That '70s Feeling: Here's What's Trending Now
Thanks to Daisy Jones and the Six, ‘70s interiors are having a moment right now. Here is how to get the look in your home
By: Charlotte OlbyWhile Cottagecore boomed in the era of lockdown, thanks to trending series Daisy Jones and the Six, the next big thing in home decor trends sees a revival of nostalgic ‘70s design come to the fore. And while at first it might seem like an unwelcome blast from the past, a resurgence of this distinctive style bares all the hallmarks of a relaxed home that has an immediate comforting effect - something free-spirited, more eclectic and without doubt, optimistic. We’re talking curved edges (see: instagram’s favourite bubble sofas), soft geometric shapes and a special commitment to earthy, warm tones of brown, terracotta and avocado paired with bold patterns. If you’re wanting to dip your toe into the world of seventies decor, try a gentle approach, choosing key pieces to style as part of your wider home aesthetic with Liberty’s edit of the best groovy baby buys.

Shop NowQuail Tiger Salt and Pepper Shakers, £32

Now we couldn’t mention the ‘70s without a nod to fringe and shag. Fringe came and went in favour of clean edges and streamlined designs, but it's seeing quite the comeback in the form of opulent homewares that add a touch of drama to otherwise lacklustre spaces.
Shop NowThe Tartan Blanket Co. Olive Herringbone Recycled Wool Picnic Blanket, £110
If you don't want to commit to a fully retro palette, consider a few well-placed cosy pieces like an olive throw to add a sense of warmth to your sofascape. Pile up with velvet throw pillows in tonal shades for ultimate comfort.

Introducing a new interior trend into your home needn’t stop at the living room or kitchen. Take the style through to the bedroom with a Cabana x Liberty paisley quilt.

Shop NowHenry Holland Studio Green White and Blue Large Platter £95
In order to avoid living in an Austin Powers film set, ensure you are nailing the colour scheme with some more contemporary pieces that still speak to the aesthetic. By adding a slice of Henry Holland Studio’s serveware you can ensure your tablescape will stick to the right side of retro.
Shop NowCabana Natural 35cm Wicker Placemat, £55
Wicker isn’t just for the scandi minimalists among us. While it actually dates back to antiquity, the trend for natural rattan was incredibly popular in the 1970s - and has been a big hit in 2022. Take the look forward into 2023 by styling with rich table linens.
Shop NowLiberty Interior Fabrics Felix Raison Cotton Velvet in Dragonfly, £140
If you want to really channel the ‘70s, don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and opt for psychedelic designs with a variety of colour and shapes. Paisley is of course a hallmark of the era, but to avoid a bold pattern taking over, try to confine it to just accent pieces like curtains or a quilt.
Shop NowCabana Rinascimento Vase Small, £260
One of the best ways to channel a former decade in your home décor is by displaying knick-knacks and treasures direct from the decade. If a dig through mum’s attic isn’t coming up trumps, try this earthy Cabana vase to style the perfect shelf.
