1. pine furniture – decorate with pine
Pine was long the wood that everyone loved to hate, but recently more and more people have felt a strong desire to make their modern homes more cozy – and retro pine has just that effect. A single piece of décor or furniture in light wood can transform a room, to say the least, adding a warm and natural feel. Keep an eye out for pine-framed mirrors, cabinets, benches, tables, kitchen sofas and armchairs in pine.
2. ceramic vases
A fun retro vase is a sure-fire way to brighten up a room! Ceramic vases, preferably glazed in bright colors, can be placed on the coffee table, shelf or window. As with many other things, you can often find the most unique vases or ceramics second hand.
3. Ocean-inspired objects
Our longing for the natural is an interior design trend that is reflected not only in the choice of materials, but also in the ornaments we want to display. Shell-shaped lamps, sculptures of sea goddesses and glass jars with beautiful stones are therefore all the rage right now.
4. retrofit lamps
With the right lighting, you can give a cold room a real facelift and now we are thirsty for retro lamps of all kinds. Playful shapes and colors or stylish designs in materials like steel and brass – what suits your home best? At Tradera you will find affordable lamps.
5. Hand-painted porcelain
Make every meal more festive for generations to come by serving food on beautiful hand-painted plates. If you look second hand, you can sometimes find entire sets of plates, bowls, cups and saucers at a fraction of the price of a newly produced set. You can also find collectibles by our most beloved designers of both Swedish ceramics and foreign ceramics.
6. table lamps
The recommended number of light sources to make a room comfortable is seven to ten, and we’d like to suggest that your next lamp purchase should be a table lamp. A table lamp can both act as an ornament and light up dark corners to make the room feel bigger. Place the lamp in the window, on a beautiful corner table or by a floor plant for a cool lighting effect.
7. colorful lampshades
Spruce up a beloved old lamp by changing the shade. With a lampshade with an exciting structure or in a colorful retro pattern, both the lamp and the room will get new life. This applies to floor, wall and table lamps.
8. teak furniture
It’s not hard to understand why classic teak furniture from the 1950s is in fashion. Not only does retro hardwood furniture have an elegant design, it’s also very sturdy and functional. Another advantage is that teak furniture works well with other styles – a stylish teak bookcase, chair or sideboard is often a perfect addition to a modern home.
9. The string rack
The string shelf is a Swedish classic among shelves that can be placed in the hallway, kitchen or living room. The minimalist design of the shelf emphasizes the objects placed in it, which makes the shelf tell something about the taste and interests of its owner.
10. cushion cover
If you’ve been thinking about replacing your sofa, there’s something much cheaper you can try – buying new cushion covers for the decorative cushions. With a couple of colorful cushions with retro patterns, for example from the 10 Group or Josef Frank, the sofa will feel both more fun and more inviting. A tip is to mix strong colors and graphic patterns, as it creates an exciting depth.
