While the world is obsessed with modern design, stand out and be retro. When a 50’s floral printed sofa and lime green lamp meet a Versace tile, it’s almost euphoric. 

The retro look has slowly crept its way back into the interior design industry. Retro furniture and style can lighten up any living space. To save you from the stress, here are 10 tips and ticks to create the ultimate retro living space. 

Yellow lighting / Vintage lightbulbs

A quick touch of retro.

Add Geometric Shapes

You can either go all bold and glossy with shapes and patterns or choose a minimalistic approach! Your call.

“Pillow Fight”

Throw in some color and patterns. Let them pop out and give away the retro vibes.

Tile

Obviously! We can do a whole blog on using tile for a retro look. Maybe look out for one 😉

Wall Art Deco

Thinking thrift stores or art galleries – if you feel that vibe then it belongs in your living.

Color Block

Easy and unique option to make a bold statement.

Plants

How many indoor plants is too many?

“How Much Wood Could A Woodchuck Chuck”

If a woodchuck could chuck 😉 Add a touch of wooden accents or furniture that show some age or character.

Extra Texture

Love some fabric? Then you’re right on the path for a retro look. Velvet, tweed and so many other options can be used. Bold colors, catchy patterns and some bling will do the magic just right.

Rugs, Rugs, Did I Mention Rugs?

Add colorful rugs to your living and see the instant change. This can also be accomplished with tile.
