Retro baby room: 9 decorating tips

Bright colors

As a rule, the baby’s room, regardless of style, is usually decorated with light and neutral colors. 

That’s because this color palette helps to calm and promote the child’s relaxation. 

However, that doesn’t mean just using white and beige. Pastel tones such as pink, blue, green and yellow, as well as light gray are great color options for a retro nursery.

Even these pastel colors mark the candy colors style, very popular in the 50s. In other words, a great way to combine the influence of colors with the retro style.

choose a theme

Even if the baby’s room is decorated in a retro style, parents can choose a theme to make the environment more playful and childish.

Several themes match the retro style, the important thing is to know how to use colors and elements that refer to the style. 

Dolls, strollers, travel, safari and animals are some of the themes that can be used in the retro baby room.

period furniture

Some types of furniture especially match the retro style. Among them we can highlight the models with stick feet and rounded corners. 

But you can still go further by looking for furniture in antique houses or thrift stores. 

These old furniture, known as vintage, can be restored and repainted with the colors that match the room, for example.

And what is the difference between retro and vintage? Retro refers to every element created from an aesthetic reference from past decades, that is, despite the old appearance, these objects are new. 


The vintage refers to furniture and other original decorative elements, manufactured between the 50s and 70s.

They are relics that have survived time, keep stories and give a lot of style to the decoration. 

handles

This tip is golden. You know those simple furniture, usually white, that are sold around in department stores? So, if you have one of them at home, you can renew the look by simply changing the knobs. 

You won’t believe how this detail makes all the difference. To do this, go to stores that sell woodworking and custom furniture. There are dozens of models of handles to choose from, almost always very cheap.

Then just choose the retro model that best matches your baby’s room.

This tip works for both wardrobes, dressers or bedside tables.

Wallpaper

Wallpaper is retro by nature. A success in the 70’s, this type of covering can be taken to the children’s room, bringing color and style to the environment.

In addition to classic prints, such as stripes, florals and chess, you can still bet on wallpapers that match the decor theme.

This is even a practical, quick and economical way to change the look of an environment without major renovations. 

curtain and rugs

Curtains and rugs are essential in any room, but even more important in a retro nursery.

That’s because both curtains and rugs bring comfort to the room. 

The curtains regulate the entry of light and help block out external noise, while the rug makes the room cozier, especially in the winter months. 

However, avoid fabrics and materials that accumulate a lot of dust so as not to harm the baby’s health. In this case, light fabrics for the curtain and hypoallergenic rugs are the best option.

retro elements

Retro or vintage elements (if you’re lucky) can and should compose the baby’s room decor.

Antique toys such as rag dolls and wooden carts are among the favorites. 

But, depending on the theme, it is still possible to explore other objects, such as a typewriter, camera and suitcases.

Another element that is often used in retro baby rooms is the canopy. Also known as a mosquito net, this item protects the crib from mosquitoes and adds a very special charm to the room.

Lighting

Lighting is also another item that requires attention from parents regardless of the theme and style of decoration.

That’s because lighting helps bring comfort, but it also helps (and a lot) night visits to the baby.

With a lamp or lamp, parents eliminate the need to turn on the main light and disrupt the child’s sleep. 

Therefore, do not dispense a support light near the crib. But beware: don’t use white lights. The most suitable are yellow lights that are more cozy or even blue light that favor sleep.

safety and comfort

We already talked about comfort when we mentioned the use of rugs and curtains. But it doesn’t end there.

Comfort also has to do with bedding, a good mattress and elements that bring a feeling of comfort, such as ottomans and pillows scattered on the floor.

These elements are even more important when the child is already crawling or walking, so he can play on the floor more comfortably. 

Security is also critical. Protect sockets with protectors to avoid electric shocks, as it is also important to use protectors in the corners of sharp furniture. 

Electrical wires must be hidden and out of reach of children. Also pay attention to the crib.

The crib must meet the quality criteria approved by Inmetro, such as the distance between the bars, so that the child does not get his head or limbs trapped.
