I’d like to share a very interesting Interior style that is
very bold yet brilliant! A style that is a classic from the '50's ‘60’s and ‘70’s…..*Drum Rolls*.....
THE
RETRO-CHIC-STYLE !
Actually anything older than the current period translates to retro
but these years in particular were famous for a being bold and sometimes bizarre
in all things design and style!
Retro style is an eclectic mix of old styles and new forms,
or new forms with old materials and finishes.
You could mix the retro style with ‘vintage’ pieces or mix
it with contemporary furniture for your own eclectic style!
Interior design magazines often show retro style as an
interior decoration of mixed styles and objects from the past, second-hand and
new. For example, 1970s patterned wallpapers, combined with second-hand furniture
from the 1960s and 1950s - the Pop Art style. This décor style encompasses colors and styles of ‘psychedelic
intensity’ in equally bold patterns of flowers, stripes, geometric and abstract designs.
In the 1960’s they were very popularly used on wallpapers, shaggy
carpets, curtains, sofas, ottomans, cushions etc. The colors and patterns were
influenced by India, Spain and the Mediterrranean.
Prominent colors that form a mélange for the retro look
include dark greens, mustard yellows, hot pinks and various shades of orange. Combinations
in black, white and red also form part of the retro theme.
Basically, this is a very bold style that requires a certain
‘personality’ or flamboyance to pull it off!
You may think of doing a particular room in this theme if you don’t think you can carry it off for the entire house. Teens bedrooms, Entertainment dens and Master bedrooms can look fabulous with this style of decorating!
And now folks, you are in for some eye-popping treats…..lets
groove it shall we!
Dynamic, vibrant, quirky and unique. Retro style is one that you can love or hate but hard to ignore! Going all out retro is for the boldly flamboyant but one can always play around with retro elements in measured amounts to create that stunning look!
