Create a vintage bedroom

Create a vintage bedroom

Forget the stresses and strains of modern life and escape to a pretty vintage bedroom with tons of retro appeal. Feminine and completely charming, a vintage bedroom is also easy and surprisingly inexpensive to create.


Our decorating tips will make light work of recreating a traditional vintage bedroom through classic colour schemes, delicate accessories and homemade extras that will give your bedroom a personal and unique touch.


Vintage style isn’t about having the latest trend or must-have technology, so why not consider making some of your accessories and soft furnishings yourself? This can also be a fun way to decorate a room, with greater satisfaction at the end. Start by making a lace blind. Hanging a single lace panel over your window is such a simple but effective way of achieving that sort-after vintage look.


Once you are feeling more confident in your creative skills, you can try something a bit trickier, such as stenciling a wall panel behind a dressing table or chest of drawers. This is a great way of creating a focal point in the bedroom and will double as a great place to hang jewellery and trinkets. You could even try making a decorative headboard out of card – so much more affordable than the real thing and just as pretty!


Don’t forget bedroom lighting – it can be a key ingredient in creating a cosy atmosphere in the bedroom and should be one of the first things you plan into your scheme.


Finish off your vintage haven with some classic French-style furniture, which you can paint white to match the rest of your room. Don’t forget to consider traditional extras such as painted floorboards, worn rugs and dainty soft furnishings.
