vintage home trends that are now cool again

Did you know that some of today's home trends were actually totally cool a long time ago too? Here's a list of trend you may not have realized date way back:

1. woven furniture is back in style.

About 50 years later, rattan chairs, bed frames, and consoles are appearing in homes and adding extra textured accents.

2. light wood is in.

Everyone is ready to change their floors to a lighter wood again, as opposed to dark cherry tones that were the latest hit. Lighter wood tends to add a bigger + brighter feel to the space.

3. mid-century modern can be found everywhere.

The minimalist style of mid-century modern furniture with legs adds a simple + airy look. It allows you to draw attention to the table-top design without distraction from thick table legs. We are seeing this style come to life in many homes.

4. wallpaper has made a comeback.

New modern designs are adding an extra dimension to homes - with patterns, botanicals, and metallics all around.

5. wood paneling is on the rise again.

People are all about the smoother surfaces and slimmer slats.

6. macramé is back in homes.

The trend is back - but with a more minimalist look. These decor items come in the form of plant holders or flat wall hangings.

7. mosaic tiles.

Those mini tile layouts from the 50s? Don't tear them out! Mosaic tile designs are back in style and can be found almost everywhere now, for sale and in designer homes.
