How to achieve a Modern Retro home
The Modern Retro home has a fun flair to it with lots of bright colours, great textures, and fabrics! If you haven’t heard of this fun style, it’s pulled from the decades between 1950 to ’70s. Creating this style in your home can be tricky, especially as the Modern Retro style is very bold, and when done wrong can look very over the top.

Colour
Most Modern Retro homes usually have the popular avocado green and mustard colour scheme. To keep it modern and in our decade, make sure to add neutral colours, such as brown, black, and white.

Textures and Pattern
The retro style definitely has a lot of textures. Not only is it a very visual home, but it’s also a style with lots of things you can touch. Besides the poplars shag rug, adding other textures such as velvet or fluffy cushions can bring the modern retro feel together.

Lighting
You can have a lot of fun with this by using coloured lights or light covers with tassels! Just remember to create the modern look and make sure you have balance. Use your lights to either add more “retro touches” or neutralise the style. A simple rounded floor lamp may be all you need.
