Art Nouveau – practicallyvintagekitchen

I love my small collection of vintage posters! Most of them are 1960’s reprints of original Alphonse Mucha posters (I have a slight obsession with his work and everything Art Nouveau).

These 3 are my favorites, they proudly hang above my bed. I have 10 in total, 4 hang in my lounge and 3 others are currently unframed because I don’t have enough space for them yet 🙂

These 2 are part of the nine 1960’s reprints which my fiance miraculously found a few years ago. Obviously I would love to find original posters, but when it comes to paper collectibles, that can be quite difficult (and incredibly expensive). I’m happy to settle for new reproductions because they add pops of color to any room.

This is a new reproduction that I bought from eBay (really cheap) about 2 years ago. It’s my favorite Mucha poster 🙂

These vintage (and vintage style) posters add a touch of quirkiness & character to any style interior, whether it’s ultra modern or more traditional. I’ve found some great examples of how to use these awesome pieces of art, in any room, from Houzz (I love this App). Hopefully I can give you some inspiration to add 1 or 2 posters to your own home!

Adding some awesome character to sleek, modern interiors!

We thought it might be a good idea to start sharing photos of our personal collection of antiques & collectables with you. Now you’ll be able to see what inspires us everyday and hopefully we can get you inspired to use antiques and vintage items in your home!

First up is our late 19th century French Walnut bed. We adore this bed because it has Art Nouveau details. You’ll also notice our 1960s prints of Alphonse Mucha posters above the bed. I love these posters (I have many more dotted around the house).

In the next photo you can see more of our Alphonse Mucha posters. I also love this antique Crystoleum of a beautiful art nouveau style woman (I think I might have a slight obsession with everything art nouveau!).

I absolutely love our 1860s oil painting of an old stone mill (fell in love with it at an auction). A new addition to our collection is this antique camera with original stand, which is a great decor piece.
