Creating Vintage Style

To create a vintage feel in your beachside cottage hunt around for furniture and accessories that are unique and interesting.

Look for pieces that allow you to mix and match various style as well as the old with the new. Use a simple and restricted colour palette to help tie the various pieces together otherwise it could end up looking too busy!

Become an expert at scouring local garage sales, antique shops, flea markets and charity shops for distinctive pieces that embrace your sense of style. Use your DIY skills to breathe new life into these items by re-staining, painting and re-upholstering them.
