RETRO
Nostalgic | Vibrant | Vintage
Retro home design incorporates nostalgic aspects from antique, eclectic, and Bohemian designs. Perhaps its most distinguishing feature is the use of vibrant patterns and colours that highlight the lightness of a postwar American lifestyle. Typically, only one or two of those colours are used throughout the home to avoid a chaotic, cluttered look. Patterns are always big and are used on everything from walls and rugs to chairs and sofas.
Furniture features circular, curved lines and is constructed with wood or leather. Trinkets found at antique shops and flea markets are arranged on open shelving to add vintage. Colorful polypropylene upholstered chairs are also common in retro settings, as are nostalgic elements inspired by restaurants or antique autos.
