Retro fabulous

One of my favourite design styles is retro. My living room is retro-themed but I've been thinking lately that it could still use some work. So I went looking for some photos of retro rooms to get some inspiration and I stumbled across these and thought WOW - how FABULOUS!!! Way I see it, if you're going to do something, you might as well go all the way. Don't you agree?

Retro yellow

I bought a great book today from my friend's retro store. I'm a sucker for 60s and 70s interior books. "How to Make your Windows Beautiful" A Kirsch Publication Vol IV 1972. Seeing that yellow has been a favourite around here I thought I'd share a few images from this treasure.

Retro revisited

Time for more rooms with that mid century vibe. I never tire of an eclectic mix of treasured retro pieces and contemporary touches.

"The main purpose of my work is to provoke people into using their imagination. Most people spend their lives housing in dreary, grey-beige conformity, mortally afraid of using colours. By experimenting with colours, textiles and furniture and utilizing the latest technologies, I try to new ways, to try to encourage people to use their fantasy and make their surroundings more exciting." - Verner Panton 1926-1998

The first four images are archival photos of Panton interiors. The last four are some of his design classics. For more amazing images check out Verner Panton Design.

Retro revolting

Take a deep breath or better yet anti-nausea meds. Look what has come out of the vaults.
