Differences between vintage and retro style lights

Question

Accepted Answer

Both “retro” and “vintage” are popular terms relating to lighting but, despite their common elements, they have significant differences that can be key when it comes to decorating your home. On the one hand, designs of vintage lighting systems are old, they originate from the era they evoke, which gives them an air of antiquity and classicism that will delight fans of conservative décor. Retro lighting designs, on the other hand, are based on current interpretations of old designs, which enables them to mix classic and modern materials in the same light, for example. They might also include modern details in a style which are several decades old.
