Vintage and antique touches and furniture are extremely popular for any kind of interior: from industrial to minimalist because they make the space refined and give it a character. More and more designers use vintage items for home décor to make it stand out, and sometimes just one piece is enough to change everything. An antique desk is right such a piece that can add an exquisite feel to any space, and there are several ways to incorporate such a desk into your décor, and it’s not only about using it as a desk, let me share some more ideas.
Consoles
A vintage desk can be used as a console table in your living room or entryway. Find a desk that you like and that fits your style, if it’s not that good-looking or doesn’t fit your space, sand it and repaint. If necessary – change the top or legs, and if you like shabby looks, why not leave it as it? If your space is pretty small, you can cut the desk in halves and use just one piece placing it by the wall – this is especially great for entryways.

Bathroom Vanities
If you want to make your bathroom more special, opt for a cool bathroom vanity and a vintage desk is one of such items that can make your bathroom jaw-dropping. You can leave it as it is, or re-paint, cut to the size you need and of course change the vanity top because wood isn’t that durable, and a bathroom is a very humid space. Try stone, concrete or tiles or some other tops but leave all the rest as it is for a charming look. Drawers can be used for storing bathroom stuff.
