The era of the 1970s is back, and historically speaking, we are on track. As we enter the fall season, it’s clear that the 1970s are getting a more organic and cozy update. This is evidenced by the abundance of retro-inspired furniture and the vibrant and earthy colors that make their way into homes. We’ve identified the most prominent trends that will make their way into the home decor of 2022.
Bright 70s Palettes
The 1970s brings back the era’s feel with a wide range of colors and textures. The colors and textures used in this trend include mustard yellow, hunter green, and bamboo.
The trend that’s been making its way through the interior design world in the past couple of years is the green-based design trend. The muted sage variation is an excellent color for any room.
Fringe
The revival of the fringes is one of the most prominent home decor trends of the 1970s. The trend started even before the outfits worn by Elvis Presley became famous. It was also a familiar presence during the 1970s.
Adding fringe accessories to your home in small increments can bring this look into your house. For instance, you can add this look to your rugs and carpets. You don’t have to go overboard with this addition. To achieve this look, keep it simple and maintain a minimal yet elegant look. You can also add fringe accessories to your home by combining them with functional pieces such as mirrors.
Decorative Plates
Another exciting home decor trend celebrities are currently in love with is the use of plate walls. This looks great in both formal and informal spaces. The possibilities are endless with the help of plates.
This season, we’re seeing a variety of styles featuring hand-painted plates mixed with more modern offerings. This combination of styles is very visually stimulating. Having vibrant and playful plates can help balance the elements of the home.
Checkerboard
In 2022, checkers are making a big appearance all across the country. This look is sophisticated and elegant, from sleek black and white floors to timeless accessories. For autumn, this trend is expected to take a more muted approach.
A simple yet vibrant pattern like a checkered can add a bit of fun to a room. However, this look requires a lot of vision and restraint. You should avoid feeling like you’re in the circus. If you’re planning on adding this look to your home, try incorporating it into various accessories, such as vases and ceramic mugs.
Dark Woods
Blonde wood has been a popular design trend for the last few years. It was closely associated with the rise of Nordic-inspired designs still in use today. This trend is expected to shift this year and feature darker wood tones and moody paint colors.
If you’re a fan of white lacquer furniture, you’ll notice that the wood finishes are replacing the traditional white cabinets and tables this season. The use of dark wood is also seen in various areas of the home.
