Using vintage, bespoke, and custom pieces in your home will create a unique space that expresses your personal style. But just because you already own vintage or heirloom furniture, doesn’t mean you’re obligated to keep them. If a piece is in disrepair or doesn’t fit with your design style, it’s OK to let it go. If you have family heirlooms that hold sentimental value, consider passing them to another family member who will also appreciate them. Or, look at having items refinished to match your design style. With the right colour and materials, an updated antique may become one of your favourite pieces.
