How Do You Decorate With A Retro Telephone?
Here’s how to include a vintage, retro phone in your next home decoration project. A vintage phone provides a great accent to a room decorated with modernist furniture. Shop online. The internet is the best place to find a wide variety of vintage phones. And you don’t need to shop on eBay. There are several quality vintage phone stores a Google search away. (Search for “vintage phone”). These stores have an amazing selection of high quality phones from the 40’s to the 80’s. Stay basic. Choose a phone that fits with the period of the room. Don’t let the possibilities overwhelm you, or else you’ll overwhelm the room with too dramatic a phone choice. Phones are a subtle accent, not “the pinball machine in the corner.” Choose between rotary and button models. The disadvantages of having a rotary home phone are a lot less in today’s cell phone driven world. Choose the same colors and styles that were popular in the era you are inspired by.
