Retro

A contemporary approach that deliberately recalls the look of an earlier period.

The definition

What is Retro?

Retro design refers back to past decorative styles through form, colour, imagery or pattern. An object can be retro in appearance while newly manufactured. Vintage generally describes an older object, so the terms should not be treated as interchangeable.

The Westloft perspective

In the World of Westloft

Use a graphic print or distinctive colour combination to introduce a period reference. Mix it with current pieces so that the room reflects your taste rather than recreating a catalogue.
