Decorating a home is often a difficult task, there are several styles to choose from not to mention color schemes, but RetroModern.com has made the task of finding retro furniture easy. The website, RetroModern.com, has several categories including barware, bathroom, furniture, kitchen, lighting, office, and outdoor. While the prices may be a little steep, the designs are unique and have a fun twist on what we think of as retro. Here is a list of five retro pieces from the RetroModern.com inventory to provide a sneak peak into what they have to offer.

The Graves Bird Kettle
This cute little kettle was designed in 1985; it quickly became popular and therefore, is still being produced. The stainless steel kettle has a clean sleek design and features a red bird that whistles when the water boils. The blue handle and black knob on the lid gives the kettle some major personality, which makes this piece stand out. Price: $159

The Starck Mr. Impossible Chair
These chairs have clear frames with rounded seats that sit on top of them. The seats kind of look like contact lenses and they come in transparent and matte colors. The transparent colors look the most interesting because they have the appearance of the "shell" floating atop the frame. Price: $490

The Merdolino Toilet Brush
This toilet brush has a fun design that hardly even resembles a traditional toilet brush. In fact, the brush looks more like a cartoon-like sprout coming out of a pot. The "pots" come in colors like blue, orange, and terra cotta, while the "sprouts" remain green. Price: $45

The Dolmen Floor Lamp
This super chic and modern lamp is a tall, flat aluminium rectangle that leans against the wall. The front of the lamp has four opaque circles that let the light shine through, while the light also reflects off the wall from behind. Price: $3032

The Panton Amoebe Lounge Chair
Designed in 1970, this chair has no legs; it sits on the ground in the shape of a "squiggle". The back is somewhat curved in while the bottom curves up and under so that the knees of whoever is sitting in the chair are slightly bent. The chair is covered in fabric that comes in fun colors like magenta, orange, violet, or yellow. This chair would look great around a low coffee table or simply as an accent piece. Price: $1560
