Tip #1 Mix classics with vintage mod items. Make it feel like you’ve been collecting things consistently over the years. (Image above by Peter Medilek)

Tip #2 Insert bold splashes of color (in this case, orange), on a neutral canvas. Notice how the pencil cup, wastebasket, floor and table lamp really pop!

Tip #3 Give the more traditional Campaign Bed some zip with graphic pillows.

Tip #4 Add a few quirky retro items like the pastille chairs and Brillo box.

Tip #5 Have a good time with a theme without taking it too far. The Campaign Bed and military coat are a nod to the actual missile standing outside the room.
