Certain design elements have an enduring appeal, going beyond fleeting trends and remaining forever stylish. 70s glamour, with its blend of comfort, personality, and vintage charm, is one such timeless trend.

This isn't about recreating a bygone era; it's about weaving those classic elements into the fabric of your modern home. It’s about warm colours, natural textures, and unique pieces that tell a story.

Geometric patterns

Geometric patterns have a timeless appeal, but they experienced a particular surge in popularity during the 1970s.

Their bold and graphic nature adds personality and visual interest to any room.

70s patterns continue to inspire, adding a retro-chic vibe to modern homes.

Consider incorporating them through a statement rug, eye-catching wallpaper, or our Poodle & Blonde Chain of Fools curtains and cushion covers.

Layering: The art of texture

Creating a truly inviting space involves layering different textures.

Antique chairs draped in throws and textured cushions help add depth and dimension to your décor.

Don't shy away from those iconic shag pile carpets either – they add a touch of 70s nostalgia and luxurious comfort underfoot.

Bold bathrooms

For decades, bathrooms have been dominated by white décor.

Embracing brighter colours, such as soft pastels, deep blues and dusky pinks, is a chic and unexpected way to add personality to your bathroom.

Play with bold hues to add fun to a simple space.
