The beauty of vintage home decor is that no-one else will have anything quite like it, and you can source the perfect item to match your mum's interior aesthetic and taste. Even better, she'll always think of you when she looks at it! (And they last forever, unlike flowers).
The other benefit of vintage home decor is that it is typically built to last, handcrafted and often as practical as it is beautiful. So you can make the perfect Mother's Day gift something she will use time and time again.
Here are five unique vintage home gift ideas for Mother's Day:
Vintage cake stand for Mother's Day afternoon tea
This pink, gold and white vintage porcelain pedestal bowl is super pretty and delicate and makes an ideal cake stand for afternoon tea!
Stunning vintage art to make a statement
There is nothing like a stunning piece of vintage artwork to make a lasting statement in your home. I like to use vintage art in unexpected places, like the kitchen, to add some real depth and character to what is typically a utilitarian space. This vintage oil portrait painting has the most beautiful deep green background.
Antique French transferware ceramics
Antique French ironstone (terre de fer) often comes with the most beautiful and delicate transferware patterns. This vintage ironstone tureen in blue and white has beautiful birds on it and can be used decoratively, or repurposed as a planter. I like to line these vintage tureens with linen napkins and use them for bread on the table.*
A very special vase (you can also provide the flowers!)
If you want a way to make sure your flowers are a lasting gift, pair them with a beautiful vintage vase to keep them in! This vintage French vase is handpainted with a delicate floral pattern and has an elegant scalloped neck. It looks just as good naked as it does when filled with flowers!
A pretty patterned ceramic bowl
Having a decorative patterned bowl in any corner of your home just brings a touch of magic to every space. I love to layer these vintage painted bowls, set them against rustic wood, and use them everywhere from the kitchen to the bathroom. I hope that's given you some inspiration for special Mother's Day gifts this year!
