Embracing 2023 Interior Design Trend: Old is Better Than New

January 10, 2023
  • Share

January is the time that many people start looking for ways to refresh their homes and incorporate the latest interior design trends. One trend that is gaining popularity for 2023 is the idea that old is better than new. This trend celebrates the beauty and character of vintage and antique pieces, and encourages people to incorporate them into their modern spaces. Some creative ways include recycled stone and recovered furniture with vintage fabrics.

I discovered this small cozy kitchen in a 17th-century cottage that is featured above. The charming home is owned by Milli Proust, a floral designer in West Sussex. She wanted the country living experience. I love the kitchen design that features crafted cabinets from an old wardrobe left by previous owners. Learn more about the benefits of integrating vintage designs in modern interiors.

Why Shop Vintage?

There are several reasons why old is better than new when it comes to interior design. First, vintage and antique pieces often have uniqueness and character that cannot be found in newer items. These pieces can add depth and interest to a space and can tell a story about the past.

Second, embracing the old is better than new trend is a sustainable choice. These pieces are also often better for the environment. Many newer products are made with cheap, low-quality materials that are not built to last. These materials often end up in landfills, where they can take hundreds of years to decompose. On the other hand, vintage and antique pieces are often made with higher-quality materials that are built to last. By choosing these pieces, you can help to reduce the demand for new, low-quality products and decrease the amount of waste in landfills

Third, incorporating vintage and antique pieces into your home can also be a financial investment. Many of these pieces increase in value over time, making them a smart choice for those looking to add value to their home.

As a lover of vintage and antique pieces, I can’t resist the opportunity to hunt for unique and character-filled items at estate sales. Beverly Hills is a particularly fun place to go vintage shopping for home decor, as the area is known for its high-end estate sales and beautiful homes. Whether I’m on the hunt for a statement piece or just looking to add some vintage charm to my home, I always leave these sales feeling inspired and satisfied with my finds. If you’re in the Beverly Hills area and love vintage decor as much as I do, I highly recommend checking out some local estate sales.

Before you start moving furniture, ask yourself thBefore you start moving furniture, ask yourself these three questions:
Does this improve the room’s function?
Does it create a better focal point?
Does it make the space easier to walk through?
If the answer is “no” to all three, maybe it’s just the rearranging itch talking. 😅
Save this for the next time you’re tempted to move every piece of furniture in your house.
Watch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? TWatch to the end to weigh in. Clogs or no clogs? They are on sale...not sure.
Summer sale season is here, and we are not holding back. 👏
This is the time of year to finally grab those pieces you’ve been eyeing all season. The good news? Major markdowns are happening right now across some of the best brands.
Our tip: Shop with intention. Know your palette, know your fit, and choose pieces that work with what you already own, not just because they’re on sale.
We’ve already done the hard work and created a Summer Sale Shopping Board filled with our favorite finds. A Shopping Board is like your own storefront. It’s a curated collection of products you can shop yourself or share with others to earn when they purchase through your links.
✨ Want to make it yours?
Comment SALE and we’ll send you the link. Then just tap “Add This Board” to save it to your Chirpyest account.
Or grab the link here 👉 https://www.chirpyest.com/s/cocoedit/summer-sale-2026/2071?mode=share
From there, you can shop the collection, share it with your audience, earn from your recommendations, and get cashback on your own purchases. 💛

A 90s home in Amman, Jordan, entirely remodelled by local artisans. Neo-Florentine bones, Levant-eclectic sensibility, arched passageways, and a flea-market-meets-commissioned-art collection that makes every wall feel intentional.
What makes it work: restraint where you’d expect excess, and boldness where you’d expect safety.
This is what happens when a home is built by people who actually know the place. 🖤
Save this, it’s a masterclass in culturally rooted design.

If you only have 10 minutes, focus on these three things:
1. Make the bed. It instantly makes the whole room look cleaner.
2. Fold or straighten the throw blanket and pillows.
3. Clear visible clutter from nightstands and the floor.
That’s it. Those three steps make the biggest visual impact without deep cleaning.
Save this for the next time you need a fast bedroom reset. 🔖

Black is not a bold choice. It’s a neutral, and one of the most versatile ones in design.
The rooms that get it right treat black the same way others treat white or greige: as a foundation that lets everything else breathe. The texture of the wall. The warmth of the wood. The drama of the marble. Black doesn’t compete, it amplifies.
Save this the next time someone talks you out of going dark. 🖤
