, featured below!)Ideas for Your New Room
Add antique (or antique-looking) furniture, like a writing desk - perhaps in front of a window - where you can scribble your memories in a journal. Vintage suitcases (when stacked) and trunks double as furniture, and work well as nightstands, side tables, or simply extra storage placed against a wall or the foot of the bed.
Don't forget the walls! You may want to add your own vintage photos from family members, your great-grandparents for example, or prints or paintings of famous travel destinations, like the Eiffel Tower. Also, antique maps are a wonderful addition to any room, especially one with a travel theme. They work well as large prints hung above a headboard. Use a variety of frames, for more of a vintage look.
All of these suggestions are illustrated below with featured décor from neutral but elegant comforters and vintage suitcases to beautiful art prints and vintage toys.
Have fun, and enjoy your new room!
