"So I reached out to a few interior designers to talk about the "grandma-approved" vintage pieces at the top of every thrifter's list right now - specifically for the bedroom. Your bedroom is supposed to be cozy and comforting - and, if you ask me, there's nothing more comforting than nostalgia. So most of these pieces will feel right at home right away."
"Popularized in the 1960s, vanities and mirrored dressers are making a big comeback, according to Kate Pearce, interior designer and founder of Kate Pearce Vintage. "I think people are very into wellness and self-care right now, and having a dedicated area of the bedroom to hold all your skincare and makeup feels like just the right amount of indulgence," she says.Amber Guyton, interior designer and founder of Blessed Little Bungalow, agrees that demand for vintage vanities is at an all-time high."
Nostalgia-driven design trends have amplified interest in grandma-core bedroom decor, emphasizing cozy and comforting vintage elements. Vintage vanities and mirrored dressers, popularized in the 1960s, are resurging as functional, indulgent focal points that support wellness and self-care routines by providing dedicated skincare and makeup areas. For smaller spaces or lighter commitment, bold ornate mirrors placed above dressers can achieve a similar aesthetic. Needlepoint and other handcrafted textiles add softness, personalization, and visible craftsmanship to bedroom spaces, reinforcing a lived-in, nostalgic atmosphere that balances comfort with curated vintage charm.
