Incorporating antique furniture into your home is a great way to add a layer of elegance that is hard to come by with modern furniture alone. Additionally, antique purchasing can give you pieces that were built for durability as well as functionality so you will be able to keep them for years to come.

If you are considering purchasing antique pieces to add to your home, here are a few tips to help you find the best items and infuse them seamlessly into your current space:

• Turn Them Into Focal Pieces: Instead of worrying about how you can replace your current furniture with antiques, think of how you can use your modern furniture to call attention to the antique purchases you’ve made. Spread these unique pieces strategically throughout your home so the rest of your furniture highlights instead of masks them. For example, if you have a room that contains furniture in complementary colors, search for one or two antique pieces in a contrasting shades.
• Don’t Just Buy to Fill up a Space: Like most people, you probably have a style that is uniquely your own. If you take the time to search and research before starting your antique purchasing, you will be much happier with your items down the road. Take the time to figure out if a new piece matches your home’s aesthetic and will be something you will continue to love to look at.
• Group Like Objects Together: If you have a fondness for a specific type of antique furniture, grouping them together will help to give their presence more of an impact in the room where they are placed. When you start arranging them, just remember to vary the sizes and shapes so the pieces immediately draw your eye to their direction.
