Retro Home

Retro home is a nostalgic look at 20th-century house style, taking you on a magical interior design trip. Starting in 1910 and ending in the 1990s, it's a decade-by-decade exploration of chic design style. Remember your parents' corner sofas and the patterned carpet? The oh-so-daring conversation pits and shap pile carpets? You will see all those and more in this excellent sourcebook of retro design. This is the first book to show you how to creat the retro look. Each era features a guide to the colours and trends, followed by advice on recreating the look. To conclude, a glimpse into the homes of people whose authentic interiors encapsulate that era today. Choose from the arty bohemia of the 1910s, the chic 20s of the Flappers, the elegant Art Deco styles of the 30s and 40s, or the modernism of the 50s. You may be more cool with the dazzling Pop Art of the 60s, the penthouse cosmopolitan 70s, the Post-Modern elclectic 80s, or 90s loft living. Whatever your style, there is a scheme for you among this revealing collection of stunning retro homes.
