‘70s Home Decor is Trending – Here’s How to Get the Look

Bring Back the ‘70s with these Retro and Chic Home Decor Items

The 1970s celebrated self-expression, individuality, and experimentation. Inspired by a decade defined by being bold and free, these ‘70s home decor items are the perfect fit for a totally groovy interior.

“The ‘70s color palette is all about earthy tones, including avocado green, mustard yellow, burnt orange, and brown. These warm, rich colors can create a cozy interior environment. In contrast, bold and vibrant patterns were also popular in ‘70s home design – like geometric prints, paisley, floral motifs, and large-scale abstract designs. Perfect for making a statement with wallpaper!”- Jennifer Matthews, Chief Creative Officer at Tempaper & Co.

It's easy to achieve a 1970s home with bright colors, geometric prints, and retro floral designs.

Explore everything from peel and stick wallpaper, wall decals, and vinyl rugs that you can mix-and-match to help complete your ‘70s-inspired room.

Jennifer continues to add “Don’t be afraid to get in touch with your inner ‘groovy’ side when selecting patterns and color. You can add geometric prints, paisley, floral motifs, and large-scale abstract wallpaper in any room to capture the essence of the '70s style.”
