Garage Sale Season is Here – But Designers Warn These Are the 5 Things You Need to Know Before Picking Up a Bargain

Vintage kitchen with white walls, an alcove with Delft tiles, a range oven tucked in, an antique painting of a seascape, antique candlesticks and a fruit bowl beneath.

Warmer days are upon us, so it's only natural to want to spend as much time as possible outside. While to some, the ideal summer day consists of doing very little, to me (and quirky homeware lovers like me), it's spending time in an old house (or garage) sifting through once-loved knick-knacks that need a new home.

Whether you enjoy decorating with vintage or you're keen to snoop around for a bargain, garage sales are filled with all kinds of unexpected treasures that are perfect for every type of shopper.
