Are you a certified follower of fashion when it comes to your home? Do you care more interiors fashion than you do about what happens on the catwalks in Fashion Week? If any of this sounds familiar, you will spend more time updating your soft furnishings than you do the contents of your wardrobe. If that’s the case, you most likely want to keep up to date with what’s fashionable in the home for 2020, and one of the critical things to look out for is the resurgence in popularity of vintage furniture.
But just why is it becoming popular again? We’re taking a look at some of the main reasons vintage pieces will be firmly back in fashion by the end of 2020. Read on to find out what they are…
1. We love the classics
When we say vintage furniture is coming back in fashion, we don’t mean ALL vintage furniture. The ones you will see popping up in stylish magazines and on the social media profiles you love will be in a classic style that has been loved for years. In order to come back ‘in’ they must be of a style which is popular with enough people in the first place or else it will be consigned to the history books in the ‘what were we thinking’ category.
2. Fashions repeat
Have you ever kept an item of clothing that is quite distinctive of its time, only to find that you would be uber-chic were you to wear it again in the years to come? The same things happen with furniture because tastes and styles are cyclical. Firstly, we love something. Then it becomes hideously out-dated with the advent of a new style, only to find that we fall back in love with the original piece when the time is right, and tastes have done a full circle.
3. Global ethics
Never has there been more focus on the state of our environment than in 2020 and the items in your home are not spared our scrutiny. From what they are made of, to the ways products are manufactured, we care what they are and where they come from. And few things will make us feel virtuous than recycling – and that’s exactly what buying vintage furniture is. Buying retro pieces not only adds a clear statement to your interior spaces but also means that you don’t have a need for a newly made item and the old one will not end up in landfill or worse.
There is also the fact that one of the main trends is eclectic glamour, so mixing the oldie-worldie with a blend of new pieces means your home will be bang on trend for 2020. Take some inspiration online, read some magazines and find out what style you like, and then you can start to build your inventory of items to create the look you desire. It will result in a home that is unique to you and one you love to return to.
