70s styling has influenced fashion, music and film so it is no surprise that we are embracing this nostalgic trend in our personal spaces. The bohemian glam aesthetic with its modern edge and vibrant colour palette has caught the eye of many.

A retro inspired wall design uses an expressive palette to add colour and movement to a white bedroom.

A neutral kitchen benefits from an uplifting palette of bold colours that stand the test of time. The combination of light walls, wood tones, small pops of bold orange and navy allow cabinets to become the focus. The soft modern look fits well with current décor and lifestyle trends.

Retro Avocado is a warm and nuanced green that makes a perfect accent for a retro dining room.  This bold green also creates the perfect background for white and aqua ceramics and tinted glassware.

Nocturne Blue is a refined navy that shines when paired with warm olive-green accents in décor or furniture.
