1. Be Thrifty: Make sure to check out charity shops and car boot sales.
2. Don't be afraid to clash colours!
3. Do some research: If you want a real authentic vintage home, look up old interior books and magazines, you might come across some iconic pieces of an era.
4. Get Creative: Vintage is vintage, but with a little TLC anything can be as good as new.
5. Be Yourself: Your home should be a treasure trove of all your things and a reflection of your personality, so get it all out and HAVE FUN!!
