Vintage Photography For Contemporary Interiors

July 2023

Introducing vintage photography to contemporary interiors can bring a sense of fun, colour and softness to the space. 

Vintage photography from the Getty Images Archives, or Slim Aarons’ photographic works often feature scenes with exquisite fashion, striking colours and dreamy locations, bringing a beautiful mood to the room.

Contemporary interiors are often planned to have open spaces, architectural features and angular fittings and finishes. Framed art can play a huge role in softening modern interiors and introducing vintage photography can bring character and charm to these spaces.


There is a wide range of vintage photography to explore and the Slim Aarons photographic prints, spanning from the 1950s to the 1980s capture an immense collection of playful, fun, vibrant and candid photography across from the globe. 


In this styled interior, the soft blues and greens of 'Pool at Lake Tahoe' by Slim Aarons bring a lively and fresh colour palette to this earthy, contemporary space. The 1950s fashion captured in this idyllic poolside location creates a fun sense of vintage nostalgia.
