It's all in the details. Jennifer Baron, founder of Jennifer Baron Interiors in Houston, Texas, said she expects to see tassels and fringe on furniture and home decor. “These vintage elements of her design are still present and will be until 2024, adding texture to the space and acting as a finishing layer,” she says.
rich browns

In particular, Gulashi is keen to incorporate warm mahogany and rosewood British furniture into his design projects. “We want quality products that last a lifetime and beyond,” he says.

combine old and new
A space shouldn't lean 100% toward vintage or contemporary style, says Emily June Spanos, founder of Emily June Designs, also in Houston. He says it's all about achieving an artistic combination. “That might mean updating heirloom upholstered furniture with more modern patterns or replacing old cushions with new ones,” she explains. Have another idea? Spanos suggests pairing traditional moldings and trim with on-trend wallpaper. She adds, “The possibilities are endless, but the trick is to find ways to incorporate your vintage items and traditional details from your home into your current decor.”
One easy way to do this is to incorporate vintage chairs into your existing space, says Kelly Riley, founder of June Taylor Shop in Lakeland, Florida. “Look for North Carolina-made upholstered chairs and sofas from Baker, Sheryl, Lowe, Pearson, Craftmaster and more. Look for ones made with timeless fabrics and perfectly preserved.” she suggests.
quilt display
Embrace the cottagecore vibe! Will Hunt Lewis, founder of Hunt & Bloom in Houston, says quilting is having a big moment these days. “These precious homespun and handmade treasures quickly became fashionable, not only for the home but also for clothing,” says Lewis. Of course, you can display it above your bed or sofa, but when it's not in use, it's a great decoration, Lewis explains. he says: “I love keeping large antique baskets filled to the brim with vintage quilts conveniently placed in my library or den for easy access to shelter from the cold or just a cozy spot.”

“In 2024, bring a sculptural feel,” says Gray Walker, founder of Gray Walker Interiors in Charlotte, North Carolina. She loves her classic Eclipse stool. You can find many replicas online at different price points. “This versatile Art Deco piece is enriched with aesthetic geometric patterns and has the ability to reinvent itself over the years,” says the designer.
colorful prints
In 2024, don't shy away from beautiful, boldly patterned textiles. “I especially like anything that brings the warm, humid Southern outdoors. Trellis, big bold florals, and playful toiles are perfect for vintage home designs,” he says. Linda Iles, founder of Linda Iles Design in Houston.
