Looking to the past, rather than following fleeting current trends, is one of the best ways to inspire a truly unique home design. From retro furniture to antique ceramics, it's long been known that the best homes decorate with vintage – they mix and match, blending different eras to create rooms that are timeless.

While every era has its hits and misses, the 1800s were filled with inventive, beautiful, well-made design additions that continue to feel just as timeless as they did over two hundred years ago.
