Are you looking to bring some old world charm into your space? Including a vintage trunk is a great way to make a statement! We love decorating with vintage trunks; they look beautiful and are roomy enough to store blankets and other items you might want to tuck away. Furthermore, many styles offer a flat surface, so they can double as a coffee table or side table. Here are some great ideas for incorporating vintage trunks into your home.
Vintage trunks are ideal as side tables. They are elegant and functional, and offer a place to put your beverage down, with hidden storage to keep your living room tidy.

We love the look of vintage trunks paired with maps because it’s a throwback to how trunks were originally used. The use of trunks dates back to the medieval times, but they really started gaining popularity as luggage in the Victorian Era, around the 1870’s. This was when cross-country railroads and inter-continental travel by water made long-distance traveling more feasible.

A vintage trunk makes for a superb bedside table. Who needs a boring nightstand when you can use a chic vintage trunk? A vintage trunk is perfect as a shared bedside table between two twin beds in a guest room.
