The bungalow, furnished in the retro style of the seventies, charms with its nostalgic beauty

The owners of the property are 60-year-old Nigel and 58-year-old Melissa Peter, who inherited the house from Nigel’s late father. He built that house in 1973. Instead of renovating the two-bedroom property, the couple decided to turn it into a 1970s-style living experience where guests and tourists can stay overnight for a fee.

It is an interesting inspiration for those who, for example, inherit a home from their grandparents and decide to keep it in its original style. Years later, thanks to experiential tourism, he can make a decent living. However, the interior should well capture the time in which its owners lived and represent the interior style of that time in detail.

The owners of this unusually furnished property told the Lancashire Post that the interior was created and preserved in such a way that it would be possible to escape the negative influences of today’s times and be fully transported to the past.

The owners confided to The Mirror that their parents never threw anything away, so fine-tuning the interior was no problem for them. What they lacked in the interior, they bought at online bazaar markets or charity shops.

The space, furnished in the style of the seventies, is dominated by bright colors, geometric shapes, and plastic was starting to make its way from the materials. In the 1970s, designers began to create in the pop-art style, and many products were already mass-produced and part of consumer society. The design featured futuristic shapes and reflective surfaces referring to space exploration and industrial advances.

According to the DailyMail, the owners wanted the bungalow to forever remind them of the impressive atmosphere of the era in which they grew up. In the interior, they left what they could in the original style, including teak furniture, lava lamps, a television in a wooden cabinet and a bathroom in an atypical avocado color.

The bungalow is rented out to guests, who can even borrow some of the seventies-style dresses. A stay for two people for two nights will cost almost 12,000 crowns.

Retro design still has many fans today. A few years ago, for example, an exhibition called Retro 70s and 80s took place in Prague, which presented the best from the period of the former Czechoslovakia. For many designers, retro pieces are a valuable inspiration to this day.
