Do it! Create a retro look

update handles to sleek brass pull bars or more relaxed retro wooden cup handles like abigail’s.

revamp original or replica retro dining chairs or stools by upholstering seat pads in a mid-century colour palette of ochre, green or teal.

source original ceramics from charity shops, boot fairs and ebay or look for modern pieces with a throwback feel, relief patterns, geometric prints or that feature naive illustrations inspired by Fifties and sixties designs.

For a contemporary twist on mid-century style, go for tiles with a geometric design in muted tones such as grey or blue, or choose a white 3D design.

Danish-inspired layered shades or origami-style pendants bring a designer edge to the space.
