Retro-Chic interior design

I must be honest and say that i do not know exactly how to define the retro-chic style, but i can say that i can identify it from a distance :)

Retro-Chic is a mixture between the colorful '70s style and the simple modern lines. In this design you can play with prints, wallpaper, and modern art and have fun with the simple furniture which doesn't have to be symmetrical  or in a certain color. 

As you may know by now, wallpapers are in a comeback,and thanks to the new technology they some of the manufactures make them even ecological. But most important there are specialized companies that customize them with your pictures, drawings, images that you like or they can even design your own print idea. This way not only you give your house a personality, and underline your walls, but the wall paper may even become a piece of art which integrates in your home easily.

In the Retro-Chic design style you must keep in mind although not to clutter your room with to many prints.
For example, if you choose a rug with geometrical forms and more than 3 colors, it is better to go with furniture in just one color,and white in my opinion is the best. This way both pieces individualize.

Also if you use colorful wallpaper behind the sofa, it is best that it should have a neutral color, like black,white or even grey. In the pictures you may see below, that i have chosen you will surely understand what i am saying, and also visualize what type of furniture is included in this style.

Feel free to make comments and ask questions and i will come back to you! :)

Remember what ever design you choose for your home, don't forget to put your signature on it!
A design with personality, is a good design! :)
