Old Things, New Again

retro-style living room

As people who help other people find homes they love, we get obsessed with what goes in a home as well … after all, making a home yours has a lot to do with what you put in it.

Today we’re sharing 5 picks for retro style, because everything old is indeed new again. (Even the mullet is coming back!)

Note: Nobody paid for these links and we aren’t officially endorsing any brands or products. We just like what we see!


1. A colored fridge

Stainless steel? So last decade. We’re seeing more and more retro-style colored fridges. Big Chill makes them (and other appliances) in more than 200 colors and a variety of options from slim to standard to “pro”.

2. A shag rug

So fluffy! No longer the scratchy, yarn-like versions of eras gone by, modern shag rugs are soft and inviting. This one from ruggable is even machine washable!

“I am SO excited to reveal the brand new product from #Ruggable: WASHABLE SHAG RUGS in two colors! Y’all have been asking me for so long about a higher pile version of their rugs, and let me tell you they totally delivered! It’s so soft and cozy under your feet, and the best part is like all the other ruggable rugs, it’s WASHABLE! Think about how many times you wish you could get a stain out of your favorite shag rug, but it was too deep in the shag to reach? With three cats, I could never get away with a solid white rug before, but now I get the look I want with the durability I really need for our home! I thought I loved Ruggable rugs before, but now I’m totally obsessed…” – @peonyandhoney ☁️ 💕

3. A velvet chair

Especially paired with a wood frame and clean lines, velvet brings mid-century style that fits in with modern decor. The Nord chair from Article adds a Scandinavian vibe that’s pretty much perfection.

4. A beaded curtain

Your space will be instantly at least 70% groovier with a beaded curtain in a doorway, over a window, on a wall, or in place of a closet door. Urban Outfitters has a lineup of designs to shop.

5. Anything rattan

Rattan has made a huge comeback recently, bringing a 70s-inspired touch to everything from chairs to beds to bookscases like this versatile pick from joybird.
