From the colour palettes to the materials and patterns, the 70s interiors decided to be a remarkable trend for this year.
With its exquisite attractive colourful look and patterns, the 70s style can relate to last years’ trends of maximalism. It also enriches the interior design possibilities and choices.
These retro types of interiors have been known for their special palettes, since the 70s are the years when colour movies became the norm, with colours being an important storytelling tool.
That’s what makes this style relatable to mood creation and romanticisation of the space since most people want to create the look they have seen in a specific old movie.
Here we will present some touches that will be the peps of your 70s-inspired interior!
