Evoke Nostalgia With These 4 Retro-Style Furniture Ideas

We encounter nostalgic moments every now and then, and most of these moments will make you all sentimental, longing for what you once had. Wouldn’t it be nice if we had the luxury of reliving these nostalgic moments in the present? It’s possible with retro-style furniture! Retro minimalist interior design has always been a crowd favourite, and the reason behind this is that it evokes nostalgia.

Opt for Timeless Rattan Furniture Set

Rattan tops the list of materials that make your furniture timeless. Rattan has been the go-to material for chairs at home since as early as in the 90s’, and for a good reason! Firstly, this naturally-sourced material is both durable and comfortable. Its see-through look reduces visual blockage, which will make our small urban homes look instantly larger in size. Moreover, its see-through pattern would mean better air circulation even if the air-conditioner is not turned on. Practical and rustic, it’s no wonder that rattan furniture is trending when it comes to home interior designs. At Comfort Furniture, you’re spoilt for choice with their countless options of rattan dining chairs and bar chairs. And if cost is an issue, they even carry synthetic rattan options to replicate the vibes of real rattan, but at a fraction of its price.

The sofa is perhaps the most-used furniture at home, be it day or night. If you’d like a sofa that’s timeless in every way, the Rafael Rattan 2-Seater Sofa is the one you need. It bears resemblance to everyone’s favourite couch, back when they were living with or visiting their grandparents. Talk about nostalgia. It’ll also be the perfect centrepiece of a vintage-inspired living room.

The Return of Terrazzo

If rattan is timeless, terrazzo is eternal. This ‘marble chips in concrete’ is the material for tiles back in the days. It was also used in the construction of public buildings like schools during that era, which is why the previous generation was so fond of it. Terrazzo furniture such as dining tables and coffee tables make great home furniture, not just because of its nostalgic charm, but also for its durability and low maintenance.

Imagine having dinner with good company on a beautiful cafe-style dining table like the Terrazzo x Gala Dining Table, where everyone starts talking about how life was back then. So wonderful.

Create a Retro Vibe With Wood Furniture

Ever wondered if there’s the right type of wood furniture to create a retro vibe? Of course there is! Choose a wood shade that’s too pale, and you’ll end up creating a Scandinavian or Japandi-themed room. Choose a shade that’s too dark, and you’d have crossed into the zen theme. The essence of retro-looking wood furniture is to choose a medium brown wood shade like cocoa, almond or walnut.

Introduce a Fun Combination of Colours

The best part of home interior designs back in the days were the combination of colours used. This is evident in many of the vintage-inspired living room exhibits you can spot during furniture events and roadshows. There’s never a ‘right shade’ – as long as it uplifts the mood at home, it’s a go. The key to giving that retro colour blocking look an updated feel is to nail the colour contrast. Instead of colour blocking pumpkin orange with teal blue in a 1:1 ratio, try mixing these colours with a neutral (non-overpowering) coloured furniture in a 1:5 ratio.
