We can learn a lot from #interiordesign trends from the past but when we go back to the 50s, 60s or 70s we can still find inspiration to create a #homedecor that feels modern but full of character and uniqueness. With the help of an interior designer you can reinterpret the #retrostyle for your home in Fuerteventura using iconic retro pieces of furniture in a modern home. Think about the influence that those decades still have on fashion, lifestyle, music, decor, and furniture and discover a playful and elegant way to live your life at home.

Retro style is all about shapes and forms, especially when it comes to the internal doors, usually designed with unconventional shapes. This interior design style is all about elegance and a specific colour palette that can range from black and white to more colourful options if you pick no more than 2 colours. Of course, you should plan these details in the early stages of your #homerenovation and with Noogar you don’t need to worry about anything since we can arrange and manage a home renovation in Fuerteventura from beginning to end.

When it comes to #furniture, it becomes extremely easy to create a contemporary home with touches of retro and vintage décor. The #armchair and chairs will become one of the most important elements of your retro #interiordecor as they are still sophisticated and with that old-fashioned look that will bring your right back to the 70s. If you think about it, the famous Eames Lounge Chair designed by Charles and Ray #Eames is from the 50s and it is still featured in so many interior #design projects. Overall, the retro style furniture is immediately recognizable for its abstract style. Retro coffee tables, chairs, dining tables and sofas all have their unique shape and personality that conveys a specific decade.

To complete your retro style interior, you should include vintage home décor elements like an antique mirror, rug, and of course the old-fashioned retro lamp. Colours are usually bright and unconventional, like avocado green and one of our favourites, mustard yellow. If you are not keen on coloured, painted furniture, you can add colour with artworks on the walls and for this reason, in our Retro Collection on the Noogar Shop you will also find some #originalpaintings from artist from the Canary Islands.
