Often design eras are rehashed. A flash from the past reappears with a modern twist. This is often referred to as the vintage or retro style. Retro interior design is an eclectic mix of old styles and new forms, or new forms with old materials and finishes. Any era can be tapped into here, with the \u00a050s, 60s and 70s the most common. It embraces a kaleidoscope of contrasting design features, colours, shapes and form. The ratio of old to new will bring a more intense and defined understanding of this look. Your colour palette could be a diverse mix of brights or muddy muted neutrals or a 60s vogue monotone scheme. Motifs pull from the art deco, nouveau, oversized and psychedelic. Take risks, break rules and sing to your own tune.<\/span><\/p>\n

The key getting retro interior design right is to think outside the box. For example, when choosing seating, favour bean bags, hanging pod chairs, day loungers, and oversized footstools.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
