How Vintage Inspired Fall Decor Adds Character to Your Home

Looking for some autumn decor inspiration? Mixing vintage pieces in with your fall decor adds warmth and character to your home. Take a look at how I used my vintage treasures to decorate for the fall season.

I never really realized how many vintage pieces I have in my home.

Before we moved into our 100-year-old house 8 years ago, I only had an antique table that my mom gave me, and a hope chest from my childhood.

When planning the series of house renovations, we knew it would be imperative to keep the character of our 1920 home. So it seemed only natural to gravitate towards vintage accessories and furniture anytime I went shopping.

My Favorite Vintage Decor Items for Fall

Some of my favorite vintage fall decor items around the house…

• Vintage Scales
• Stacked suitcases
• Silver trays and pitchers
• Anything Ironstone
• Wicker picnic baskets
• Galvanized buckets
• Copper accessories
• Crocks

Vintage Scales

I have a compulsion really. Every time I see a vintage scale in an antique or thrift shop I want to buy it. It doesn’t matter that I have about 10 or more in my home already.

Vintage scales are perfect for any fall kitchen vignette.

This antique hanging scale was just waiting for me to take it home a couple of months ago. I love that you can change out the decor so easily from season to season for an entirely new look.

Vintage Containers

It doesn’t matter if it’s a galvanized bucket, a copper pitcher, or a safety phlare pump. Vintage containers are always a great way to show off elements from the outdoors.

Crocks are another great vintage item to show off your fall blooms and branches.

I don’t know how I went without a crock in my home until just last year. These vintage beauties just scream fall, don’t they?

Vintage Wicker Baskets

Baskets are a wonderful starting point when creating an autumn vignette or styling a shelf. 

Chances are if I see a wicker picnic basket in a shop that is in decent condition, I will be taking it home with me.

Baskets like these are so versatile and look great in any season.

I just found this cute little basket, which I was told is a worm basket. It’s awfully cute!

Suitcases are great for stacking and adding height to any fall vignette. I also love using a stack of them as a fun end table.
