While it's always important to honor your tastes and fill your home with meaningful decor, if you're a fan of vintage, it's worth knowing that not all pieces elevate a space; some preloved gems can date the home (and I don't mean in a good way).
Many of us rely on decorating with vintage to bring character, depth, and that all-important sense of patina. While I like to think that with some clever styling and a keen eye, almost any vintage piece can be given a trendy status, some second-hand styles can make a home feel a little tired and dated.
