1970s design is trending—Take a look

What goes around comes around! At least, that's what trends seem to do. In the world of interior design, we have seen the renaissance of mid-century modern, art deco, space age, and now we're witnessing how, slowly but surely, people are picking up on postmodernist 1970s. 

The 1970s not only gave us flared trousers and Fleetwood Mac, but also some fab decor inspiration. With its vibrant colours, bright patterns and rich textures, we're falling head over heels for postmodernism and taking a page out of history's grooviest period.


Here are some ways you can introduce the 1970s aesthetic into your home:
