When creating this look there are no set rules. Ideally you want to use antiques, second-hand furniture or new pieces deliberately distress to look used.

Key pieces include crytal chandeliers, wrought iron furniture, comfortable armchairs. Go for wallpaper, furs and curtains if your after a European vintage look.

Opt for colours that create a casual touch and create the base of a classic vintage look. Richer and darker colours like burgundy, purple, black and gold add character.

There are no rules on putting the pieces together. It is important to visualize the impact of your pieces when placed together. Pick a family of colours and vary them slightly. If we were using white we would be looking at egg shell, cream, caramel etc.
