Did you feel the fifties creeping up?

Posted on 2010/06/24 by Henen in Drinks Trolley, fifties retro

50′s interior design style is burning hot right now! It has crept up slowly with just the odd 50s design classic here and there, like the string bookshelves and the Eames rocker for example, but now the interior design world appears to have fully embraced this decade as a source of inspiration. Here at Trendey we see more and more room designs with strong influences from the 50s (such as the pic above). 50s style is characterised by clean simple lines, rounded edges and a celebration of form as the focus of design. Some of my favourite 50s style items would be a simple teak drinks trolley with smooth curves, a cuddly radio set (so retro cool it hurts) and above all the super chic PH lamp (if only these ph-antastic lamps were cheaper! :))

    The look is great when decorating mid century modern homes.

    Thanks for the inspiration!  We are renovating a large home that was built in 1954.  The basement is a very dark retro, with original lights and original appliances… I have been wanting to keep with the retro feel but brighten it up to blend with today (and the rest of the house)… this was the perfect thing to get me moving in the right direction!!!
