Hye, i love retro and polka dots and stripes too and im thinking of making my room like that. I think a good idea would be to have comfy bean bags, polka-dot duvets, lava lamps and bright colours.
Hope i helped,

Hello Sweetheart!
As an artist, I have been commissioned (once or twice) to do home design. My style is the late 1960's futuristic style. So if that is what you want, I am your lady.
Furniture- I don't know if you get to have new sofas, chairs or tables in your room, but if you do, this site has wonderful (new, but accurate) reto furniture. The furnature is much cheaper on this site than anywhere else. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Paint/colours- In that time, yes I was in my prime years in the late 60's, bright colours were everywhere. Some colours that were very popular are: atomic red, lime green, yellow, orange, olive green, and chocolate brown. (most of these colours in the futuristic movement would be paired with white.) the website abovde has a fabric button that shows some pretty accurate fabric colours.
Curtians- curtians were floor to celing, and what I think of is white curtians with a bold pattern. The pattern could be blue, orange, red...
Lighting- a 60's type light ficture that you could make yourself is a plastic cup light. I made one for my appartment when I lived in Paris, and couldn't buy one. You get plastic cups (clear) and you glue them together. Yoy can now use hot glue to keep them together. You glue the side of one cup to another. Then, chose one of the two and glue more around it, like the chosen cup is the centre of a flower. The cups are slanted, and if you keep adding on to the original "flower" you will eventually get a globe. Leave enough room for a lightbulb to get through to the middle of the globe. This is a picture of the same project done a bit differently. [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Have fun! You can ask me if you need more help.
