Retro Home is a nostalgic look at 20th-century house style, taking you on a magic interior design trip. Starting in 1910 and ending in the 1990s, it's a decade-by-decade exploration of chic design style. Remember your parents' corner sofas and the patterned carpet? The oh-so-daring conversation pits and shag pile carpets? You will see all those and more in this unique sourcebook of retro design.

This is the first book to show you how to create the retro look. Each era features a guide to the trends of the times, followed by advice on re-creating the look. In addition, each chapter offers a glimpse into the homes of people whose authentic interiors encapsulate that era today.

Choose from the arty bohemia of the 1910s, the chic 20s of the flappers, the elegant Art Deco styles of the 30s and 40s, or the modernism of the 50s. Those who prefer a more modern look can choose between the dazzling Pop Art of the 60s, the penthouse cosmopolitan 70s, the Post-modern eclectic 80s, or 90s loft living. Whatever your style, there is a scheme for you among this revealing collection of stunning retro homes.
