Vintage and retro trends in home décor
Modern home décor trends featured straight, sharp, clean lines and minimalistic aesthetics. However, vintage home design trends are being predicted to be making a great comeback in 2022.
This may be attributed to the warm and welcoming feelings emitted by soft, curvy retro furniture and the comforting and energising atmosphere bright colours bring out.
To make the trend work for you, consider adding textured pieces to your décor such as velvet pillows or a throw. A bold, colourful couch as a vibrant centrepiece could breathe new life into your lounging area.
We also have to consider that since the beginning of the pandemic, and even as it is slowly something we hope to put behind us, our homes have been our places of work, rest and socialising and so we are trying to have more items that serve a functional purpose. With all the changes that we have had to make, clinging to something familiar and antique can add a homely feeling to any dual-purpose room. Vintage-inspired designs also bring a sense of storytelling and history.
Want to bring back warm, fond memories of your childhood home and make your space reflect your personality? Now is the perfect time to get a few retro-inspired items for your house.
There may be nothing new under the sun, but how you style it will make all the difference!
