A vintage typewriter makes a great asset in home décor and can easily lend that desirable boost in creating a good ambience. It is an innovative way of enhancing the style and elegance of your home and an antique typewriter can boost the creativity indoors just by virtue of being a piece of equipment not used much and generally belonging to a previous time phase.

Joy of Antiques

Antique items are always a delight to acquire, and no less, a vintage typewriter. They give us a sense of triumph partly because antiques are a rare find and not likely to be owned by many people. And how we all love to stand out as unique! The classical appeal associated with antiques also endears them to us. You may have chanced upon a vintage typewriter at some antique or garage sale. Or perhaps you have one lying somewhere in your house. We tend to accumulate lots of stuff in our attics, basements and garages, some of which may be quite old such as an antique typewriter.

Having a vintage typewriter in your home gives you an excellent opportunity to indulge in some creative displaying. You may want to try out some simple ideas for displaying your vintage typewriter. Not only will you succeed in easily adding to the ambience of your house but you will be surprised at how much your guests will admire your home décor. Your antique typewriter need not lie and accumulate dust somewhere.

Displaying Your Vintage Typewriter

• Place your vintage typewriter in the lobby area which is usually the first room that welcomes both you and your guests when coming into the house. You may want to create a unique setting here with your antique typewriter that is sure to captivate and impress your guests. Express your appreciation for antiques by creating an antique setting in your lobby. Set up a small antique table with a set of two antique armchairs. You could place one of those old antique telephones on the little table as well as your vintage typewriter. A sheet can be inserted into the typewriter, resting on the stands, with the words "WELCOME HOME!" written in large bold letters. This makes a cheerful and stylish way of welcoming one into the house while adding to the ambience of your home.

• Your vintage typewriter can also be aptly placed on a table beside your bookcase. This creates a cozy reading atmosphere and adds to the ambience of your home. You may also want to place a couple of scrolls next to your vintage typewriter to create some air of antiquity and boost the indoor décor.

• Blend your vintage typewriter along with other items of antique nature in your living room such as an old grandfather clock, antique rocking chair, or antique table. An antique setting that will greatly add to the ambience of your home can be readily created with these items. You could place a sheet containing an interesting quip on your antique typewriter or even a family photo to catch the eyes of your guests.
