RETRO STYLE INTERIOR DESIGN

Retro inspired interior style in modern
homes has become a trend now. Bold
colours like purple & pink are one of the
hottest presently, with accents of gold &
silver here and there. Chic & fashionable
retro concept can create a unique look & a
refreshing ambience in your home.

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 multicoloured
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.
