One more trend that promises to come with everything in 2023 is decoration with an antique feel. The environment that seems to best embody the style is the quarto. For those who like the idea, know that it is possible to play with compositions and bring elements retro or, for the more daring, completely transform the room into a time capsule and transport yourself to the era of French Baroque (hello, Versailles!).
Below, we list nine decorations for “old rooms” and indicate the main objects for you to explore and renovate the decor in your home. Get inspired!
vintage headboard
Undoubtedly it is the headboard that brings the romantic and antique look to this room. The mirror with a rococo frame and surface deteriorated by time is very charming. However, it does not act alone. The aesthetic is enhanced by the chandelier and the paintings above the side table.
iron bed
A simpler style to incorporate that can also be used in the guest room. The iron bed, the protagonist of the scene, has already shown signs of returning to the status of furniture desire in decor in recent years. In this environment, to further ensure the retro air, the lamp and side table were essential. But be sure to notice the choice of bed linen and roses. After all, details matter, yes!

antique wardrobe
It is even difficult to elect a detail as the main actor of this decoration, but the small wardrobe ended up winning the close competition. Maybe because of the finish or the free space above that holds the domes of the pendants – another accessory that catches the eye. Armchair, fireplace, iron bed and blankets complete the decor with mastery.
retro wallpaper
The floral aesthetic carries romanticism and the vintage touch we are looking for. In this wallpaper, it arrives with striking but light colors. The rattan, present on the armchair and on the headboard, completes the look. Liked?
Canopy
Another element that takes us directly to the French baroque is the canopy. Little present in modern decorations, the element is total charm. Part of content creators Beau and Matt’s bedroom from @probablythisthe environment also gained a rattan pendant and the green on the wall with a vintage look.
floral aesthetics
On the wallpaper, by Nicholas Herbert, on the bed, from The French Depot, in the recamier… In every detail, it is possible to find prints of flowers in this decor. The old room also bets on a romantic color palette, glass dome lamp, chandeliers and paintings with a retro footprint. A time capsule signed by designer Pearl Lowe.
Table mirror
In this little corner of the dressing table, already quite vintage, the highlight is the folding table mirror, by the Swiss Stromshaga. The charming object also includes a pendant, a vase of flowers and a floral bag. The space was conceived by content creator Emma Johansson.
Recamier
The vintage chest gained the function of a recamier in this old room, but it doesn’t shine alone. To compose the space with a vintage aesthetic, the duo of rugs, the antique mirror, the canopy and the armchair were indispensable. A modern retro!
cupboard
It’s not exactly the sideboard that guarantees the old decor, but the whole corner that receives the furniture. Around here, the elements we highlighted throughout this article shine: wallpaper, mirrors (in a composition that is beyond charming!), lampshades, the stool and even the jewelry holder. The project signed by the designer Alaina Michelle Ralph and by architect Myles Trudell completes this list with a flourish.
