Bay Area’s Best Vintage Furniture Shops
As you know, we are huge fans of incorporating vintage furniture into our Bay Area interior design projects. A vintage piece adds character, personality and an indefinable quality to a room – it’s that unique, sculptural armchair or statement chandelier that oftentimes becomes the focal point of a home.
As eco-friendly San Francisco designers, we also appreciate that re-using and extending the lifecycle of a furniture piece is kind to the environment. Tracking down the perfect vintage piece can be quite the challenge, but have no fear, we’ve done the legwork for you! Read on for our insider designer tips on where to score the best vintage furniture and accessories in the San Francisco Bay Area!
