Furnishing a home today can be costly in terms of both time and money. Supply chain issues and rising prices can quickly turn the fun of decorating and updating into a nightmare of sky-high expense and long waits for deliveries.

Many homeowners are turning to vintage furnishings instead, a term that applies to anything more than 20 or 30 years old. As reported by the Philadelphia Inquirer, instead of viewing vintage finds as “old” today’s vintage enthusiasts see them as a chance to add personality, flair and distinction to their homes. They appreciate the history and workmanship that has gone into each piece. Many see buying vintage as a way to support sustainability, by not using resources to produce new furniture. Ready to dip your toe into the vintage market? Here are some tips from The Spruce. Happy hunting!
