1. 1970s & 1980s Retro Revival
While mid-century modern has been a favorite for years, the 1970s and 1980s are now gaining popularity. Think bold lacquered furniture, postmodern designs, Memphis-style pieces, and colorful statement décor.
2. Heirloom-Quality Craftsmanship
Handmade furniture, handwoven textiles, and original artisan pieces from the 18th and 19th centuries are regaining popularity for their durability and unique charm.
3. Eclectic Grandmillennial Aesthetic
The “grandmillennial” trend, a mix of traditional elegance with a modern twist, it is beginning to include more ornate antique elements. Expect floral patterns, needlepoint, chinoiserie, and antique silverware to make a comeback in stylish homes.
4. Industrial & Rustic Elements
Vintage industrial furniture—factory carts, aged metal cabinets, and reclaimed wood tables—continues to be a favorite for loft and farmhouse-style interiors.
5. Vintage Tech & Collectibles
Old-school gadgets like rotary phones, typewriters, and early gaming consoles are in high demand. First-generation Apple products and classic film cameras are always hot.
6. Statement Antique Jewelry
Vintage jewelry, from Art Deco diamond rings to chunky 1980s gold chains, are popular.
7. Sustainable & Repurposed Antiques
With sustainability being a hot buzzword, many collectors are choosing antiques as a way to decorate. Restored and repurposed vintage items—such as old doors turned into tables or salvaged wood furniture are popping up everywhere.
