Creating Modern Retro Style

Creating Modern Retro Style

Ever wondered how to create a retro style to suit your modern home?
Modern retro style provides a nostalgic flavour of by-gone times, usually from the 1950s, 60s, 70s or even the 1980s.  You can create a retro look for your home by choosing a particular period and re-creating a room from that era, or alternatively, choose a few retro items of furniture to go into a modern room to create eye-catching signature pieces.

Here are a few of our favourite modern retro pieces from the Danetti furniture range.

Lota Trendy Round Dining Table

The Lota Trendy Round Dining Table is an eye-catching retro style dining table which will seat four people. The stylish round table top is available in either a rich dark Wenge finish or White High Gloss Lacquer finish.
The table top is supported by four trendy tapered legs finished in shiny chrome. This would look gorgeous in a modern kitchen-diner teamed up with some curvy retro dining chairs.
