This year again, retro style is making a comeback in interiors. Much more than a trend, it brings authentic character to a kitchen, living room, or bedroom. Want to (re)discover this style and adopt it in your home? Follow our tips for successful retro decor.
The essentials of a retro interior
While retro decor brings with it a certain nostalgia for times gone by, it blends perfectly into today's interiors.
To achieve a successful retro-style decor, look for furniture with clean lines, leather armchairs, Formica coffee tables or velvet chairs.
When it comes to colors, opt for a warm and vibrant palette with shades of yellow, ochre, orange, or green. Other shades such as turquoise blues highlight the vintage vibe of your space.
To complete your retro-style decor, consider floral or geometric patterns. Added to a wall or a bedding set in a bedroom, for example, these details refine your decor and create an authentic retro feel.
Mixing the old and the modern
Choosing a retro ambiance in your home combines nostalgia and style. In small touches, it adds timeless originality and character to any space. Here are some tips for creating a vintage atmosphere while blending old and new.
