How to Add 70s Style to Your Home | Key Elements of 1970s Interior Design

In today’s video we’re discussing the 1970s revival that is currently trending in both interior design and fashion. It’s no wonder this soothing autumnal palette and bold sculptural shapes and prints are taking center stage in fall 2021. I’ll walk you through the history and origins of the seventies aesthetic in interior design, key elements of the style, and ideas on how to integrate that seventies style into your home this fall.

Today I’m partnering with my friend and capsule wardrobe expert Lauren McKinney to show you how trends can dominate across both interior design and fashion. Today she uploaded a companion video with inspo and outfit ideas on how to give you wardrobe a seventies spin this fall.

    This video was unexpected as far as the subject–I hadn’t even thought recently about 70s design outside of the ever-present wicker furniture. But it was so interesting and I learned a lot. Thanks as always!

    Wow, I grew up in the 70s and am glad that it is over. But I really miss the beautiful bedding from that era.

    I guess it’s not my style used worn sofas yuck

    This was a great video! Thank you for sharing. I’d love to see a video on British Interiors. I’d be interested to see your take on designers like Rita Konig and Matilda Goad. <3

    I was born in 1960 and absolutely love the midcentury modern look from that time period. The 70’s added the extra punch of colors which I still absolutely love but wouldn’t go over the top. We remodeled our kitchen in the 70’s and we had plaid vinyl wallpaper white/orange/avocado green. I would love to find that and also the orange pendant lights we had over our breakfast bar.

    I love this video!

    Happy Sunday! I have always loved seventies influenced interior designs, and this latest 2021 revival has me and my fashion friend Lauren McKinney dreaming up ways to integrate it into our homes and wardrobes. What element of 70s style is your favorite?

    Make sure to jump on over to Lauren’s collab video on 70s fashion for fall at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFN3IcBG7GA 💛

    This is a great topic. So much hate has been directed towards the 70s aesthetic and style for so long that the 70s are almost synonymous is many peoples minds with the apex of bad taste. I think what many forget is that the majority of people don’t live in a well designed home. The bits and pieces that they grab onto when they think of the 70s are likely influenced by their memories of a traditionally influenced hodge podge of decor in the 70s. I grew up in a house that was built in 1976. We had the w2w gold shag, my mom put a floral orange and yellow wallpaper in the kitchen, there was Ethan Allen furniture etc. and those things were not cute. She still lives in the house and I would love to be able to do a complete makeover working with the elements of the 70s that would bring out the beauty of the house. I feel that with a deeper dive into the beautifully designed spaces of the 70s people would develop a better appreciation. Estelle of 70s House Manchester is awesome btw! Great video thank you!

    this is perfect i love the 70s aesthetic 🙂

    Oh my gosh, Lindsay, the last thing that those of us alive in the 1970s want is to return our home’s decor to the 1970s 😂 But with that said, I can see why Millenials, Gen X, etc. might find the 70’s style interesting.

  11. VereV V on March 16, 2022 at 6:17 pm

    👏👏💕💕🌼

    Fall is my favorite season therefore, in my house, brown, orange, green, cream and black reign.

  14. Tina Dendy on March 16, 2022 at 6:21 pm

    Thank you for this video, Lindsay. I have been in love with the 70s aesthetic for a while. I have 1970s Mastercraft dining chairs and a few key vintage 70s decor pieces that have it through made it through two moves. I am enjoying your videos and especially appreciate the history lessons as well as the suggestions on how to incorporate specific looks today. Keep up the amazing work.

    LOOOOOOOOOOVE!!!!!

    Back then, people didn’t seem to be afraid of colours like avocado green, orange, brown, mustard, and harvest gold. Not were they afraid of patterns. The louder the better. Some of that spirit of exploration and experimentation would be useful today. I’m so sick of grey and refined!
