| The 1950s saw the introduction of Barbie dolls and the opening of Disneyland. Girls wore ponytails and poodle skirts. And families flocked to drive-in restaurants, the most popular dining trend. The 1950s bring back happy memories of simpler times, so it’s no wonder that the 50s style has become one of the hottest trends in home decorating. The best way to reflect this popular era in your own home is to add a few simple elements of a 1950s design. Choose Scandinavian furniture with light-colored woods and clean lines and space age, organic shapes—like a boomerang-shaped coffee table. Chrome and vinyl chairs paired with chrome-legged tables with Formica tops are both stylish and durable. Laminated plywood furniture with very clean lines, bent into comfortable curved furniture (known now as “Eames” style, because of the remarkable influence of designer Charles Eames with his revolutionary designs) is also a classical retro look. You can easily find retro furniture at tag sales and estate sales. The simplest way to complete an authentic retro 1950s design is with a vintage drive-thru sign. A reproduction 1950s style drive-thru sign adds nostalgia and real retro 1950s style to any living room, patio, or game room.
