Why Designers Love Etsy for Inexpensive Antique Print Sets

When it comes to bedroom decorating, a group of vintage prints hung above a pretty headboard is one look that never goes out of style. So when we saw the Upper East Side bedroom of India Amory founder Julia Amory on Instagram, we were instantly smitten by her collection of framed botanicals. (Not to mention the rattan bedside tables, swing-arm sconces, and embroidered linens—grandmillennial heaven!)

The best part? DIY-ing a vintage print wall is super easy and inexpensive. Amory purchased the images as digital downloads through an Etsy shop, OldArtArchive, then had them printed onto heavyweight paper. The frames were Amazon finds, sold in packs of four.

Etsy is also a great source for authentic antique bookplates for framing, if you'd rather not print your own. Check out sellers like RareBooksAndMore, AntiquePrintGallery and AntiquePrintMap for genuine vintage print sets and individuals, many of them under $10 each.
