What’s so amazing about this particular style is that it’s everlasting – meaning what you choose to incorporate in your home today would still be stylish years from now.

Moreover, another benefit is that it’s also encompassing various styles together from different eras, which makes it that much easier to welcome it in your abode, choosing elements from the past decades that most impress you and speak of your personality.

The best of all is there are endless options available in the stores, so it wouldn’t be that difficult to find the wanted pieces in the most suitable prices. Still, if you can’t afford to fully embrace retro design, here are some pieces we recommend that would help bring in the nostalgic breeze and add a whimsical touch to your décor.

The TV Stand


As a central part of the mid-century homes, the TV area is one you should focus on if you want to create a bigger impact without breaking your bank, more so knowing there’s a wide array of retro tv cabinets you can choose from.

For the true vintage appeal, you can’t go wrong opting for a wooden design, in the likes of oak, teak or walnut – you’d come to love them for their durability, minimalist look and versatility. Not to mention, there are models that are so eye catching, you can use them in other rooms beside the living room if you grow tired of the look.

This is even truer for retro tv stands with various compartments and drawers, perfect for the space-savvy homes that can be repurposed into anything (idea: as substitutes for console tables). Yes, they can even serve you great for showcasing your lovely book collections or artwork you’re particularly fond of.

The Armchair


If you’re thinking of what to pair with the tv stand retro, turn to the help of an armchair. Available in an extensive range of shapes, colours and materials, from oval and squared earthy toned models, to the vibrant bright coloured and unusually shaped models, there’s the right chair for everyone – even those with the most exquisite taste. What’s so great about this kind of furniture is the fact the retro-chic flair it evokes can easily turn it into a statement piece in your abode, so you can make the most of it as an accent piece in the living room, hallway, bedroom, or guestroom.

If you don’t have the needed space, you could even replace the sofa with a pair of armchairs or create a reading nook by the bookcase in the home office; the possibilities are endless! For an additional dose of comfort, simply throw more cushions or throw blankets.

Another great combination is pairing them with groovy patterned ottomans. Don’t be surprised if thanks to this cosiness they end up being your favourite pieces of furniture where you love to unwind and relax, and maybe even take a quick refreshing nap.

The Dining Table


Whether you’re a fan of eating in front of the TV or skipping a meal altogether, doesn’t matter – fact is the dining room is still a relevant part of the home as it once was. It’s the place where families get to eat together over a chat, and gather up with friends throwing parties and celebrating events.

To make this room even more special than it is, welcome retro style wood dining table in a warm finish with personality that evokes the past eras, to get that much wanted mid-century feel. Fret not if you can’t afford to buy the matching chairs as you can blend it seamlessly with the chairs you already have at home: think of the perfect merge of retro with contemporary design.

The Light Fixture


What better way to grab the attention than with a pendant? You can find this type of lighting fixture in various geometrical shapes, designs and materials that would easily blend in with your interior décor. Imagine how a wrought iron cage pendant would look in the living room, lighting up the wooden retro tv cabinets, or right above the dining tables – the interest in these areas would considerably grow without it feeling overbearing.

The Bed


As the main feature in the bedroom, the bed is the furniture piece that’s important equally with functionality and aesthetics. Though the market is abundant in options of beds nowadays, choosing the retro platform bed means you’d get the needed support and stability to catch the z’s in comfort, and wake up well-rested without aches and pains.

Furthermore, the design is mid-century with clean lines that fit in perfectly with existing styles, so you can count on a harmonious outcome in the aesthetic sense. For those who are looking for something extra, most of the models provide storage right under the platform which especially comes in handy with smaller homes.
