"I love working antique items into my home decor - specifically antique linens and lace. Recently I turned a box of inherited linen napkins into patchwork curtains, but I still have stacks of vintage handmade doilies and table runners just languishing in a bin. However, an Instagram video recently inspired me to put them to good use - and if you're in the same predicament, your shelves and tabletops will never look the same."
"How to Use Lace Fabrics for Cottagecore Vibes This styling technique reminded me that doilies and lace runners deserve to make a comeback - especially with cottagecore and grandmillennial styles remaining popular. To do it, just place an antique napkin or doily on a side table or bookshelf to help group a collection together, or use them to frame candle displays at the center of your kitchen table."
Antique linens and lace can be integrated into home decor by turning inherited napkins into patchwork curtains and repurposing doilies and table runners as decorative accents. Antique lace table runners work well as shelf liners, where lace trim both beautifies and protects painted shelves from scratches and spills. Design inspiration can come from studying old photographs to evoke vintage charm. Styling ideas include grouping collections on side tables or bookshelves, framing candle displays with doilies, and draping mantels while keeping fabric away from flames. Thumbtacks can secure lace for occasional removal and careful washing.
