Let’s start with the main question: what is the retro decor? It is that style of decoration characterized by a return of the designs of the past. It is inspired by the 50s, 60s and 70s and as a result produces an interesting combination between new and old.
The retro decorating style is characterized by the use of bright colors and contrasts. Corduroy, synthetics and geometric shapes such as circles or rectangles are a must if we want to adapt this style to our home.
One of the first question you should ask is, what color should I paint the walls? Let’s see. The retro style is based on combination of brown, ivory and browns. It also uses pastel colors. Mixtures of turquoise and fuchsia (as well as lime green) with classic psychedelic prints. The yellow, mustard, orange, brown are also the colors of this style.
The 50s and 60s were characterized by rounded edges equipment (just a matter of remembering the classic chillers that time). Try to keep your gear (or even your furniture) also have rounded edges. Chromium is one of the material par excellence. Refrigerators, countertops and chairs of this material will give a hint to your home for the past forty or fifty years ago.
At the time of getting all these elements can visit flea markets and antique shops. Through the Internet, of course, we can also get various products of this era.
It is important to clarify that a good retro decor is based on the balance. If we exceed our home we can give a look too cliche or (even worse for my taste, kitsch). The way to achieve truly unique spaces is perfectly join the old with the modern.
