One of the best things about vintage decoration is that it always feels like luxury even though it is quite inexpensive to make. The best approach to equipping your bedroom with vintage accessories is to scavenge through your old furniture and start its reparation or restoration. An old armchair rejuvenated with a bit of paint, will be an excellent visual addition for your bedroom. Same goes for some old closets or nightstands.

In disguising your room vintage, you first need to dress its largest surfaces. Paint your walls in white, light blue or green in order to push it a bit in this direction. Another solution would be to get a wallpaper of the same or similar color. Add some matching drapes around the windows and some additional stylish wall hooks. 

After this is done, all you have to do is add a suiting carpet and what you get is a completely different room. As we were told by the people behind Miss Amara, a well-chosen rug brings many practical benefits. Apart from looking aesthetically appealing, a quality carpet also protects your floor from constant traffic. If one lives in an apartment it muffles the noises from the apartment downstairs and during winter it significantly raises the temperature in the room.
