Retro decor makes a comeback

Heena Jain, Head Design Consultant, WoodenStreet shares the interior decoration trends that you can follow to retro-fit your home:

1. Vintage rocking chairs

Rocking chairs are certainly not out-of-trend. In the 18th century they were in the limelight, and now once again see the spotlight. Authentic and ideal for a reading nook, they will make you feel cosy and relaxed.

2. Pendant lights

From ornate chandeliers to minimalist fixtures, adding light is a must to look vintage chic

3. Bold wallpapers

Bold wallpapers are back with a bang! Adding wallpaper over the front wall of the room with floral or some geometric pattern, gives a dramatic look

4. Velvet curtains and shag rugs

Want that 70's vibes to take a new turn? Opt for velvet curtains in bold colours. Shag rugs have come back in a new way, too. Ditch dark colours as they're much less daring today. Instead opt for more soft, cozy and fluffy ones.

5. L-Shaped conversation sofas

Perfect for a big living room, L shape sofas can be your home's cozy spot. Use neutral colours for the couch and bright pillows for added accent.

6. Wooden paneling

Trendy in the 90's, wooden paneling is no more old-fashioned and has made a comeback with slimmer slatted patterns and a smooth texture.

7. Houseplants

Aesthetic meets pure air in new homes, and houseplants serve both purposes well. Add a touch of nature to your spaces with the best indoor plants for your home.

Happy decorating!
