Vintage Bedroom Ideas For Your Antique Finds

This bed brings everything you need for a vintage feel. It has a gorgeous buttoned upholstered headboard that is double-sided – this means you can place it anywhere in the room to be a centrepiece. The same fabric is used on the foot end of the bed too. The bed frame is delicately carved for an elegant and sophisticated appearance. If that hasn't convinced you enough that this is a vintage bed, it has a weathered oak wood finish. What's more, it's in a neutral colourway so it can work with pretty much any colour scheme you choose.

With an antique bedroom you need to have some luxury bedsheets. Having a fancy bed means you need bedding that is going to keep the quality high. We picked this striped bedding set that's part of Dunelm's conscious choice range. It has such a timeless design with light stripes that add texture to the product. This duvet cover and pillowcases can be featured in a number of interior designs so you're not limited to a vintage bedroom. The pillowcases have an Oxford border that is sumptuous and completes the look.

Even though the bed is fancy on its own, there's no reason why you can't add a little something else to it. We couldn't resist including this canopy in our vintage bedroom ideas. This just needs to be attached above your bed and you can lightly drape over the edges of your headboard. Everything about this accessory is airy and calming. It reminds us of historic homes you see in period dramas so it should definitely be a part of your vintage bedroom. As a bonus, it doesn't just look pretty, it's practical too. It keeps the mosquitos out at night, so no more worries of bugs getting in.

As there is already a beautiful headboard and footboard, we have opted for just one cushion. Any more cushions will take the focus from the bed frame and it seems unnecessary for these vintage bedroom ideas. This cushion has delicate piping around the seam of the cushion that contrasts with the cream fabric. On the front, there's a selection of dainty embroidered flowers that add a pop of purple, blue and orange to the room. It can become a statement piece against the white bedsheets, but the neutral colours don't distract you from the whole bedroom.

We obviously had to choose this table as it matches the bed frame from the same range. It's got a weathered oak finish with intricately carved legs. The table is in a semicircle shape which makes the overall design soft and calming. Below the tabletop, there's a little drawer for some extra storage space and nearer to the floor there's a half-moon shelf. Now, you might not have thought about getting a console table or side table but you can turn it into a dressing table for your bedroom. Simply rest a mirror on top or hang a mirror above and voila – you've got a vintage dressing table. It creates the perfect place to get ready.

This light has a gold cable and an amber-tinted glass pendant. The lighting it creates has a vintage tinge to it which is the exact vibe you want to have. You could have this as a centre light of the room, or you can have them as accent lights on either side of the bed. With an amber and gold design, it brings warm tones and adds a warming feel to your vintage bedroom. The glass curved dome is gorgeous and will remain discreet amongst the rest of the decor, but it's a small touch that can make a difference.

The best places to find a vintage frame are thrift stores because you can get ones that are actually antique. However, if that's not so easy for you then we have the next best thing. This frame is sort of style you want to keep an eye out for. Keep finding frames like this one and you'll have a gallery wall in no. The Brompton Frame comes in different variations of frame colour and sizes so you could even mix and match several of these for a quirky wall display.

Candle holders are a must-have. It can be the tall and thin golden ones that you see in the movies or you can pick something a little different. We found these lovely candle holders and decided to choose the subtle blue/clear colour. They come in smaller sizes and other colours, so you could get a selection. There's something about the ribbed details and the colouring that makes it feel old-fashioned, yet it's so chic. They're the perfect addition to your side table.

You've got to have a hint of floral wallpaper in your vintage bedroom. The floral wallpaper brings Cottagecore bedroom ideas into the room. Obviously, flowers are associated with the countryside, nature and the outdoors which make sense for Cottagecore but it is very popular for a vintage style too. You probably imagine the kind of wallpaper that will be revealed if you ever took off your current design.

This one uses soft colours – grey, beige, green – to create branches with flowers and leaves with butterflies in between. It's absolutely stunning and don't worry, it won't remind you of your Great Grandma's living room. We would suggest having the floral wallpaper used as an accent wall rather than all four walls.

When it comes to wall art, you just need botanical prints. They can be hung in your antique frames or you can go for another look. Although, we think this art print would go incredibly with the frames we recommended above. The design of this one reminds us of Alice in Wonderland so there's a lot of nostalgia that comes with the artwork.

Having this picture hanging on a separate wall to the wallpaper will tie them both together beautifully. Alongside this, it pairs with the embroidered cushion too because of the pops of colour, the contrast and the flowers. Amazing.
