Modern Vintage Interior Design, Fad, or Trend?

Is decorating your home with vintage a fad or trend? Lets take a closer look at what defines each one when it comes to modern vintage interior design.

A fad is typically something short lived, most times it’s driven by consumer whims.  Well, design fads are no different, they come and go relatively quickly with hardly any lasting impact on practices or preferences. On the other hand, a design trend, tends to have a more lasting presence, evolving over time and influencing broader design movements.

Vintage interior designs popularity has remained strong over the years, with elements of vintage style and of past eras constantly re-emerging in modern design. Its lasting appeal is in its ability to evoke memories, add character, honor history, and create a sense of timelessness in your favorite spaces.

Not to mention that vintage is also eco-friendly, In a world where being eco-conscious is more important than ever, vintage décor and vintage interior design fit right in.

Its easy to see that decorating with vintage is not just a fleeting fad thats here today and gone tomorrow. In our opinion, modern vintage design is an ongoing trend that is will be with us forever.

Respect for Craftsmanship, Artistry
