One of the easiest ways to combine decorating styles is to use lighting! To add aesthetic appeal, place a vintage lamp on a modern table. Antique sconces or Edison bulbs can be used to add drama and warmth to your place. To add some variety, hang a chandelier in a coastal-style bathroom, a Scandinavian-style nursery, or a bohemian-style bedroom.

• Consider  Antique Seating in the Kitchen

If you have a modern kitchen, antique seating can help give the space a vintage feel. Use vintage stools next to a granite, cement, or marble countertop to create an eye-catching contrast. Vintage seating can easily add character to your kitchen without spoiling the space, even if your shelving and appliances are ultra-modern.

• Add vintage rugs

If you’re still not sure how to combine antique and modern styles, a vintage rug is an easy way to start. In an otherwise modern space, use a Persian rug to anchor an antique chest. Alternatively, a Turkish rug may be used to contrast boho plants with modern furniture. Using a rug from a different design age is a simple and effective way to freshen up your decor.
