The American Leather Living Room Ainsley-Sectional may not feature the bold retro colors but its sleek legs and slim look are retro necessities.<\/p><\/div>\n

Retro style covers many design decades. This term was used in the past as a means to describe styles and trends that were in. <\/em>If this were to be the basis, then every style eventually becomes retro. At this time, styles that are from the \u201850s, \u201860s and \u201870s are considered vintage, therefore, retro.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you\u2019re willing to cross over to any of these interior designs, then it\u2019s time to go retro. Always think of bright hues, bold designs, and an awesome flair. You have to be daring because retro requires a certain set of personalities. It is far from laidback or casual; it\u2019s busy, even bordering funky.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Retro Hues <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To be truly retro means you have to pick retro colors. Don\u2019t worry, this is not difficult to do.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Begin with avocado green. This is the retro hue of choice followed closely by mustard and fusions of black, brown, red, and white. Hot pink and purple are also amazing additions to your retro style home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can place a little of everything and mixes of green, blue, indigo, orange (the bright type), and sunshiny yellow. Checkered patterns are also welcome as are tie-dyed fabrics and paisleys.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Retro Textures <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Texture is an element that you must never ignore when it comes to retro designing. Here, in fact, it\u2019s okay to go overboard. Use soft vinyl, shag carpets and crushed velvet. Keep in mind that you have to be bold about everything so go ahead and use a lot of textures.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Retro Accent and Flooring <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s another easy thing about retro \u2013 you don\u2019t have to limit your use of accessories and accents. Retro pieces include door beads, rugs, lava lamps, stools, and skate tables. Sculptures and art are often unique and bold, could also be abstract.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As for the flooring, your options are these three \u2013 shag carpeting, tiles patterned like checkerboard, and natural wood.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Retro Lighting <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Every retro style home must have its floor or desk lamps. You can also opt for a multi-colored chandelier.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Retro Furniture <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now this is one design element that we have to focus on when it comes to retro style. The pieces that you choose are crucial in creating the retro feel in your home. Get the wrong furniture and you\u2019re looking at a totally different or awkward era.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Broad and long sofas are a must. These must also be decorated with different-colored pillows for the needed burst of color. Chrome barstools are also a wonderful addition (especially the ones that have a red seat) to the kitchen or the bar. Puzzle piece ottomans offer a unique seating option for your guests.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

It\u2019s no surprise that retro furniture is still much wanted nowadays because its simple base constructions and wooden structures with metal feet are difficult to ignore.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve seen the Bauhaus style, then you\u2019d know where retro style gets its influence. With this style, quality is a must for each furniture piece while still not steeply priced. Add in the element of comfort and you\u2019ve arrived, style-wise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just imagine the milling techniques back in the 1960s till the 1970s and you know that you should include a bit of the perforated hole design and the metal fronts. Filigree legs provided the light and comfortable look that\u2019s a recipe for the perfect retro home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Going further on your furniture choices, use tables and side tables with a metal or solid wood construction. A gilding of metal is also a great addition. For the cloth covers, use sea green, musty yellow, brown or beige. Muted orange also appeared during the \u201950 till the \u201860s so that\u2019s also an option.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to mix different materials so you can say that you\u2019ve truly jumped into the retro bandwagon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
