More about Retro Furniture

Now we’re not exactly luddites at Fy!, but that doesn’t mean we don’t appreciate the charms of designs from yesteryear. In fact, we think that this selection of retro furniture is fantastic precisely because it shows us where our favourite contemporary designs came from, granting our homes a certain sense of quirky authenticity in the process.

Where to begin? Well, if you’re looking to dip your toe into the world of retro furniture, a sleek armchair is an ideal place to start. Eye-catching but not overbearing these will play nice with just about any existing decor. If you have a lot of minimalist decor that is mostly unpainted wood and dark metal, a 50s-style armchair in a lighter tone and softer materials will provide a welcoming contrast, without standing out like a sore thumb. You can use side tables in a similar way, they’re pretty useful too when it comes to balancing drinks and hors d'oeuvres.

Or go all out with a chic retro table! We think a dining room table in glam, pop-art-esque bright colors is a fantastic way to make dinner time fun again, but then again what good is such a cheery table without some cheery seating? Luckily we’ve got you covered there too: try plush chairs with abstract patterns on them that bring even more vitality into the dining room. Keep things on theme with an Art Deco or mid-century modern candelabra as a centrepiece.
