Thinking of redecorating? Try these vintage interior tips

7. Paint

If you find that you have all the right furniture but your flat still doesn’t feel vintage enough, do some period research and look into paint colours & textures. There are some very good books about this, but the best would be to find an original decoration book from the era you are going for.

8. Focus on one room at a time

I made the mistake of going in all directions at the same time. As a result, the bedroom still needs work. If you progress one room at a time, you will give yourself time to think and identify exactly what you need in each room. And add to your list. For example a G-Plan sideboard in the bedroom, an Eames rocker in the living room, a modernist desk in the study etc. You don’t want to end up with all the nice stuff in one room and all IKEA in the rest of the house.
