Are you a lover of all things retro? Do you frequent the vintage shops and stalls in your town, looking for the best bargain? Why not transport your home back through time and give it a retro makeover? Here’s how…

Glassware

Accessorising with ornaments is always a great idea to bring a unique and quirky touch to your home and retro glassware is certainly no exception.

Featuring bold and bright colours and available in an array of weird and wonderful shapes, glassware will add a personal and funky touch to your decor.

Colourful Upholstery

Bold colours are a big part of retro decor so it goes without saying that your upholstery should be bright and brilliant!

If you don’t fancy using a patterned fabric to cover your sofa or chairs, you can use a plain one, like the sofa above, and accessorise with patterned cushions to create a retro effect.

Pop Art

The ideal accompaniment to a retro room, pop-art has the bright colours, the timeless images and the vintage feel to really give your home a classic edge.

We particularly love this recognisable Marilyn Monroe print but there are plenty of other designs to choose from – why not try making one of your own?

Blinds

If you don’t want to go all out with patterned wallpaper or furniture, why not accessorise with a funky blind instead?

Geometric shapes, bright floral patterns and big bold stripes are all great ways to add a colourful, retro touch to your home as well as being highly practical!

Funky Furniture

If you’re looking to give your home a total makeover, why stop at something small? Bring in a complete room-set with a retro feel, including funk furniture and retro accessories!

Although you can give a vintage touch to nearly any room in your house, we think that retro themed kitchens look particularly cool – the bright blocky colours, beautiful vintage kitchenwares and soft and subtle accents can create a classic, funky theme in your home.
