Decoration: Your home is ready for a 1970 Revival - The 1970s was an exciting time for the style and design ?. The austere 1950s had picked up on straight-lined modernism in 1930 and run with it; radical social changes of the 1960s threw the aesthetic familiar in the air and down to earth in a psychedelic explosion and when the midcentury slipped in the 1970s, a bold new era of design installed.
Thanks to a change in mortgage laws, more than ever, the British were able to buy their own homes, fueling a passion for DIY and customization. But while the first part of the decade was dominated by pop art, bright colors, emerging technologies and newly available plastic furniture, the second half was shaped by 1973 oil crisis, recession and high unemployment. So in came a return to nature and a more homespun philosophy, evident in the popularity of Victorian flowers and hand-me-down, wood, rattan and rustic cuisine, and crafts such as macramé.
While the era of design to plunder, there is a lot to draw on ... Indeed, many of us were comfortably flirt with 1970s touch for a while without even thinking style references: consider ubiquitous Tom Dixon - and gloriously retro - pendants copper globe; , Bold patterns clash; accessories gold old school - and a renewed love for houseplants, who were all in the soft-focus decade.
But we still have to go in the 1970's look wholeheartedly. While you might not be in place for a resumption of all-out brown walls, synthetic materials, patterns of the rainbow, from veneer fireplaces and orange on almost everything, there are many more details from the end of the tail of the midcentury era of love, as well as clever ways to give some of the less obvious ideas a new update (hello modern stone cladding, oh yes). These rooms inspire your inner child ... 1970

Making beautiful brown
This room takes some key appearance in 1970, but draws them together in a very contemporary style. The sofa beige leather - the focal point of this space - sums up retro enough, but while the clash print cushions reminiscent knock layers rugs, carpets and curtains of the time, the designs are fresh and colorful than swirling and Orange. It makes all the difference and avoids pastiche.
Similarly, the woodwork, as authentic, is a million miles away from the original, which probably would have been very varnished pine. The ceiling pendant, a Le Klint 172, designed at the time by Poul Christiansen, full flavor 1970

stone cladding Rediscover
No, really. Until recently, the owners desperate for the affection of their ancestors for the coating of interior and exterior walls with a decorative stone veneer. It can be a nightmare to remove and often was not enough, especially when it has covered more beautiful Victorian brick, for example.
But could the ultimate bogeyman DIYer be back in fashion? I think he could! This time, however, we will carefully dressed and leave the exterior of our houses well alone. This style of tunnel fire is fabulous with its slate smooth finish, and brings to mind Palm Springs midcentury at its peak (if you are tempted by 1970 architecture, look no images of Palm Springs modern tour - it is the most inspiring).

Add orange in moderation ...
this room clean, white and contemporary flavor was given a throwback mainly by this bold series of orange which is the fireplace and chimney.
The arc floor lamp style echoes the theme of the period, as does the sectional sofa - which would create an effect quite different predictable in brown corduroy. T his regime, however, is an exercise restraint - quite different from the original 1970 ...

I have already mentioned that 1970 classic triumvirate hitting rugs, carpets and curtains. And here's how you refer to this style maximalism without giving you a headache. The small space and mirrored ceiling rise of intensity, rather than bringing the claustrophobic living spirit of Del Boy, this all-over tiled in cool colors ventilated said Moroccan riad.

grays and blacks in this kitchen are now, and still adding orange and the arrangement of the retro wardrobe date back about 40 years. Orla Kiely retro print on the backsplash and the dishes are another nice touch, and picks up on the love of the era patterns inspired by nature.

the 1970s was not all about colors and garish kitschness like this sweetness reminiscent of chamber performances. There are many favorite color, then brown, and plush bed cover is the best thing a Carpet with long hair. Note the elegant pendant light and golden gleams throwback vintage style.

Go romantic
Love for patchwork, flowers and sweetness (not to mention a huge crush on Laura Ashley) defined a certain style late 1970s. Take the heavy Victoriana on the original version, and go for light and feminine instead, like vintage style queen Emily Chalmers did in this room inviting.

There are no kitsch or tacky of this elegant house in the Hamptons, yet the 1970 style could not be clearer. The plush carpet, wall-to-wall creates more than a glance at the time, as both geometric prints, artfully clashing with the work Rainbow remind above the sofa. The trick here is the predominance of blue, a shade clearly not appropriate period - it tones stupid tribute
