Retro Decorating Style
Retro decorating style encompasses several decades from 50’s to 70’s. It brings bright atmosphere and lively colors to the interior design. Retro style is funky, bright, and fun.
How To Decorate In Retro Style:
Colors
Retro decorating colors include certain greens and yellows, pink, purple, red, black, white. Retro is characterized by bright color schemes not only in the decor but also artworks and posters. The latter will also help create the needed atmosphere in the room.
Patterns
Checkered and floral patterns are pertinent to the retro style. But abstract, geometric, and retro futuristic patterns will also help create a retro style decor. Patterned wallpaper is great at giving the room that retro feel even if it’s only covering the feature wall.
Shapes
Abstract and futuristic shapes in furniture create a very retro style atmosphere. Think rounded backs and armrests in sofas and chairs. Also look for retro futuristic bar stools and chairs.
Accents
Bright and funky accents will emphasize the retro style of the interior design. Posters, retro artworks, photos, and other things can be used to decorate the walls in the retro style interior. Abstract screens, beads, and retro lamps will complete any retro style decor.
