Why Retro 70s works for your studio apartment
A studio apartment is primarily about everything — living, sleeping, cooking, and working in one space. Retro 70s brings burnt orange & avocado green to this space, creating an environment that feels clever, cohesive, and uncluttered. The style's emphasis on shag rugs & sunken lounges pairs naturally with the studio apartment's need for zone-specific lighting. When it comes to durability, Retro 70s works here because studio apartment surfaces need high — every piece works harder in a studio and sees more use resistance, and the style's material palette accommodates that.
