Overall, the bedroom look is soothing and neutral. What makes it interesting is the use of beautiful textures, many of which have a well-loved patina. Here’s how to decorate with vintage treasures without cluttering a room.
Painted Chest
In keeping with the soothing bedroom palette, this old chest received a new coat of khaki paint (canceling out the former avocado and harvest gold). Again, empty frames play a starring role. This time, stacked on the chest and leaning against the wall, they provide rich texture without a sense of clutter.

Bristol Glass Vases
The glossy, shapely vases share a narrow range of pastel hues. That way, you can enjoy the sheen and shape without the distraction of competing color.

Still Life
A 1930s-era portrait (in muted colors), glass, alabaster, and shells showcase a mix of texture rather than color. The items blend rather than contrast with the painted side table, another way to keep the look “quiet.”
