A collected, characterful home tends to be filled with vintage gems and embraces all things second-hand, be it furniture, decor, or fabrics. Recently, it's the latter that has caught my eye, as I've noticed heritage patterns cropping up everywhere, adorning walls, furniture, floors and more.

Decorating with pattern is a failsafe way to enhance a room with beautiful visual interest, elegantly lifting a scheme with movement, color and, most of all, personality. Of course, when decorating with vintage, many nostalgic prints offer a wonderfully timeless feel, and over the last few years, more and more of us are opting for a more classic look when it comes to choosing patterns for the home.
