideas we have collected and enjoy!
