Some love calling Mount Dora home thanks to its rich historic past. Others love their place among its peaceful lakefront shores, and some simply enjoy the vintage charm of an afternoon spent in their local downtown.
Whatever the reason, what better way to embrace the town of Mount Dora then by bringing the unique atmosphere right into your home? Here’s how you can do it!
Embrace the Vintage Charm
Mount Dora, Florida, is famous for its blast from the past feel. It is so unique that visitors travel from all over to spend a day or two exploring the town.
Locals lucky enough to call it home can bring this sought-after atmosphere into their own home with vintage and antique styling.
How-To
Visit Mount Dora’s local Renningers Antique Center to find a vintage piece of furniture such as a coffee table or statement chair - making it the central piece of your living room.
Try a wall of antique-style photo frames and wall decor for a conversation piece, gracing a kitchen or sitting room with your vintage theme. In the bedroom, try a shabby-chic bedspread or vintage style mirror above the dresser! See more on why Mount Dora is the prime location for Antiquing.
Embrace the Past Mixed with Modernity
Mount Dora’s beautiful, historic style is mixed with the convenience of modern living for today’s residents. In your home, you can do the same!
How-To
Like this home, try embracing the past with signature rocking chairs, or in little details such as unique vintage decor on coffee tables, book shelves, or in center pieces. Mix in the modern with a large tufted headboard in the bedroom, an up-to-date kitchen, crown molding, and all white furniture pieces. Vintage-modern lighting features are another popular statement piece for this design style.
Try searching local antique shops to find a unique lamp or hanging fixture that showcases the vintage feel with a modern design. Explore Mount Dora homes through the decades for more unique touches & ideas!
Embrace the Peace of Lakefront Living
Locals who live on the shores of a Mount Dora lake can easily bring the peaceful, carefree lifestyle of their breathtaking views and backyards right into their homes!
How-To
Keep a classic, rustic theme in mind. Go with neutral paint colors in the greys, tans, and muted blues and greens. Light colored furniture with wooden accents go nicely with a lake themed home, and be sure to keep your windows free of furniture to embrace the view!
But of course, don't forget to add a little splash of color! Light or neutral wall palettes can be the perfect canvas for adding your own pop of color through furniture or accent pieces.
Of course, a backyard filled with comfy chairs and a scenic sitting area is a must for a Mount Dora lake home too - try a fire pit!
