Interior design is constantly changing – one day granite countertops are all the rage, and the next granite is out and quartz is in. But one trend that never seems to go out of style is vintage. Luckily for Charlotte residents, the Queen City has plenty of vintage furniture and decoration stores that can satisfy anyone’s desire for unique and timeless pieces of décor.
Moreover, vintage furniture collectors would love to know that the city has plenty of self-storage options to keep their most precious antiques until they find a good use for them. A 10×10 self storage unit in Charlotte rents for about $81 per month, according to Yardi Matrix, and there are more than 90 facilities to choose from in the city.
