1950’s retro dining sets
Celebrity decor meets 1950’s retro dining sets and living rooms with retro style. Fashion has entered back into the vintage world and so is interior decorating. Retro is the theme and it is back in style with vivid colors and odd shaped art and decor. I did not think that this decor would circulate again, but it has. I think it is only back for a short trend, though. People are falling in love with retro all over again, or the first time for people who did not experience it before. I like some items, but to have my entire living space flourished back in time in the 1050’s, I do not think so. But I do like the twist some interior designers are putting on the furniture designs.
Rather like fashion, the only problem with the original retro items is the fabrics and the materials that were used. The designs and shapes are great, but the tacky materials let them down. Whereas, the new retro-modern items creations - that have been inspired by 50s and 60s design - benefit from modern materials and techniques. Check out some of the fab new items on blogs such as retrotogo.com + switchedonset.com . The PANTS table by Melia is also a fantastic example of modern retro kitsch!
