It’s the year 2022 but this year has really been nostalgic and we feel a little bit dreamy on the inside for having things in vintage styles.
The ’70s were a time of excess, both in spirit and in the case of interior design, a muddy brown orange hue that will hopefully lay at rest with its own epoch. 1970s interior design trends are making a definitive comeback.
Earth tones and fun multi-color concepts are current trends now, as well as low slung soft furniture.
THE 1970s INTERIOR
The design elements and motifs that top interior designers today are borrowing from the ’70s tend to fall within a specific set of parameters. We see people being open to designs with textured fabrics, geometric shapes, and patterns, upholstered seating, and a lot more. But this doesn’t stop in the house—workplaces also evolve as some companies tried to level up their game with some themes that will give you THAT particular vibe, or what ever it is that you’re looking for.
WHAT MAKES THE INTERIOR A LITTLE BIT IN THE 70s?
Fit check. 2022 is the 1970s comeback and we’re not complaining.
We see a bold front door
The easiest way to introduce a new décor style to your home is to start small. If you want to add a ’70s flair to your space, consider starting with the front door. A punchy color like orange or red is a great choice to spruce up your exterior and give it a healthy dose of color.
A groovy couch
Have you tried visiting the nearest surplus?
Some easy ways to introduce the look into your home? Pattern play and maximalist was everything in the ’70s. Go for it—pick the bold couch or the spunky chairs and make a splash.
Mix and Match
If you want to achieve a maximalist look, try it by mixing wallpaper and fun floors. As long as you find coordinating colors, try mixing bold patterns to achieve an eclectic look at home.
Rich Colors
If you’ve never experimented with orange or yellow, now is your chance. There are endless colors that go with orange, but sometimes the most eye-catching look pairs opposite colors to create a lot of visual interest.
The Macramé Style
The crafty hand-knotted look is back and it’s a great way to fill the space behind a bed, couch, or on the back of a door. If you’re crafty you can learn to macramé yourself, or you can them at marketplaces or directly to the ones who make them.
Psychedelic Designs
On the other hand, if you want to really channel the ’70s, don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Opt for more psychedelic designs with a variety of colors and shapes to create a lot of interest. To avoid a bold pattern taking over a space, stick with a smaller accent wall to start.
CONCLUSION
There’s something incredibly charming and uplifting about ’70s-era décor styles. With the rise of maximalist and eclectic style, there are so many looks from the hippie age that we can’t get enough of today.
