The '70s are Back, Baby!
Bust out the bell bottoms and drop the needle on the record, because home décor trends are taking a U-turn to the '70s in 2019! While the boogie fever era included some trends we’re happy to leave in the past (ahem, shag carpet), there are plenty of styles you can combine with your current décor to get that old-school vibe with a modern twist.
Fun with Furniture
Round out any room with a curved chair or sofa. This swooping silhouette pairs well with tufted fabric and nailhead accents for a vintage flair. Take a walk on the wild side with a barrel chair in a bold jewel-tone velvet that makes a statement when paired with other neutral furnishings. Or, go subtle with the style by adding a gray or taupe curved Chesterfield love seat to your sitting area. Throw in a few pops of color with velvet accent pillows to complete this throwback look!

Light Up Your Life
Light Up Your Life
Another way to bring this far out trend to your crib is with retro lighting! Embrace fixtures that modernize the '70s aesthetic with exposed bulbs and the use of brushed bronze and gold instead of shiny brass. See your kitchen island or dining table in new light with a few frosted globe pendants. Enhance your nighttime reading routine with brushed bronze wall sconces, sans lampshades (they made sconces look dated). Up your chandelier game with a gold starburst-style fixture or keep it casual with modern-day swag lighting featuring multiple Edison bulbs draped from the ceiling at varying heights.
Keep it Fresh
A highlight of '70s home décor was the jungle-like atmosphere created with an abundance of palm fronds, wood paneling and floral wallpaper. While tropical-print wallpaper may not fit with your current interior stylings, you can still evoke the nostalgia of that houseplant heaven. Try transforming an empty corner with a fern or ivy in a macramé hanging planter (yes, macramé is back in style!). Brighten up a neutral living space with a floral throw blanket or palm leaf pillows. You can even take a fresh approach to wood paneling with a stained shiplap accent wall.
Whether you’re trying these trends for the first time or revisiting old friends from the past, there’s never been a better time to bring the '70s into your home. It may be 2019, but with these fun trends the past is stayin’ alive!
