Andrew Henry, Director of Andrew Henry Interiors, said that from the reunion of Abba to the Holly Hobbie blouse dress on the runway, the 70s is the first decade of this fall because it incorporates nostalgia and reminds us of positive influence and happiness the design of.

However, without turning your home into an Austin Powers movie scene, there is a trick to incorporate the right touchstone into it, warns Beth Lewin, the design studio manager of Portfolio Home and the Northwest Region Director of the British Interior Design Association : "Mix in items with your own style and other trends, such as bohemian, to give it a modern feel. Don't overuse the typical bold 70s colors, psychologically speaking, this will produce too much excitement. The soft tones and warm earthy tones such as mustard yellow and burnt orange will give you a fresh, modern 70s look, creating a calm and warm atmosphere.

Here are five trends in the 1970s that we like-five of which should be kept firmly in the past:

The pattern is very 70s. Wallpaper with graphics or repetitive prints brings this element into the home, such as Graham & Brown’s Bohemian Dream, a soft geometric pattern that fades from orange to cyan and gray outlines against a neutral background. Warm colors.

"I do like graphic wallpapers, but you should always try to use wallpapers that won't give you headaches in the morning," said Emma Deterding, founder and creative director of Kelling Designs. 'Repetition should be either small enough to be vague or big enough to make sense. Make sure that the proportions of the pattern are suitable for your room.

Rachael Fell, Habitat Furniture Purchasing Manager, said: "Different from the fashionable minimalism of previous years, customers have chosen nostalgic retro-style items that bring casual comfort and advocating natural materials." "In recent months. There has been a huge revival of designs inspired by the 1970s, and rattan and bamboo materials are favored for their ability to balance fashionable lines with a rustic, hand-made appearance."

Habitat's Astri king-size rattan headboard is perfect for Fleetwood Mac. Also check out Dunlem's Indi rattan and mango wood furniture series, especially sideboards, and storage solutions including neat French rattan bathroom baskets.

Furniture And Choice's interior style consultant Rebecca Snowden (Rebecca Snowden) said that comfortable and luxurious corduroy was a nostalgic trend in the 1970s and the first choice for sofas and cushions: "This material has a dual role, not only Provides comfort and a stylish touch with its unique texture.'There is an L-shaped corner sofa in Cassie Cord fabric, available in mink, charcoal or gray.

A quick way to introduce corduroy is to add one or two cushions-such as the cyan York high and low corduroy cushions from the Yorkshire Fabrics Store. Or add a real retro 70s style, a corduroy retro classic bean bag, using a series of fashionable giant rope colors, including mustard and purple (deep purple of course).

The appearance of hand-made active glaze tableware usually combines two or three complementary tones to highlight the patterns of individual swirls and spots. Nadia McCowan Hill, Wayfair’s resident style consultant, said: “As we look for more relaxed finishes on perfectly polished ceramics, reactive glaze tableware has an easy finish to meet the growing demand for organic tableware.”

Gorgeous glassware, such as vases and bowls with rich jewel colors or vivid monochromatic colors, is a simple way to create the chic of the 70s. Ideally, you are looking for a shape that combines angular lines with gorgeous bulbous curves, such as the Bloomingville glass vase from Nordic Nest.

Jon Sharpe, chief creative officer of designer home accessories company LuxDeco.com, said that the trend of glassware is heating up on the catwalk and our new love of nature: "We have seen natural plants such as indoor plants in the 1970s. The outstanding performance of rattan and lace has increased for a period of time, and other 70s trends such as patterns, tassels and even curved shapes-all of which have seen significant sales growth with us.

Annoying (plus tried alternatives)

Nothing evokes the scream of the "70s" more than a nylon tufted shaggy carpet-or worse, a shaggy carpet from wall to wall. If you are lucky enough to have a pine wood floor-a very 70s look-forget the artificial fabrics and add warmth and color, choose striped recycled cotton chindi rugs from Homescapes.

Despite the brief revival of this classic 70s sanitary ware a few years ago, the avocado belongs to toast, not the bathroom. On the contrary, AGVA Bathrooms points to the two trends of this season, earthy orange and dark oak/light oat brown, in order to carry out a more subtle reinterpretation of the 70s.

Offset the earthy orange tones with slightly off-white, and complement them with brighter relative tones, such as gold: "This combination of earthy, bright and unexpected tones can be used in a variety of colors, especially in the warmer orange-red spectrum. Color," said Fay Patel, senior buyer at AGVA.

Fay said that dark oak and light oat brown give people a natural feel, while creating a more melancholic and darker style, reminiscent of retro country life. Fay said: “Warm lighting options and brass installations will Add a touch of vitality."

What are they thinking? Nylon sheets may reduce ironing piles, but there is no reason to make static and hot nights sticky. Pure white bed linen and wicker match, timeless classic 70s look. "White is powerful and modern again," said Joanna Ross, Sheridan's general manager of design. "Where there is no color, the texture and touch are enhanced. Furniture and ceramics present a more "humanized" tone through soft curves and textured finishes, so the bedding layer will naturally follow suit.

Crazy mixtures are all the rage-think of Tim Rice's musical Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat and dear old Keith Chegwin and his Multi-Colored Swap Shop-but we are now softer, home decor brand Dowsing & Reynolds Interior designer Xander Shreenan said: “Orange and pink were very popular in the 70s, but you can try to modernize a little bit by choosing brick orange and pink. They still give people a 70s feel, but there are A cleaner and more modern color story.

Shells or swirls, broken leather or stipples, regardless of the texture of Artex ceilings and walls, it should remain stable for the decade of Spangles and Space Hoppers. We would rather use dark green to hide slightly uneven walls, such as COAT Paint's Ditch The Tie or Adulting. "With walnut or teak wood furniture and brass accessories, it creates a cool 70s gentlemen's club atmosphere," said Rob Abrahams, co-founder of COAT Paint.
