If there's one thing that can't be missing in a '70s home, it's wall colors. Don't be afraid to exaggerate, go for bright colors and warm tones and play with the contrasts between one wall and another.

Bring the 70s into your living area with furnishings designed down to the last detail. Start with a beautiful glass-topped dining table surrounded by minimalist, padded steel chairs, then continue with velvet sofas paired with beanbag chairs, a comfortable coffee table that doubles as the dining table, and modular bookcases on the walls to hold books and vinyl records.
3. The bedroom for vintage dreams
The '70s design in bedroom furnishings means above all colorful blankets and pillows, a large rug or carpeted floor for walking barefoot, and clean lines for the furniture. Therefore, square bedside tables and simple armchairs for storing clothes are a good idea. Finally, on the walls, a large mirror and colorful prints are a must.
4. A lively and welcoming kitchen
In the kitchen, it is above all the colors that create the right atmosphere. Choose a pastel shade for the cabinets and shelves and then break the monotony with accessories and small appliances such as a blender and toaster in bright hues that contrast with the rest of the furniture. If you have enough space, a central island with high stools is a must, or alternatively, a counter on which to serve breakfast.
5. Marble Floors from the 1970s: How to Decorate with Personality
The floors of homes from fifty years ago were a triumph of imagination with colorful tiles, marble mosaics, rugs, and carpets. In particular, marble is a great protagonist in the living room and bedrooms, but also in the kitchen. But don't just imagine simple white marble: the retro aesthetic leaves freedom for different shades and combinations. A great classic is graniglia, known as "grandma's floor", a mix of fragments of marble, quartz, granite, and other stones of various shapes, sizes, and colors.

The '70s furniture design doesn't neglect small elements like appliances and ornaments. An old record player, a tube radio, or a vintage television will instantly transport you to the past in style. If you have a kitchen that overlooks the living area, you might consider designing the entire room around one of those gorgeous colorful vintage refrigerators.

The geometric style is a real must for '70s furniture. Make way for lines, triangles, and symmetries on cushions, curtains, and blankets, but also on doors, cabinets, and other furniture finishes.
8. Special lighting points to create atmosphere
Lighting is essential to transport your home back in time. The design of lamps and chandeliers is inspired by objects such as skittles and flying saucers, with bright colors and soft, curved lines, or, conversely, by minimal shapes, with long steel stems for floor lamps and essential lines for ceiling lights.
9. Many different materials to be balanced together
Modern '70s furniture uses many different materials, experimenting with innovative raw materials in combination with more classic ones. Plastic and vinyl are highly popular for chairs, armchairs, lamps, and various accessories, along with wood, glass, and steel.
10. Don't be afraid to overdo the contrasts
70s decor is all about the contrast between opposite extremes: minimalism and opulence, curved and straight lines, essential elements and exaggerated details. The secret is to find the right harmony between these polar opposites. Don't be afraid to experiment too much: use colors and shapes to break the monotony whenever you feel the need. In a living room dominated by linear furniture, for example, a colorful pouf adds light and originality.
