Retro and vintage are terms that are very similar, but also very different. They are both used to describe styles and fashion from decades ago. Usually, retro is used to describe styles from less than five decades ago and vintage is used to describe styles from fifty to a hundred years ago. Each one is similar in that they have a certain unique charm to them. Retro feels more nostalgic since it usually refers to styles popular from your early childhood to late teen years. A good example is lava lamps; they used to be extremely popular during the 80s and almost every child and teenager had one in their room. Vintage is less nostalgic and more charming in that it gives a feeling of going back in time to a simpler time. Vintage styles are usually not nostalgic because they are usually old and were not popular during childhood, but they are well recognized from old snapshots and stories from older generations.

It is important to understand the difference in order to choose the right home decor for your home. If you want something that is more fun and nostalgic, it is best to go for a more retro look. If you are look for a timeless, charming look it is best to go for a vintage look. Whatever you look you decide is right for you, you will find a large selectio here that you will love.

• Decide on an era and stick to it. Try not to mix styles from different eras, they will clash and make the room look messy. It is best to decide on one era and try not to stray more than a decade in terms of style.

• Choose a color scheme that is appropriate for the era you chose. For retro these colors are usually muted greens and orange or eye-popping red depending on the era.

• Patterns were very popular during the mid-20th century, expecially on wallpaper. Try to find patterns with geometric shapes and different colors.

• Use appliances that are retro and vintage style. A good way of adding a touvh of retro or vintage without braking the bank on furniture is too add appliances such as microwaves and telephones that are retro styled.

• Texture is a big part of the retro look. Shaggy carpets and soft vinyls are a staple of the 1970s for example.

• Lighting is also very important. Consider adding a lamp with soft yellow lighting or a decorative chandelier depending on the era you are looking to emulate.

• Go for shapes that are extreme on both ends. A round edge sofa with an edged coffee table for example.
