At Pooja Khandelwal Interiors, we adore how blending well-chosen vintage pieces with modern elements can create a timeless and captivating home.

Here’s your ultimate guide to infusing retro touches into your space with Pooja Khandelwal Interiors:

Discovering Your Vintage Style: 

Vintage style spans various eras and aesthetics. Do you lean towards the sleek minimalism of Mid-Century Modern, the playful patterns of the 70s, or the refined elegance of Art Deco? Identifying your preferred vintage style will shape your hunt and ensure a cohesive look.

Tip from Pooja Khandelwal : Explore flea markets, antique shops, and online platforms for inspiration. Pinterest and design blogs are treasure troves too!

Hunting for Vintage Gems:

Imperfections often add to the charm of vintage gems. Here are some places to unearth treasures:

• Thrift Stores & Flea Markets: Keep your eyes peeled for one-of-a-kind finds at bargain prices.

• Antique Stores: For curated selections with authenticity guaranteed, antique stores are ideal.
