These 7 Vintage Trends Are Everywhere Right Now—Here’s How Designers Style Them

Vintage home décor is no longer a rarity: renowned designers and novice decorators alike are using it to give their spaces an original touch. Whether it’s adding an antique lamp or curating a shelf display, each piece tells a story of decades past.

As vintage décor becomes commonplace, there are certain trends that people can’t seem to get enough of. Here, designers share seven that are everywhere right now—and how to style them in your own home.

Statement Glass

Glass is stepping into the spotlight with statement pieces, bringing shine and sparkle. "Designers are leaning into vintage and artisan-made glass to add texture, color, and that collected-over-time feel that makes a home sing," says interior designer Linda Hayslett. "The magic is in the soulfulness of it."

Hayslett finds that people are particularly drawn to textured glass pendants, ribbed or etched cabinet fronts, and bold vases in jewel tones. "These pieces are basically the jewelry of interiors, catching the light and creating those little moments of artistry that make a space feel special," she says.

Vintage Plates as Artwork

Using plates as wall décor certainly isn't a new concept, but it's been gaining more traction as of late—especially when it comes to vintage finds.

"[Plates] are usually [inexpensive], so it's easy to create a really interesting and unexpected gallery wall—or simply add them to a wall with other mediums of art," says Kate Pearce, interior stylist and founder of Kate Pearce Vintage.

Art Deco Details

Tastes are shifting in favor of all things Art Deco; however, Hayslett notes that this isn’t your grandmother’s glam.

"After years of pared-down minimalism, people are craving bold geometry, shiny finishes, and dramatic silhouettes that feel fresh, not fussy," she says. "The appeal is all about instant impact: These elements layer in history, richness, and a little bit of theater, without ever feeling over the top."

Hayslett is seeing geometric patterns, lacquered finishes, and warm metals like brass or bronze getting a lot of love from vintage shops. "Sculptural lighting with confident lines is having a real moment, too," she adds.

Stripped-Down Wood Furniture

While painted vintage furniture was popular in past years, people are now taking a more pared-back approach to wood furnishings.

"[They're] really leaning away from painting those old pieces, or leaving them with paint on them if they came that way," Pearce says. "Whether it's a dresser, coffee table, or any other vintage piece that's made of wood, it's getting stripped and stained instead of painted."

Natural Stone

Natural stone is experiencing a renaissance, but not in the cookie-cutter way we're used to. "Think old-world charm—the kind you see strolling through Rome, Venice, Paris, or Spain—where stone feels lived-in, full of character, and rich with history," Hayslett says. "People love how it grounds a space and gives it a sense of permanence."

Honed marble, travertine, and limestone with natural veining are catching people's eye—whether in carved stone sinks, fluted fireplace surrounds, or even checkerboard floors, she adds.

Wavy Silhouettes

Curvaceous furniture has been popular for the past few years, and it's not taking a backseat anytime soon. "Whether it's a Jean Royere chair or a postmodern Memphis piece, those soft curves are popping up everywhere," says Pearce.

The silhouette—found in serpentine sectionals, scalloped edges, or circular side tables—adds a sense of approachability to spaces, while keeping things elevated. "There’s definitely a nostalgic wink to mid-century and ’70s design here, but with a cleaner, modern twist," Hayslett says.

Patterned Textiles

While boucle has been the upholstery of choice over the past decade, the material is starting to feel more tired than luxe. Instead, people are turning toward punchier prints.

"I'm beginning to see lots of patterned textiles pop up in both décor and furniture," Pearce says.
