Retro Furniture Designs From the 60s and 70s Make a Comeback

In the 1960s and 70s, furniture designs reflected the eras' cult popularity. During this period, bold colors and sleek geometric shapes dominated the design scene, and today, bits of this classic era are making their way back into popular culture.

In a recent fad, homeowners are digging into past design eras to find furniture pieces that match their personal style and home aesthetics. This can be done by shopping antique stores, resale shops, garage sales, or estate sales.

There are so many different retro styles to choose from, including everything from tufted sectionals to flared desks to minimalist pendant lights to wood television stands. Whatever style you choose, make sure the piece fits in with your space's architecture and complements your current design scheme.

Adding pops of color to your retro furniture can really add a fun and eclectic element to the space. Look for colors that were popular in the era you want to incorporate into your decor like avocado green, pinks, fuchsias, oranges, reds and yellows.

You can also bring in wicker or rattan furniture to give your retro room a warm, natural look. These types of materials were very popular in the era and are easy to work with.

To create an all-over vintage feel, try incorporating a few pieces of artwork into your room. Whether you go with a picture gallery or some framed pictures of your favorite celebrities and places, this is an excellent way to make a statement.

Another great way to introduce retro style to your space is by using vintage cartoons and photos of celebrities or other iconic figures. This will be a fun way to give your space a vintage feel that everyone is bound to love!

While a lot of modern furniture combines elements from several different eras, retro style is a little more unique. This is because it uses nods to previous eras, such as fashion, graphic design, art movements and natural resources.
