Frame with plants
Leaving kitchen utensils, we are now going to go into decorations aimed at environments such as living room, office and dining room. And the best way to get started with this tip is with plant frames. Widely used in the 80’s, this type of painting, when placed on a white wall, gives an incredible effect, enhancing the environment even more.
Telephone
Surely you must have seen one of these at your grandmother’s house when you were a child!
Old phones are already considered key pieces in the world of retro decor. Adding a more charming touch to the place, you can find not only models for decoration but also for use. In addition, the colors of this accessory can inspire you to unleash your imagination when putting it in your home.
Light fixture with cassette tape
Are you one of those people who love to create decorative tools with their own hands? Well, if so, this tip is a great suggestion!
You know those cassette tapes you don’t use anymore? How about giving them a new destination? This simple decoration model can be done with just a few ribbons, a light holder such as a flasher or light bulb and hot glue.
Bookcase
Shelves are not just accessories used to store things. For that reason, you can choose one that fits the retro pattern, like the one in the photo. Bringing a more minimalist air to the environment, organize the utensils that will be stored in this piece of furniture, so that they are more in harmony with the place. Therefore, bet on lamps, books and magazines.
Make a retro makeup
If you look at the photo, you will see that every detail contributes to a journey through time. A simple sideboard gains more personality when combined with a cactus pot and other accessories. Another element that we cannot leave aside is the tapestry frame with geometric figures and the lighting that is due to a lamp suspended by a golden chain.
Suspended Acrylic Armchair
The acrylic chair suspended from the ceiling was a fad in the 60’s and 70’s, and if you’re looking for a vintage (or retro) style in your decor, consider this accessory. Being perfect for the bedroom or living room, do as in the example, match the color of the pillows with the other upholstery of the environment.
A Different Servant

The final touch can be given by the record player, which can be purchased at various home accessory stores, such as Uva Verde and Imaginarium, for example.
Square Colored Bookcase
Composing your living room with this type of bookcase will guarantee more life to the environment, precisely because these elements have different colors. Bringing the air of old offices, the holes and creases are the details that will make the difference to your nostalgic environment.
Geometric Pillows
Geometric pillows were a strong decorating trend in the 60s and 70s. Therefore, when highlighted on the living room sofa, they result in a unique style. However, if they are colored, like the ones in the photo, to make them more harmonious, it is important that the sofa be neutral and without prints.
Rocking Chair and Cactus
For those pleasant hours of reading or just relaxing, a rocking chair can come in handy. And in the case of the photo it can be stylish. Another very valid element is the cactus, this plant that is often forgotten will make the composition of its environment even more interesting.

Partitions
When you want to separate one room from another, without using a wall, partitions can be the best solution. In the 80s, they were widely used in homes, through a large wooden or curtain. This kind of separation from the environment becomes even more interesting when combined with chairs, table and lamp, as well as those in the scenario.
Bathrooms
