Fashion week is happening across the street from Toronto Antiques on King, which makes us feel, by osmosis, that we are watching trends as they happen. However, we don’t need to see the goings-on across the street to know that vintage is trending. Antiques are in! Interior decorators have always loved mixing old with new to add depth and intrigue to a design concept. Now popular style gurus such as Jessica Quirk (what I wore) are advocating blending vintage clothes with new pieces.
The April edition of Style at Home shows that antique tones such as soft pinks, gold gilding and brass are trendy in home decor. Style at Home Stylist Jessica Waks borrowed some beautiful vintage pink perfume bottles and a Wedgewood terracotta tea set from the Toronto Antiques on King collection. Waks also appeared on yesterday’s CityLine episode to showcase rose gold, antique tones and our terracotta Wedgewood tea set. Waks said that the current decor trends are “especially good news for antique collectors.”
