Used in the right way this trend can look contemporary and fresh. The key to this is just adding a few subtle additions to your décor. This will keep the scheme timeless and easy to live with. Try using a striking wallpaper on one wall, or adding a couple of retro-style armchairs to your existing furniture to start with, then gradually add to the look.
It’s easy to think of bright colours when it comes to a retro scheme, but if that puts you off, use toned down versions. Natural woods, mixed with leather and faux skins, with the addition of deep greens and blues, create a much more chic and sophisticated scheme. If you love the bold hues of the Sixties and Seventies then use them in combination, making them pop with a light background. Choose simple mid-century furniture with a Scandi feel, clean shapes, combining curved and straight lines, in light woods and materials.
