NOSTALGIA MEETS MODERN DESIGN WITH TILE OF SPAIN
As the design world continues to embrace nostalgia, the 70s aesthetic has made a striking comeback in modern interiors. Perfectly capturing the vibrant and nostalgic essence of the this era, retro floral tiles remain a popular choice for designers looking to infuse their interiors with a groovy, quirky charm. Defined by playful colours and vivid patterns, these tiles provide a refreshing alternative to minimalist designs, adding visual interest and texture to any space.
Rich terracottas, mustard yellows, deep browns, and avocado greens are key colours defining the retro aesthetic in interiors. These warm, grounding shades capture the relaxed yet bold essence of the 70s, making them ideal for adding vintage charm to both contemporary and traditional spaces. Pairing these nostalgic hues with neutral palettes can create a balanced yet visually stunning scheme, blending old school appeal with modern elegance. Unusual patterns were a defining feature of retro tiles, originally loved for adding visual interest to floors, walls, splashbacks and even outdoor spaces. Today, these bold designs are making a stylish comeback. With their abstract look and distinctive shapes, geometric patterns are particularly popular, perfect for those looking to make a statement and transform interiors into works of art.
