We’ve all seen these designs: “Didn’t Aunt Clara have this wallpaper behind the dining table? And this one here – the parents of my first boyfriend used this to paper a wall in their living room. Actually, it wasn’t exactly the same wallpaper: this one looks a bit different...” Correct! These retro wall coverings have been spiced up a little, so they are reminiscent of the past but your wall doesn’t appear to be stuck in a time warp. Retro with a twist, in other words. As a playful throwback to the decades from the 1950s to the 1970s, therefore, these wallpapers are ideally suited to modern homes. For best results, experiment with furniture and accessories too: rather than choosing a single style, create an eclectic mix of items from different eras.
