What is Vintage-Style Art?
Vintage-style art is classical, simple, and lovely. Itโs inspired by the small-scale romantic oil paintings and impressionist movement of the 19th century. Our favorite pieces feature beautiful pastoral scenes and capture the simple moments of everyday life. Colors can be lush or muted and the art is often framed in gold or silver tones.

How to Decorate with Vintage-Style Art
Vintage-style art will bring a collected feel to your interiors which in turn will make the space feel cozy, warm, and inviting. If you love to hang art, we recommend hanging two pieces together, whether that is side by side or stacked. This allows you to make more impact with smaller pieces of art. You can also include vintage-style art in a gallery wall to add color and fill in space where you might be missing some color.
We love the trend of using small-scale vintage style art in the kitchen. A little landscape piece looks so charming leaned against your backsplash or on an open shelf. If you are struggling to fill your open shelving, add one or two framed vintage-style art pieces to bring in some color. Be sure to keep art away from your oven or sink.

Donโt limit yourself to styling small-scale vintage-style art on your kitchen counter. It also looks incredible on open shelving in the living room or an office. Pair it with your favorite books, vases, candles, or styling beads for the ultimate impact.

How to Pair Pieces of Vintage-Style Art
Pairing art isnโt as hard as you might think! If you are working with an abstract piece and vintage style art, select pieces that have similar color stories and wonโt clash. When putting two vintage-style art pieces together, select items from the same collections or with similar subjects. Similar subjects within the art creates cohesion.

The kitchen is divided into three working zones, with the dining table right in the middle and the scullery at the end intentionally left open. Nothing is closed off from the rest of the space. Hereโs the thinking behind each of those decisions.
