Pay homage to the past without being too literal.  Create a retro beach vibe by mixing vintage and modern designs.  Tie the look together with complementary finishes and fabrics.  For a fresh take, consider an all white backdrop with pops of color and tons of natural woods.  Mid-century modern pieces mixed in with tropical ones will give the space a more updated look.  Create your own retro beach vibe with these mix and match styles.
