Whether it is a starter house, a larger home for a growing family, or a forever space that suits empty-nesters, Lariat is ready to welcome you home. Becoming a new homeowner is an exciting experience, and there are so many things to do as you transition your new house into a new home. Once the boxes are (mostly) unpacked, the fun part can begin: shopping for decor for your new home! If you're looking to make smart purchases for your home that will last, visiting local antique shops is a great option!
Let's talk antiquing 101—an antique is anything more than 100 years old. Items that are more than 20, but not yet 100 years old, are considered vintage. Antiques or vintage furniture and decor bring a rare character to your home. A quick trip to a local spot and you could walk away with a piece of historical charm.
Unique interior spaces integrate various elements – from the home’s architecture to picking up the latest styles to antique or vintage collectibles. Bringing vintage chic into the style of your home can often be more economical than purchasing all-new furniture.
Whether it's art on the walls, a unique chair, or dinnerware, your new home will be the talk of the town. You might even have fun decorating rooms with a theme – like the old west, mid-century modern, fifties Americana, or farmhouse style. Mixing antiques with modern pieces will create layers of intrigue when friends and family visit your new home for the first time.
