I love the look of antiques and modern designs converging in a space. Antiques bring charm and character, while modern sensibilities offer a clean, fresh palette. When the two come together, magic happens.
If you feel like your home is lacking character, one of the best things you can do is check out flea markets and thrift stores. Some of the best finds can be discovered there and it always feels like it’s one-of-a-kind. Even if it needs a little refurbishing, there’s little a can of spray paint can’t fix.
The end result is something truly special that will make your home feel unique and more personal.
Here are 10 examples of antiques in modern spaces. They show how even just one or two antiques can make a space come alive with character.
The antique mirrors are the perfect touch in this modern bathroom to give it a unique flair.
This living room is greatly juxtaposed between modern and historical touches. The balance was perfectly captured.
Industrial light fixtures, stainless steel appliances and subway tile are infused with character when paired with a rustic island.

This room is the epitome of modern, except for the antique chest and stool that add wonderful touches of character.
The very modern dining table and chairs create an interesting story when paired with very traditional, glamorous accents.
This living room is well-balanced between modern and antique influences to create a warm and inviting space.
A modern bed meets antique accents to create a charming, masculine atmosphere.
The next time you’re thinking a space could use some charm, start by looking into the past for some inspiration.
Warm regards,
