Three Beautiful Retro Classroom Decor Themes

Three retro classroom decor themes, each unique in color palette with beautiful details like disco balls, roller skates and bold florals.

Retro decor has been SO trendy in classroom decor for the last year, so SGS has worked so hard to create three beautiful retro classroom decor themes! Whether you are looking for more muted tones or bold patterns, with these three lovelies you will find a classroom decor theme that makes your heart go pitter-patter!

Shake Your Groove Thing

Shake Your Groove Thing classroom decor theme is vintage and groovy perfection in a polaroid picture. It’s like a record player humming on a rainy afternoon, and wearing bellbottoms for life.

The neutral, muted tones are so soothing and calming, and paint a cascade of Abbey Road vibes. The checkered pattern, charmingly named “sweater weather” and the dainty and fun florals are staples throughout.

And in true Schoolgirl Style fashion – it’s all in the details – the elements of roller skates and macramé fringe rainbows, elevate this collection to the unique vintage beauty that it is.

The Inspiration

I started with the neutral checkerboard as the inspiration for this collection.  I then chose soft, muted hues that are trending this season to coordinate with the camel color that we planned to use throughout.

Mushrooms were a MUST, then went full-out with all the retro goodness we adore at SGS.  Pairing that with the  soft sage, calming blue, and hints of pink made for a dream come true for our neutral-loving teachers.

The Inspiration

I really wanted to create the most gorgeous 70’s floral out there.  My inspiration was my childhood bedroom.  We also studied the Brady Bunch – using Marcia, Jan and Cindy’s bedroom as the starting point of the collection.

 And with Dancing Queen being my favorite song and sweet reminders of me dancing in my living room as a little girl, I knew the disco ball had to be the shining centerpiece of the collection.

Retro vibes for life!

XOXO,
