The perfect mix of retro and modern
The combination of retro design with contemporary aesthetics has revolutionized the world of interior design. Whether you love nostalgic vintage images or prefer minimalist, modern art, at Artist Army you'll find the ideal wall decor that combines both worlds.
Why retro and contemporary harmonize so well
Retro style is characterized by timeless elegance and emotional warmth, while contemporary art impresses with clarity and innovation. Together, they create an atmosphere that reflects personality and style. Our canvases and posters combine retro colors and motifs with modern lines and shapes to make your living space unique.
Top trends in retro-contemporary wall decor
1. Retro posters with a contemporary flair
Retro-inspired art posters, such as vintage travel posters or mid-century designs, are complemented by clean, modern frames or typography. This combination turns your walls into a real eye-catcher. Popular designs:
- Vintage city posters (e.g. “Paris 1920”)
- Black and white retro photographs with color accents
2. Gallery walls: Old and new in dialogue
A gallery wall with a mix of nostalgic retro motifs and contemporary art creates a vibrant effect. Here's how to achieve the look:
- Combine black and white images with colorful modern prints.
- Use different frame sizes and materials, such as wood and metal.
3. Mid-century meets modern
A large canvas print in the style of the 1960s, such as abstract shapes or Bauhaus motifs , harmonizes perfectly with minimalist furniture. Our bestsellers at Artist Army combine these two design approaches.
How to combine retro and contemporary elements
Color scheme as key
Retro motifs often feature warm tones like mustard yellow, rust red, or ochre. Contemporary art complements these with neutral colors like white, black, or gray. Use this interplay to create a harmonious balance.
Spatial planning made easy
Consider the size and function of your room:
- Living room : Use large canvases as a central focal point.
- Office : Small, geometric prints create an inspiring atmosphere.
- Bedroom : Choose calming colors and soft shapes.
