Vintage Retro
Interior Decorating Ideas Using Retro Lamps - Retro is Back
It's happening again. The styles and fashions that we thought we'd seen the last of a decade ago are re-emerging as the latest thing in chic design and people are going mad for it. In fact, one of interior furnishings mainstays throughout the eras has been the humble lamp and while bench surfaces, chairs, lounges and most other room items have gone through drastic changes, many of the retro lamps that emerged in the 1950s and 60s are still preferred today.
The great thing about decorating in retro style is that almost anything goes, as long as it is fun, combines shapes and colors and looks unique. Floor lamps such as the Arco lamp that reaches from one side of the reading chair to the other still looks appropriate, as does the square lampshade on a wooden pedestal base. From there it's up to your own discerning eye as to how funky you want to make the lamp shade with options of trimmings, tassels or prints to bring out your retro preference.
The great thing about deciding on a retro lamp is that if you don't particularly like the look of the traditional lamps from the era, you also have the more space-aged looking lamps that were inspired by the exuberance of the post-war optimism. New products such as melamine spattered with chrome and designs that were sleek and sophisticated combined to produce a very forward thinking look.
The great thing about using the vintage retro lamps that your parents loved is that the burnt orange lamp shades or the avocado ceramic lamp stand is now cool again because, well because it's retro.

Hello fellow Aussie, it is nice to see you here. I make Fabric Wall Art in all kinds of themes. Retro and Vintage is one of my favourites as well. I have made a lot of them recently and my favourite vintage one would have to be one i did in Amy Butler fabric, thus it did not take long to sell it. I live in Qld and only charge $10 for postage no matter where you are in Australia. I also do special orders and can work with you to create a unique piece or set just for you. I would need to know your favourite colours ect and then i can find fabrics to match. Please contact me at my website if you have any further questions. Have a look at my website for some inspiration and ideas.
