Retro Revamp

If you’re looking to spice up the interior design of your home, why not try changing things up by adding a touch of retro. Here are some of the top trends to help you modernise while kickin’ it old school:

• Match your furniture to the age of your home. If it was built in the mid 60’s, try and find pieces from that era. If you’re revamping old furniture, be cautious of lead paint and other toxic materials.
• Retro accessories can add a subtle nostalgic aura to the space.

• Items don’t necessarily have to be genuine retro. There is a huge range of reproduction items made from ‘safer’ materials.
• High contrast colours and stainless steel items are the best way to revamp a kitchen.
• Lighting is the easiest way to add the retro style to any room. Combine with bright textured fabric in a bedroom for the perfect 60’s bedroom.
