Modern Furnishings with a Retro Twist
Create a sense of nostalgia using modern furnishings with a retro twist. The twist could be in the form of shapes, patterns or even colours, all of which can create a retro movie-set feel, but with a lot more cosiness. We have lots of inspiration in our guide, no matter which bygone era takes your fancy.
Certain shapes and patterns never go out of style, but we have seen a resurgence in furnishings invoking eras such as the 1970s. With geometric prints and a colour palette of dark orange, red, yellow and green to be found in everything from upholstery to lampshades, using these in a modern setting can look stylish but homely.
While shades and prints may give a nod to the 70s and early 80s, many of the furniture shapes and styles in our selection have a 50s and 60s feel. Linear forms, rounded corners and subtle shell contours offer a sophisticated vibe, perfect for a living room or bedroom.
The bold colours and patterns of this trend are perfect to play with - try mixing and matching fun retro cushions for an easy way to get started!
