10+ Stunning Antique Bedroom Decor Ideas that Will Transform Your Space!

As simple as decorating a bedroom sounds, it is far from it. You see, decorating your bedroom goes far beyond the placement of your bed and the storage capacity of the cupboards that line the walls. It goes beyond the “his and hers” closet and leaves the new adjoining office space far from being considered.

While I speak from experience now, I too was among the “bed? done. curtains? done. storage? done. The perfect room is here,” crowd. However, I have begun to explore the boundaries of what makes a bedroom truly your own over the last couple of years, and I’m delighted to say that I’ve found what makes it unique!

Can I incorporate these Antique Bedroom Decor Ideas Into My Home Right Away?

While all sorts of accents can be placed around a bedroom to make it whole and your own, very few kinds of decor truly transform the space from a drab resting room to a regal and relaxing haven to settle into at the end of each day.

And one of those decor styles is Antique Bedroom Decor! The radiant gold tones, the warmth from carved wooden panels and vintage artefacts resurrected make for a stunning space indeed! The best part? Each of these elements can be effortlessly integrated into your existing decor, be it eclectic, contemporary, or minimalistic!

So let’s dive right in and explore the numerous ways in which we can make the most of our space with these Antique Bedroom Decor Ideas!

Antique Bedroom Decor Ideas –

Time For Tangerines!

This stunning perspective into Reshma Kadvath’s space fills us with warmth at first sight. There’s a lot of inspiration to be found, from the floral and arabesque prints on her fabrics to the beautiful raw wooden finishes on her lamp and chair!

In addition to the wooden pieces, we also spot gorgeous Dhokra-style frames lined up on her wall, next to a beautiful brass planter, to add a touch of gold to the space!

Reds and Whites!

We love how Parvathy Girish has set up her bedroom with whites to create a soothing ambience and pops of colour from red fabrics! The wooden accent that hangs on the wall behind the bed and the gorgeous golden jug that holds floral forages perfectly show us how vintage pieces from the past can easily be integrated into the decor!

Her second bedroom space also follows a general white theme with stunning pops of colour from the Madhubani paintings and the antique effect from the cylindrical vessel that holds bright pink florals!

The Eclectic Mish-Mash

You might wonder how antique bedroom decor ideas can be found in an eclectic home, but Himanshi is here to prove you wrong! Her bedroom decor is a perfect mix of numerous styles that add pops of colour and reflect light in the space! But this gorgeous corner with an ornate and arabesque mirror frame paired with bright candle stands brings in a new vibe!

Pichwai on our Pillows

When looking into antique bedroom decor ideas, one can assume beautifully painted boards hung on walls and cushions strewn over window seats. But what if we told you that you could achieve the same aesthetic with painted Pichwai cushions?

Jyoti Malude creates these gorgeous pieces of art with a steady hand to invite the yesteryear charm into her home! The stunning fabrics paired with the vibrant colour palette are simply breathtaking!

Brass Trays Become Tables!

At Shaoni’s home, vintage and antique elements are thoroughly appreciated for their little nuances and subtle storytelling alike! Take this gorgeous brass tray that becomes a bedside table, for instance! It not only radiates warmth from the reflections upon the metal but also gives a serene spiritual vibe owing to the little candle holder placed upon it!

This little corner from the same space is an eclectic mix of eras with the meshed window, the vibrant cushions, the wooden candle stands and the little lantern that hangs above!

Masks, Paintings, and Pots!

Bhakti Achhara has pulled all the stops when it comes to making the most of her brass and bronze collections while incorporating them into the decor! Her spaces exude so much warmth, for instance, this gorgeous frame where we see the wooden pillar against the wall, the beautiful water pot turned bedside lamp and the radiant kunda that is now a planter.

And in this layout, we are privy to the stunning masks and artefacts that add so much warmth to the room! We spot a prabhavali to the left, the stunning wooden-stemmed lamp and even a hanging lamp that dangles on the right side of the wall!

A Farm Stay with Views Inside and Out!

Velanga Orchard by Karthik and Nikita is a Farmstay project located at Bodabandla in Andhra Pradesh! While farm stays might seem like a commonality these days, Karthik and Nikita being quite the artists and collectors at heart, refuse for it to be so. So what makes the decor at Velanga Orchard so different from the rest, you ask?

For starters, the couple has collected each of the antique pieces that go into decorating these cottages at the location over many years. And each of these gorgeous pieces was given a permanent home in these stunning cottages for all those who visit to appreciate and admire!

They admit that it was no easy task, what with the lack of suitable carpenters to work with, but today, the property is a fractal in a lens that allows one to see far back in time and revel in all the restored art it offers!

Portals through time, indeed!

Where Art Meets Spirituality!

Shoba Ramesh’s decor style always has a healthy mix of vibrant hues and lush greens to contrast them! Not to forget a healthy addition of brass and bronze that oh so effortlessly steal our hearts! The same gorgeous tones seep in when it comes to her bedroom decor, with elements such as stunning Tanjore Panels and beautiful statuettes themed around her elegant framed cot that speaks volumes about antique styles!

Umm…Thanks for the Antique Bedroom Decor Ideas But Where Can I Find Them?

Our first answer would be brass and bronze heirlooms! Do not give them away, sell them, or abandon them! Heirlooms speak of love, care and generations of use and make for great additions to decor!

Secondly, look for stores that collect and curate brass, bronze and wooden heirlooms! Ancient Madurai does that for you, so do check our website shop or put in a request for a piece you wish to find, and we’ll do our best to procure it for you!

Thirdly, reach out to artists familiar with ethnic art styles that are open to sharing their paintings with you!

And lastly, it helps to have carpenters that can customise your space based on your needs. Sometimes, a wooden pillar or bracket doesn’t fit as well as it should, and a vintage Jarokha frame needs some care and customisation! That’s when you’ll need them to come to the rescue!

We would also highly recommend collecting vintage and antique pieces over time, just as all these wonderful decor enthusiasts have! If you see it and like it, you might as well get it before it is gone!
