Afraid of Looking Dated? How to Blend Old and New in Your Home Ep #42
Ever feel like something’s missing in a room that’s all new? Like it’s technically right—but it doesn’t feel quite alive?
In this episode of YourHome by Design, we’re talking about the magic that antiques and vintage pieces bring into a home—not just visually, but emotionally and energetically. I’ll share why old things matter in a well-designed space, how they can support your well-being, and what neuroscience has to say about story-rich interiors.
We’ll explore five common design struggles people face when trying to incorporate vintage items—and for each one, I’ve got a grounded design tip to help you move forward with confidence.
Plus, a fun challenge: next time you're flipping through a design magazine, see if you can spot how vintage pieces are quietly elevating the look and feel of high-end interiors.
Whether you're a lover of old things or just starting to experiment, this episode will give you a fresh lens and a few creative nudges to bring history, depth, and contrast into your home.
