Abstract

Retro is the style of nostalgia to create creative spaces that have an impact on retro and vintage styles in home design. The research problem is to achieve a fuller understanding of old design aesthetics in home interior design. Nowadays, most homes' designs are the same as contemporary designs, and they do not have a distinctive character. In addition, in recent times, many people have been affected by nostalgia in all aspects of life. Consequently, the environment in which we live and work should be influenced by the experience of nostalgia through the interior design of old styles that have a contemporary effect. The importance of research is to apply the concept of nostalgia to home spaces to achieve a contemporary, vibrant, and attractive atmosphere. The research aims to provide a fascinating insight into the shift from vintage style to retro style, which has shaped modern, creative interior design, enhancing the historical background of the retro style in addition to its impact on the future of home interior design. Finally, the study concluded that retro style is based on nostalgia, vintage, remembrance, memories, old and classic in interior design for home spaces. There is a great relationship between the retro style and the other styles that are based on nostalgia. Retro and vintage styles have an impact on creating elements, shapes, forms, and colors that are attractive, bold, and have a strong impact on spaces. The creation of nostalgia in home design, which leads to stimulating vitality, creativity, and innovation in interior design, makes the resident feel a different situation. Besides, the shift from vintage to the retro style created a more dynamic atmosphere that led to the association with the place while evoking the feelings of the residents in the nostalgic atmosphere
