Lots of people like vintage-style interiors because they are light, airy and unfussy. For many, this look gives their home a bit of romance. And for many others, it takes them back to a simpler place in time. With a classic look you will often see a blend of butterflies and off-whites (which provides that light and airy texture ), but you can also incorporate pops of colour into this style to create a look that’s surprising and personal for you.

I love posters. Many are exploding with lovely colour combinations that can really brighten up an whole room. Start looking for one large poster or arrange a bunch of smaller ones. You can find a large selection at Allposters.com.
Another fun, whimsical way to add colour is with classic wallpaper. You can also use contact paper or scrapbooking paper and apply several pieces to make a collage.
