Earthy, Retro Pieces Inspired by Little Miss Sunshine

There's nothing like a good road trip movie to get you in the spirit of sunny Summer days, so we've gathered design inspiration from Little Miss Sunshine to help you bask in that getaway feeling year-round. With cool vintage accents, retro-looking sets, and a muted color palette, the award-winning indie film features timeless design elements that channel decades past. Click through to kick-start your creativity.

The Little Miss Sunshine set features plenty of wood paneling, an earthy color palette, and a touch of midcentury modern design.
Channel the classic, retro vibe of the film's design elements with this timeless Hans Leather Chair ($2,040). Inspired by the tradition of Scandinavian woodworking, the piece is made with European beech wood.
Stick with natural wooden accents like these eco-friendly Acacia Wood Salad Plates ($4-$13).
At the center of all the action is the yellow and white Volkswagen van, which may as well be considered a main character.
Capture the "sunny" palette of the Little Miss Sunshine van with the Jonathan Adler Capri #2 Table Lamp ($271). The retro-meets-modern piece features a cool, contemporary teardrop shape and a wide drum shade.
This woven cotton Zigzag Rug ($44-$199) features a fun chevron pattern in the same bright, vintage-inspired shades.
As the group travels through New Mexico and Arizona, they move through a palette of muted desert shades — including a soft blue sky.
This classic Eames Molded Plastic Rocker ($549-$578) — made with recyclable polypropylene — captures the faint blue color of the sky and the retro vibe of the film's design.
Another desert-inspired piece? This ceramic Fair Trade Original Candle Holder ($32) looks like it could be found at a roadside pottery vendor.
Even when the eclectic group is out to lunch, there's an unmistakeable vintage vibe to their surroundings: wood panel walls, a two-toned leather booth, and a retro table.
If you love the look of brown leather and black accents, you can dip your toes into the trend with this Safavieh Henry Square Cocktail Ottoman ($450). The durable, padded leather piece could be used as either a footrest or a small seat.
Prefer just a touch of leather? Add this Arte & Cuoio Square Leather Tray ($165) to your existing decor and top it with special trinkets or glassware.
