Vintage & Classic

Vintage and classic style is about pieces that feel like they have a story. Shapes are familiar and a little ornate: cage and globe ceiling lights, iron art chandeliers, arched and carved mirrors, gilded frames and station clocks. Finishes lean toward bronze, antique gold, black iron and aged wood, with colored and clear glass, porcelain and velvet adding richness. The light is warm and flattering, softened by glass shades and fabric. Our edit ranges from colored glass and cage ceiling lights to iron art chandeliers, bronze vanity lights and fabric bedside wall lamps. On the decor side there are blue and white porcelain vases, glazed ceramic planters, a French porcelain wall clock, a double sided station clock, ornate gold picture frames, a gothic arch mirror set, a glass hurricane candle lamp and a chenille velvet curtain. For the garden, metal solar hanging lanterns bring a vintage glow outside.

How to make vintage feel fresh

• Find a common thread: French, retro and gothic pieces can mix, but a shared palette, such as gold and cream, keeps the room from feeling like an antique shop.
• Mix old with plain: An ornate mirror above a simple console, or a cage light in a plain white kitchen, gets more attention than a room full of ornament.
• Use warm, low light: Warm white bulbs and glass shades flatter bronze, brass and wood. Cool light tends to flatten patina.
• Group frames and mirrors: A gallery of mismatched gold frames reads as one collection once they hang with even spacing.

Mixing vintage with other styles

Classic pieces soften a modern room and give it some history. For extra shine, lean toward glam with crystal and gold. Browse our wall decor for frames and clocks to build a gallery wall.
