The How We Style It Edit: Vintage Styling Inspiration With The Heritage Edit

One of the questions we are asked most often at The Heritage Edit is:
“How would you style this?”

That question became the inspiration behind our much-loved “How We Style It” Edit over on Instagram at @the_heritage_edit_uk — a series dedicated to showing how vintage and antique decor can be styled beautifully within real homes.

From antique silver trays and vintage enamel bowls to brass candlesticks, shell dishes, antique baskets, and nautical decor, our “How We Style It” series is designed to inspire customers to see the potential in vintage and antique pieces beyond simply placing them on a shelf.

Vintage & Antique Styling Inspiration

Vintage and antique interiors are all about creating homes that feel layered, collected, timeless, and personal. The beauty of antique decor is that one piece can often be styled in dozens of different ways.

Through our “How We Style It” Edit, we share:

• vintage styling ideas

• antique home decor inspiration

• farmhouse styling

• French vintage decor inspiration

• Ralph Lauren inspired interiors

• country house decor ideas

• coastal and nautical styling

• seasonal antique decor inspiration

• affordable vintage styling tips

• antique market inspiration

We love showing how antique and vintage pieces can work within modern homes while still keeping that timeless collected feel.

Styling Antique Silver Trays

One of our most popular “How We Style It” edits featured antique silver trays and vintage silver-plated decor.

Some of our favourite styling ideas included:

• styling silver trays with candles

• layering trays on coffee tables

• using trays in bathrooms with perfumes and soaps

• creating kitchen centrepieces

• styling silver with moss balls and greenery

• displaying antique silver on bookshelves

Vintage silver instantly adds elegance and warmth to interiors while remaining incredibly versatile.

We regularly share ideas for styling:

• enamel basins with orchids

• vintage enamel bowls with fruit

• enamel foot baths with rolled towels

• herb planters using enamel pots
