Consider These Retro Design Ideas For Your Next Home Renovation!
All interior design trends change, often in the opposite direction. After years of cool, grey minimalism, homeowners are turning toward the past for cozier inspirations.
Greens and other warm neutrals
Golds and avocado greens from the 1960s and 1970s revolutionized kitchen appliances and made complementary autumn colors like oranges, tans, and browns wildly popular. Dark Green and Blue cabinets and gold appliances are a popular choice for modern kitchen renovations! If you like the clean look of white and grey, but want to stand out, try off-white cream colors and earth tones instead.
Texture everywhere
Texture gives neutral colors like beige, stone, and greys more interest. Interior designers Dorothy Draper and William Haines popularized “Hollywood Regency” in the 1930s, ‘40s, and ‘50s. Apartmenttherapy.com recommends getting the opulent, glamorous look with gold or shiny metallic accents pieces, jewel tones such as emerald green, mirrors with speckles and sparkle, a touch of Chinoiserie fabric on chairs or in wallpaper, and crystal chandeliers. Plaster, a lime-based putty, adds depth to colors and textures. Get the look with special paint finishes.
Wallpaper scenes
In the 1920s, wallpaper was the ultimate status symbol, says SouthernLiving.com. Murals and larger repeat prints give interiors unique personality, texture, and color. Designers are bringing back wallpaper all throughout homes. Whether you want to accent a wall, make half-bath pop, or customize your child’s closet, the possibilities are endless for wallpaper. And unlike past messy removals, today’s wallpaper is so easy, all you need to do is peel and stick. You can even create your own custom wallpaper!
