You'll often find me lingering around the endless shelves of miscellaneous treasures that thrift stores have to offer, be it textiles, ornaments, or vintage art. And I am usually shopping with one room in mind – my living room. This is the space I am always on the hunt for vintage pieces to give more character and personality. It's the room I find the easiest to introduce second-hand buys into, as it doesn't have all the practicalities of a kitchen or potentially limited space like a bathroom.
So, in order to make my shopping more streamlined and focused, I asked interior designers exactly what second-hand pieces to buy at a thrift store to elevate my living room. The answers were so insightful, and varied so I've created a list of the top five thrifted finds designers promise will level up your lounge.
