12 TJ Maxx Decor Finds That Could Totally Pass For Vintage

TJ Maxx is full of items for any style of home, including more modern and contemporary spaces. Where they really shine, however, is vintage and antique-inspired decor, which line the aisles of the store in abundance, making many of the chain's retail sections feel very much like a charming antique curio shop or textile stall. Much of the retailer's decor and homewares bring in influences from a number of eras, including French provincial, Victorian, art deco, and midcentury modern. These pieces can easily be blended seamlessly into a home along with other older decor items picked up while thrifting or antiquing. They include bedding, rugs, pillow, dishware, and art, all of which look far, far older than their manufacturing dates. While not all locations of TJ Maxx have the same goods on the shelves, there are certain items you can definitely keep an eye out for while shopping that perfectly capture the look and feel of antiques and vintage goods.

These items are perfect for creating a vintage vibe in your space or filling out a home amid other thrifted and antique items for whichever aesthetic or era you have in mind. Even better, they can often be found far less expense than real vintage and antiques items sold by dealers and online auctions. Items from many trendier designers and manufacturers are also usually deeply discounted at TJ Maxx compared to their original prices elsewhere.

TJ Maxx has a great selection of dishware to fit all design aesthetics, including a host of antique-inspired plates that boast transferware and toile patterns based on dishware popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Great options include these Spode Rome salad plates, these harvest homestead turkey dinner plates, or these floral toile dinner plates. For a spooky touch, opt for the Royal Stafford Halloween house plates.

If you're looking for luxe vintage-inspired bedding options, TJ Maxx has a huge variety of duvet covers and comforters that fit perfectly into a more rustic or vintage-inspired space, including this beautiful cotton and linen blend Pure Luxury Linen striped duvet set. For a more feminine touch, opt for a vintage floral design from the Cabbages & Roses brand like its cameo duvet set. TJ Maxx often has an array of Laura Ashley bedding such as its cotton percale floral sheet set, which can give your bedroom a more Victorian cottage look. 

Throw pillows are an instant way to cozy up a room and provide comfort on a chair, sofa, or bed. There are many vintage-inspired options that look like the real thing in rich fabrics like velvet, woven textiles, and chenille. Great vintage options include the JS Royal Home velvet pillow and the Martha Stewart golden forest pillow. For a whimsical touch, add this retro-style Canaan wild west pillow for an equestrian chic horse-inspired decor.

Vintage lamps are a great thrifting or antiquing score, but still-working pieces can be hard to find, making newer vintage reproductions a great way to light your home with vintage flair. TJ Maxx has lamps that take their inspiration from many different design eras of the past, including the cool midcentury vibes of this Jamie Young rope table lamp or the art deco glamour of this Elle Decor ribbed glass tabletop lamp. Also, the Jonathan Y chinoiserie ginger jar lamp would fit beautifully in a Victorian-inspired room with no one the wiser to its modern origins.

TJ Maxx's selection of glassware, including goblets, tumblers, and pitchers, have many great pieces that echo decades past, like the 1960s-influenced Darbie Angel striped carafe set or the swanky midcentury look of the Godinger Veneto martini glasses. Or, opt for the Gilded Maple ribbed goblets that recall 1930s colored Depression glass and make a beautiful addition to a vintage-inspired table setting or atop an antique home bar.

TJ Maxx's decor aisles are lined with beautiful vases and decorative canisters that double for much older antiques like this Galt chinoiserie ceramic vase or the dynasty meadow vase, mimicking the graceful look of antique ginger jars and vases. To add more texture, opt for a handmade terracotta pottery look like the Sagebrook Home jug vase, which looks beautiful filled with flowers or greenery or arranged in a grouping with others in a vintage rustic space.

If you're looking for frames for photos or artwork, TJ Maxx's wall decor section is filled with frames that hearken back to a number of decades from the past, including carved wooden gold frames with an old European look. They include pieces like the Bungalow Home Collective gold tone wall frame and the Burns of Boston scalloped flora picture frame. For a sleek art deco look, opt for a sculptural Enchante metallic wave frame.

If the price of real antique paintings and drawings feels prohibitive, TJ Maxx has a vast selection of vintage-flavored reproductions, including the work of famous artists of the Impressionist era, like this Monet masters wall art. Another great choice for creating a more Victorian botanical vibe includes the Marmont Hill flower wall set. Or, deck your walls with vintage-inspired landscapes like this Eldorado framed wall art.

Unique planters with a vintage feel can be harder to find in good condition without stains and damage from decades of use. You can find a wide array amid the aisles at TJ Maxx, including gorgeous Sagebrook Home chinoiserie planters. For a more rustic look, opt for the Three Hands artichoke planter, which complements antique-inspired homes and fits right in. Or, add some cottage style midcentury charm with this Sagebrook Home bubble planter that looks like vintage milk glass.

Baskets are great for both adding texture and extra storage means in any space. Vintage baskets can be especially lovely but harder to find in good condition. TJ Maxx, however, can set you up with great vintage-look baskets in various sizes and materials, like these Napa Home and Garden talan baskets that would look stylish above kitchen cabinets in a rustic vintage kitchen. Other great options include the large A&B Home willow basket or the RGI oval basket that can help you organize your closet or open storage shelves.

Finding real vintage Halloween decor in thrift and antique shops can be a great way to celebrate the season. Each late summer and fall, TJ Maxx aisles are full of fall accents and vintage-inspired items for Halloween, including decor with a fun retro vibe. The selection includes both rustic and primitive accents, as well as more cute midcentury Halloween imagery. Light up your space with this Mr Halloween ceramic Halloween tree, a fall-skewed reproduction of popular vintage ceramic holiday trees. Decorate your home with an antique-look etched glass pumpkin or create a fun midcentury spooky vibe with these adorable Envogue Halloween buddies.

Antique and vintage rugs can be a beautiful way to add softness and comfort to your floors, with antique Persian rugs one of the best ways to ground a room. TJ Maxx has an entire section of rugs in various sizes and shapes that give an antique flavor to any space you use them in, like this wool Cotswold area rug or a vintage look area rug. Give your living room a retro twist by focusing on botanical motifs and soft colors that look well-worn and soft with age.
