Retro Cushions

Styling with Retro Cushions

With retro style you can pull out all the stops and embrace a zingy way of decorating by accessorising to your heart's’ content. The 1950s broke new ground with colour, and our collection of retro cushions reflects just that. Funky, bold, eye-catching patterns, especially abstracts and geometrics, stylised floral cushions, are all retro style essentials. Simply put, the styles “anything goes” attitude means there is nothing laid-back or casual about it.

Whenever you think of homes of the mid-20th century, specific colourful cushions may come to mind. Jewel-toned hues had a staying power, and a combination of bold and saturated colours was the quickest way to create a solid base for building a retro style. Bring this style into your home with some funky cushions in colour combinations of turquoise and orange, hot pink with purple, fire engine red and black and white hues. Bold greens are also a popular addition to retro styling, followed closely by mustard yellow and combinations of brown, black, red, navy, and teal.

Infusing retro style into your interior scheme requires attention to every detail. Most often this style is linked to rich patterns like that in chevron cushions and opulent fabrics and texture. Of course, utilising retro cool cushions in various textures is an ideal place to start. Sumptuous Velvet, faux fur, cotton linen can be brought together to create a space that is both stylish and hip. The idea is to create a living space that stays timeless and can be easily altered with changing design trends.
