Vintage furniture and vintage decor have a special ability to bring character, warmth, and a sense of history into a home. By mixing old favorites with modern design, you create a personal interior where every detail tells a story. At Jakobsdals, we love vintage because it adds soul to a home - and because it makes every room feel a little more alive. As we like to say, we mix the new with the beautifully worn.
What is vintage interior?
Vintage is about more than just old furniture. It’s a style where design, history, and craftsmanship meet. Vintage furniture and vintage decor are often at least 20-30 years old and represent a specific era, design style, or feeling. Our vintage furniture is around 80 years old and mainly comes from India, carefully handpicked by our amazing purchasing team. It can be anything from a beautiful wooden coffee table, a patinated mirror, a unique wooden bowl, or a chair with soft, sculptural shapes. What they all have in common is that each piece carries its own story - something that makes a home feel more personal and alive. 
Create a personal home with vintage furniture
A home filled only with new furniture can sometimes feel a little too perfect. Vintage pieces break that up and create balance. A vintage chair in the living room, an old side table in the bedroom, or a rustic bench in the hallway can quickly become the natural focal point of the room. They add depth, character, and a sense of authenticity that is hard to recreate with entirely newly produced interiors. Vintage also makes it easier to create a home that truly feels like yours - completely personal. 🤎
Vintage decor - the small details that makes a difference
It’s often the details that set the mood in a room. Vintage decor can be anything from bowls and serving platters to candle holders. By mixing vintage with modern pieces, you create a dynamic and interesting interior. A new sofa can take on a completely new expression when paired with a vintage vase or a patinated tray. It’s not about filling a home with old things - it’s about choosing a few carefully selected pieces that give the room personality and make it entirely your own. 
Sustainable interior with history
One of the reasons we love vintage is its sustainability. Giving furniture and decor a new life is a more conscious way to decorate. The pieces are often made from durable materials and crafted with techniques built to last. By combining them with new favorites, you create an interior that feels both thoughtful and timeless.
Why we love vintage at Jakobsdals
At Jakobsdals, interior design is all about creating homes with feeling. Vintage furniture and decor fit perfectly into that philosophy. They bring depth, warmth, and a unique character to a space - something that simply can’t be replicated. We’re often inspired by the blend of new and old, where modern design meets timeless shapes and every room gets its own story to tell. That’s why we always mix vintage with new pieces in our collection, in our showroom, and at our fairs 🤎
