Combine antique sewing machines from different eras with a complementary mix of modern and traditional furnishings. The look will be elegant, yet inviting and comfortable.
Use antique sewing machines sparingly. Spread them out throughout the room or house. Crowding antique items takes away their individuality and uniqueness.
Choose one striking antique sewing machine and use it as inspiration for decorating the rest of the room.
Note details from the antique sewing machine, such as the type of wood used for the table, hand-painted details or the type face used in the brand logo, and incorporate them in other areas of the house.
Choose sewing machines from the same era but that differ in their construction, finishes, wooden parts, metal hardware and brand name. These details will set each machine apart among a collection.
