Poodle skirts, I Love Lucy, and rock n’ roll are just a few unforgettable and distinguishable moments of life in the ‘50s. Colored TVs were first introduced to the public, a significant shift in technology and color broadcasts. The classic era’s impact on pop culture, fashion, and interior design shaped the retro space for decades. Now it’s time to transport back and uncover how to add a vintage twist to any space for a swoon-worthy and timeless look with our Retro Rewind collection.
The foundation of the 1950s design aesthetic utilized an array of geometric patterns and textiles in multiple facets for a unique blend of color, texture, and shapes. This era embodied brightness, accents, and clean silhouettes for a sophisticated and functional space. Colors such as mustard yellow and teal tones abound and extend even to furniture. Elevate your living space with a floor lamp, rose-colored tile, or chestnut-stain wood.
Vinyl served as a popular material in the ‘50s. A vinyl wallcovering in a bold-colored pattern can bring a funky flair to any room. An accent wall in a living room or kitchen makes a striking statement that elevates a contemporary space.
Wooden chairs, a chandelier light fixture, and Sedona floral drapes enrich rooms, such as a dining area, for a classic look reminiscent of decades past that is still as relevant today as it was then.
Kitchens in the 50s showcased patterned and checkerboard floors, pastel appliances, and laminate surfaces. Incorporate retro elements with a ceramic hexagonal floor textile, vintage-inspired appliances such as a pop-up toaster and percolators, and a blend of chrome accents such as faucets and hardware. A pastel green sink is the quintessential focal point of the kitchen. Create contrast with a black and white abstract laminate design for countertops, a subtle nod to the decade of innovation.
