Meet Retro Replay, our homeware collection that rewinds to mid-century design and hits play on modern living. We’re talking bold, characterful, nostalgia-laced interiors that bring the best of the 70s into the now.
From sculptural silhouettes and warm burnt oranges to rich dark woods and playful prints, this trend is all about being confident with home interiors. Whether you’re adding a pop of colour to your cushions or going all in with statement furniture, this trend lets you style your space in a way that feels authentically you.
Here’s how we’re styling it, room by room…
The grooviest seat in the house
Let’s start in the heart of the home. In our Retro Replay living room, things are all about texture, shape and saturated colour. The Chicago Sofa anchors the space in a plush olive tone, while the Alba Accent Chair brings contrast in a rich rust fabric.
Layers of boucle, waffle, and embroidery in the cushion covers add a tactile touch, while the Zahara Rug in burnt orange underneath brings a cheeky nod to the 70s without going full Austin Powers.
Our advice for your retro living room is to keep your palette warm with rust, olive, mustard and blush, then add depth with walnut-toned woods and funky lighting.
Wake up to wow
Dreaming of a bedroom that feels bold but balanced? The Ascot Bright Orange Bed brings soft curves and modern comfort together in one statement-making frame. Upholstered in bright orange fabric, it’s a showstopper and really owns the room.
We’ve paired it with our Abstract Floral Throw for an extra layer of luxury, while crisp white bed linen keeps things feeling fresh and balanced. The Georgie Bedside Table adds the perfect extra depth to the room, with a grooved star design that adds just the right amount of drama.
Serve personality with every plate
In the dining room, silhouettes are bold, tones are warm, and the accessories pop. The Lucy 4 Seater Dining Table gives a geometric nod to mid-century interiors with its sculptural base, while the Hattie Dining Chairs bring the energy with their rich orange hue and stitched panel detail. They’re the easiest way to brighten a room without picking up a paintbrush.
A tonal rug softens the space, and a playful Retro Table Lamp keeps the mood just right for everything from brunch to board games. Don’t forget a pop of florals and mocha reactive glaze bowls from our Juniper Dinnerware Collection to keep things feeling organic and inviting.
The finishing touches
Retro Replay isn’t just about big furniture; it’s the little touches too. From textured cushions in checkerboard and abstract prints to colourful plant pots, this trend proves that the details are everything.
Take our Velvet Stripe Lamp, for example, which is vintage-inspired but reimagined for now. It’s the kind of piece that adds instant character, casting a warm glow and a whole lot of personality.

FAQs
How do I style a retro-inspired room without it feeling too themed?
It's all about finding the right balance. Start with one or two statement pieces, like a curved velvet bed or a bold sideboard, and then layer in the fun accents, such as textured cushions or a checkerboard throw. Use a warm, earthy colour palette and mix in modern shapes to keep the look feeling fresh instead of frumpy.
What colours define the Retro Replay trend?
We’re loving a mix of burnt orange, mustard yellow, olive green, and blush pink, broken up by rich walnut wood furniture pieces. These tones bring warmth and depth to your space and work perfectly together.
Can I mix Retro Replay with other styles?
Of course! Even if you’ve got more of a Scandi, minimalist set up, retro accents can bring personality to a pared-back space or bring contrast to a classic modern interior. Just keep your colour palette consistent and play with textures to tie it all together.
Is retro furniture practical for modern homes?
Our Retro Replay pieces may look like they’ve stepped out of a design museum, but they’re made for real homes with comfy finishes, clever storage, and durable materials. The style may feel nostalgic, but everything is designed for modern living.
