• Retro design style is a mix
match of past styles with some modern twist. Each year has got its own feature;
focus on a particular era that you would want to add to your space. For
example, well known personalities of that era, their photographs, ranging from
artists singers, movies or music. Gather some of these objects, easily
available at antique stores & display them. It can be the focal point of
your room.
• Though bold & vivacious colours
are frequently used, you need not go overboard with it. A unique combination
can be achieved by adding a few patterned carpets, a modern chair or some retro
pieces to enhance your living space. This also gives a break from the usual
monotonous designs.
• It is important to introduce bold
patterns & bold colours with caution to achieve a sophisticated design.
Red, yellow, turquoise, hot pink, electric blue etc. were some popular colours.
A completely retro inspired design in present times will give an overwhelming
look.
• Textures are very important, most
prominently used is smooth plastic, soft vinyl, crushed velvet etc. Since the
theme stands for boldness, you can experiment carefully with different
textures.
• Brilliant chandeliers, wardrobes and
side tables can add style to the living room. A few elements like cushions and
rugs give a playful & hip look.
• By using wooden look for furniture,
modern retro style can appear warm & comfortable.
• You can accessorise your space by
using these different patterns with geometric shapes in carpets and wall
papers. Artefacts with bright colours and large size can be used along with abstract
pieces as sculptures.
• Mix & match your furniture with a
single piece of chair or sofa as the focal point. Most sofas are broad with
multi-coloured cushions and, to achieve a shiny Bing, a dash of chrome bar
stool with bright red or some silver or gold. This draws instant attention and
gives the perfect Retro feeling.
