Seventies furniture is making a big comeback, influencing many modern styles. Is this trend really something you should invest in, or will it fade into irrelevance? It’s hard to make that call because trends come and go all of the time. However, if ‘70s furniture trend inspires you, these are pieces that can stand the test of time and add a unique look to your home.
Wicker furniture played a big role in ‘70s decor, so it’s no surprise that this piece of the past is making another debut in furniture showrooms. In fact, natural materials of all sorts were big in the 1970s, including jute, macramé and cork. There are plenty of ways to incorporate this style, from placing wicker baskets around your home as accent pieces to investing in wicker armchairs suitable for indoor or outdoor use.
Indoor plants have become a big décor trend (fresh and faux) because it’s an easy way to brighten up a space. A hanging plant is a great way to combine the past and the present because you’ll often find the hanging plant holders made of macramé. Make a statement (and free up counter space) with a colorful hanging plant from the ceiling or windowsill.
It’s soft, luxurious, and can add texture to a one-dimensional and sterile space. Plus, velvet comes in a variety of colors, meaning you can customize the furniture piece to your existing color palette. For example, this gray velvet armchair is a great addition to a living room or office because the color is neutral. For even more fun, add a velvet puff or ottoman to your space – the grandkids will love it.
Unfortunately, there are trends that can stay in the 1970s…like the iconic neon orange sofa. It may be tempting to paint retro (like the browns, greens and oranges), but it can make your space look darker and unwelcoming. Most modern design includes a clean, neutral palette to open up your space and it actually creates an inviting atmosphere. If you want to take advantage of retro colors, showcase it through accessories like throw pillows or blankets. This allows you to easily swap it out if you get tired of the trend.
