Retro decor adds a unique and distinctive character to a space, setting it apart from contemporary styles. It allows for creative expression, enabling individuals to showcase their love for a specific era or design aesthetic. Perhaps one of the easiest ways that you can implement retro decor into your home is by using artwork that evokes a certain period of time.
What Is Vintage Retro Home Decor?
There are varying definitions for the terms vintage and retro home décor, but both involve decorating a home using items with styles from past eras. Especially popular eras for inspiration include the mid-20th century, particularly the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. When it comes to artwork, vintage-inspired artwork evokes styles that were popular in years past and can incorporate images from photographs, newspapers, magazines and advertising.
Photographs from the mid-20th century enhanced with bright colors result in retro looks with contemporary touches, such as the retro series from RFA Decor’s Graphic MOD Collection or artist Michael Wolk’s works based on found vintage photographs.
Works by artist Robert Mars combine vintage magazines and advertisements with bright, painted patterns reminiscent of old-fashioned quilts.
Timeless works by artist Claudette go even further back. Some of her giclées would be equally at home in Downton Abbey as in a vintage-décor inspired home today.
