Embracing this sense of deja vu

Its safe to say we are having a deja vu moment currently, and the trend for all things retro and vintage is showing no signs of waning. Everything from Brigitte Bardot style sunglasses and nautically striped tops, to psychedelic nail varnishes in the latest hot oranges and electric blues are gracing our bodies. So why not truly embrace the trend and dress your home to boot? Our White and Cream gloss wardrobes scream 1960s, and teamed together with loud retro graphics and aged leather trunks will create you the perfect haven to transport you back to those heady care-free days. Although retro is all about wild graphics and fabrics in bold geometric patterns, to keep your bedroom a balanced, calm and tranquil place set these against a neutral background, keeping walls, flooring and furniture (wardrobes, drawers and bedside tables) white or cream. Don’t be afraid to mix your colours up a bit – the retro style is carefree colour wise and embraces reds with pinks and oranges and a little bit of avocado green thrown in there. Just mix your patterns with some solid colours so as not to overpower. Don’t be afraid to mix and match – a bit of modern with a bit of retro to create a truly unique space.

Injecting Glamour

Shorter days mean more hours spent at home so why not make it magical and glamorous.

Lighting and oodles of it is theĀ easiest way to create a sultrey hang out – lots of low level lighting, coupled with fairy lights and candles, shout park avenue fabulousness like nothing else I know. Texture and whoomping up high voltage contrasts of skiny, smooth and slubby surfaces also ups the style ratings.

If you want a space that tantalises, seduces and thrills then layer different textures together. Imagine slubby throws juxtaposed with metallic cushions sitting alongside a softly woven rug. Heaven!
