Retro Summer Signs and Artwork
A really fun way to bring in the retro summer vibes is to switch out (or add to) your current artwork with some fun nostalgic signage.. The Endless Summer Movie Poster is always a crowd favorite. This Coppertone Girl Metal Sign is also so much fun and a great addition to a Summer space. We’re also totally crushing over this fun Mermaid Martini sign for your bar!
Vibing Retro Accessories
We love mixing some fun glassware into our usual repertoire to really get in the spirit! Coffee mugs with fun sayings like this Sippin on Sunshine Camp Mug or this Good Vibes Retro Camper mug. Pro tip on Camp Mugs – they compliment your morning beach walk just perfectly!
Retro Summer Accent Pillows
The simplest way to completely transform a room for any season is to utilize accent pillows (no new furniture purchases over here!). These bright pillows in particular made it incredibly easy to transform the Sea Loft into a retro Summer space with minimal effort on our part! The particular pillows we used are no longer in stock but they’re from one of our absolute favorite pillow places, Sew and Cloth. To accent your base pillows we’re currently all about the hook pillow trend. Take a look at this Sunset one and this Beach one and this LOVE one too to combine a little retro and a little beach! We’d recommend utilizing one hook pillow with a fun saying/artwork and compliment with other pillow options like we’ve done here.
Eye-Catching Throw Blanket
Again, Simple Simon over here… just add a throw blanket that compliments the colors in your accent pillows to bring the look together. We love using things we already have and this particular blanket is a souvenir from our Grandparent’s trip to Mexico in the 70’s. If you’re looking for an easy accent throw, we really like this waffle knit one, it’s light for Summer, but also cozy and comes in a large variety of colors!
And.. that’s a wrap! Now go get your groove on and bring those Retro Summer Vibes into your home today!
