Now that we got that out of the way…if you’re in need of a fresh look to your otherwise tired décor, consider retro wallpaper! Here are some patterns to consider when updating your walls:
- Leaves. This fall inspired pattern – especially with foil accents – is a great look for a family room or kitchen. Honestly, any nature-inspired wallpaper is considered “retro” and a great look!
- Deco. In the 1920’s, the art deco look was the fashion of the year. Now, nearly 100 years later, it’s coming back around again. The most common pattern? Diamonds.
- Vibrance. If you’re brave enough to go with bold colors, consider vibrant wallpaper. Reds, oranges, and greens are all great, and vibrant, colors to consider for your wallpaper.
- Metallics. Don’t go full mirror ball with the wallpaper – just consider a matte gold, silver, or bronze color.
- Wallpaper-as-art. Rather than cover the whole wall with wallpaper, consider a small square of wallpaper as a work of art.
- Feminine style. Anything that has a typical “feminine” touch – flowers, Romantic colors – can provide a good, retro feel for a bedroom.
- Black and White. A timeless color combination that never goes out of style, when you incorporate this color combination into your wallpaper, it will bring a nice retro feel to any room (but it’s particularly great for a bathroom!).
