The comeback of 1970s design elements such as rattan furniture, bold wallpapers, and curved seating, are making their way back into homes around the country. These classic designs can be part of a contemporary home and give your house a special look that gives it the right style and features that make your home right for you.
Here are some great ways to incorporate 1970s décor trends into modern interior designs.
Green Velvet and Rubberwood
Olive green, or avocado green, was one of the many colors of the 1970s, and this color can be found on furniture that you might want to add to your home to give it the color palette and style that makes you smile. A couple of rubberwood armchairs upholstered in green velvet can add that 1970s vibe that you want to show off. These chairs don’t have to be the focal points in any room but can be statement items that look great and give you the flair you’re looking for.
Juliette Stool
The right addition to your chairs is something for people to put their feet on. A Juliette stool is a great choice, especially if it’s upholstered in muted pistachio green fabric. This color and style is one of the 1970s décor trends that you’ll be happy to bring back into style. You don’t have to put this stool with chairs that are from the same era in fact, if the greens are different, you might not want to. Still, one or two of these stools can be excellent additions to your home.
Rattan Dining Chairs
Rattan furniture was all the rage in the 1970s, and one of the best ways to have the groovy vibe from this decade in your home is to include rattan chairs around your dining room table. You can add more of this material to your dining area with storage baskets and a chest of drawers to complete the look. Rattan furniture gives your home the old-school feeling you want with a muted color that’s easy to decorate with and around.
Earthy Colored Couches
You might think of 1970s décor trends with orange and green, and both colors were used, but most of the oranges from the terracotta look to be burnt oranges that could be offset by earthy browns. You can enjoy the look of the decade in your home with a velour couch with simple wooden legs that allow the couch to appear as if it were levitating above the ground. A couch with real style gives you a decade-appropriate appearance that can be great when you want to enjoy something comfortable and easy to enjoy.
Retro Clock
An analog clock with simple movements and the color of the 1970s can be the perfect addition to your bedroom space. This small clock, colored in the appropriate green, can add a look that you won’t find in most modern homes. You don’t have to redo your entire home in period pieces but can enjoy the look and feeling of the era with something as simple as an alarm clock that sits on your night stand to wake you up in the morning.
Bubble Glass Candlestick Holder
A handcrafted blown glass candlestick holder in the right colors can give off the vibe you want. Lava lamps were part of the 1970s décor trends, as were vibrant colors, such as pink, blue, turquoise, and gold. You could mix and match a few colors of these bubble glass candlestick holders to have the look you want. These items are a welcome addition and give your home the added vibe you want.
