Interior design reminiscent of the 1970s
Many items are reminiscent of 70’s style home decor interior design that you can use to make your home perfect.
Linoleum floors with decorative designs
One hallmark of 70's style home decor you will remember right when reminded is the pattern linoleum floor. The patterned linoleum floor was almost used in the 70's kitchen and bathroom flooring and was beloved by moms for its durability and easy cleanup. Thus, if you want to decorate your 70's home, add pattern linoleum floors in your mid-century kitchen or bathroom.

Wooden planks for partitions
In 1970s style home decor, people almost use wood paneling planks around every room in their house. So when decorating your home in 1970s style, you must use wood planks rather than the trendy beadboard, shiplap, or wall tiles. The 70s version of wood paneling planks was usually made from anything from real trees and hadn't a painfully obvious fake grain.
Knitting a crochet blanket
In the 1970s, our granny and mothers usually knitted everything from small items like scarves, coats, and sweaters to large items like blankets, pillowcases, etc.
Undoubtedly, each 1970s house always had at least one crochet blanket tossed over the sofa and bedroom.
These blankets were made with a "granny" square pattern that kept repeating and bright colors like yellow, red, and orange. They were often made of itchy wool, so throwing them over the back of the couch was better than using them as blankets on movie night.
The alarm clock
People used to wake up to alarm clocks with numbers that flipped before the world went digital. They were made to look like wood or came in popular 70s colors like gray and yellow. They also made a cool clicking sound. You can get a 1970s alarm clock from big online stores like Esty, eBay, etc., or from local antique shops.
Patterned wallpaper with bright colors
In the 1970s, wallpaper wasn't a way to show off your lifestyle. Instead, it was used to decorate the home and choose the style of the decor within a set of rules. At the time, abstract flowers or plants in neutral colors like ochre, beige, brown, and green, or matching shades with different levels of contrast and color gradients. Furthermore, strange geometric patterns were often used to make wallpaper. Maybe this was an attempt to add color to a dull life and make it more interesting.
So, if you didn't put wood paneling on your walls in the 1970s, you could use wallpaper with big, bold geometric shapes in bright, contrasting colors.
Connecting stairs
On the modern set of The Brady Bunch, the focus was on a staircase that seemed to float in the air. Even though Mr. Brady was an architect, those stairs looked pretty dangerous. Ideas for open stairs are a great way to let more light and color into your home. If you open up a hallway or remodel your stairs, you can change the layout, add more floor space, and let in a lot of natural light.
A bamboo and rattan chair
Rattan furniture is made from things like cane and willow. It has been around since ancient times, but in the 1970s, it was trendy. Like this, rattan chairs give off a laid-back, easygoing vibe that is trendy and not too far away.
The push-button phone of the 1970s came between the rotary phones of the past and the cell phones of today. The push-button phone from the 1970s will remind you of the good old days. It seemed easier to dial than the one that came before it.
Tassel night light
When it comes to adding a touch of glam, lighting has been given a fringe makeover. Fringe was also used on lampshades, where it spread out the light and helped make a calm atmosphere. The elegant silk table lamp below is made with metallics which is a good example of 70s-style home decor that will work for you and your home.
Radio - 70s style decorative item
Before the internet and satellite radio, there was only AM and FM radio, which people in the 1970s listened to on special devices. They were made with different features that set them apart from each other. People would put their 70s radios in a prominent place in their homes because they were nice-looking and made well. Some people put them on display to keep a memory alive, and many collectors start by buying the radio they had when they were young.
