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.

Did you know one Sunday a month, the Champs-ÉlyséeDid you know one Sunday a month, the Champs-Élysées closes to traffic entirely?
No cars. Just people, walking straight down the center with the Arc de Triomphe ahead. Then I walked home over The Seine. It had just rained, and the sky was doing something extraordinary. And of course, the Eiffel Tower showed up right on cue.
Paris on a quiet Sunday is something else. 🖤

This St Germain apartment, designed by Félix Millo This St Germain apartment, designed by Félix Millory @felixmillory , is defined by two things: a tightly controlled material palette and a sculptural art collection that runs through every room without exception.
Travertine frames every doorway. Dark smoked oak covers the joinery and cabinetry. Grey marble runs across the kitchen counters and island. Within that framework, figurative sculptures on the shelves, a large totemic piece at the entrance, stone forms on the dining table, a large-format artwork in the kitchen. Every room has at least one object that demands your attention. 🗿
→ Save this if you’re designing around a sculpture collection.
