How to Decorate With Antique Sewing Machines
- 1). Combine antique sewing machines from different eras with a complementary mix of modern and traditional furnishings. The look will be elegant, yet inviting and comfortable.
- 2). Use antique sewing machines sparingly. Spread them out throughout the room or house. Crowding antique items takes away their individuality and uniqueness.
- 3). Choose one striking antique sewing machine and use it as inspiration for decorating the rest of the room.
- 4). Note details from the antique sewing machine, such as the type of wood used for the table, hand-painted details or the type face used in the brand logo, and incorporate them in other areas of the house.
- 5). Choose sewing machines from the same era but that differ in their construction, finishes, wooden parts, metal hardware and brand name. These details will set each machine apart among a collection.
