what is

Retro Revival is looking back at styles of the past, replicating or reproducing the essence of that period to work with our modern lifestyle. You can be a purest and study the style to the finest detail or do what I have and take the elements you love from those periods and give them a tweak.

RETROREVIVAL

The early sixties were sleek, sophisticated and cool. Abstract art and colours that pop, which will make you stand out from the crowd.

Never afraid of strong colours, the sixties were about making a statement. You can go as far as you want with strong bold colours on the wall and juxtapose it with crisp leather and soft rugs. Balance this with original timber pieces and you have sixties wrapped up with class.

Made for elegance, not lounging

Search antique and second hand shops for original pieces of timber furniture to balance the old and new and give the room a sense of honesty to the period.

The more mixed up colours and surfaces the better. The sleek white leather and chrome of the Eames style chair somehow feels right against the patina developed over time on the desk. Each item tells a story, the muted tones of the wall and globe play a supporting role to the pop and energy of the greens and oranges.

A place for dreamersVintage can be a mix of all eras from thirty years old onwards. Sixties and seventies pop colours, frame the romantic notion of watching the faded world globe spin as you dream of far away adventures.

Bold, brash and everything that can clash. The louder the colour, the brighter the pattern and you’re hearing the seventies tune.

This is a time of innovation and one hit wonders, so mix up your patterns and decorations and really have fun with it. So it doesn’t go out of control like the original decade, keep your colours strong but use a simple palette of sunburst yellows and warm oranges.

Strong colours and bold accessories

Strong iconic symbols of the Australian lifestyle give a real sense of fun and homage to the seventies. This is all about relaxing and not taking yourself too seriously.

Red is the colour for the fifties in solid, stripe, gingham and polka dots. Mix this together with pastel greens and blues and you have captured the colours to give your dining area a sense of fun. Then finish it off with a kiss of pink for love.
