Not all people like to live surrounded by technological things and modern technologies, some people want to live regular and calm life, like in the middle of the last century. Among the fans of this time there are not only the elderly but also young people, listening to old records and viewing with great delight movies of the past years.
This apartment is a vivid example how to equip modern housing, using recognizable elements of the retro style. The interior doesn’t look absolutely outdated, due to the fact that modern materials are used in finishing. As for furniture, though, it claims by its view belonging to the past century, it is new.
The living room, combined with a miniature kitchen, is a small and light premise, despite the fact that there is only one window here. As the basis of decoration it was used gray color – it is a neutral shade that combines well with any color scheme. Some people find it boring and grim, but one should not rush to conclusions.
A grey color is a great background for bright shades. Just remember rocky cliffs, decorated with lush greenery, clouds in the sky, lit by a rainbow or sun rays. Grey – a natural tone, and how it will be in the result depends on designer’s decisions. In this case, it is well diluted by a red color and thanks to it both shades have won.
In the living room there are two comfortable straight sofas with contrasting colors, a small table and a stub pole in the style of the last century. Modern elements have something in common with elements in the retro style and create a positive general impression.
The kitchen takes a small area where the authors of the project were managed to arrange all necessary things for cooking. It is convenient to work in the compact area because everything is at hand and in easy to get to. The refrigerator is located in the niche; three spacious hanging cupboards can store all existing utensils and other things.
The second room in this apartment is allocated for the bedroom. The role of bedside tables is played by small tables in the style of the fifties, for storing things there is a wardrobe of the same era, complemented by comfortable drawers, replacing the dresser. A small black-and-white table plays a role of a working table, and a dressing table. Nothing superfluous, but there is all necessary for comfortable rest.
