Iconic television show 'Mad Men' has given avid viewers the opportunity to revisit 1960's fashion and style, prompting a revival of retro chic this season.

From Goodwood's new Vintage festival, to the high street embracing of Sixties fashions, retro really is becoming en-vogue, offering people the opportunity to try something a little different. The look isn't constrained by clothing, with those looking to update their home being inspired by the classical design of the era that defined cool.

In a bid to channel creativity, House Beautiful have offered a series of tips to give your home a 1960's twist. Ideas include accessorizing your living space with vintage advertising posters, investing in a vintage-esque club chair, a feature reproduction clock, aluminium or wooden blinds for added privacy and a swanky desk lamp to give that office aura. By utilising such features, the magazine believes that your home can be Mad Men-esque, conjuring up images of political discussions and cocktail parties.

For those that want to retain a feeling of modernity, simple aspects of the Sixties can be adopted including utilising feature wallpaper in a retro print, bold curtains or even a vintage style rug. Combining signature pieces with modern technology and minimalist stylings can create a retro/post-modern fusion, making your home stand out from the crowd.
