But fear not, avocado-green enthusiasts and macrame macabre artists, incorporating this groovy trend doesn't have to involve time capsules or head-to-toe paisley. Let's take a peek at some far-out tips for infusing your home with the best of the 70s, without sacrificing modern sensibility.
Color
The 70s were all about bold, unexpected color palettes. Think burnt oranges, mustard yellows, teals that would make Poseidon jealous, and earthy browns that beg for a houseplant jungle. Just remember, the key is to balance your bold hues with neutrals like cream, black, or wood tones to avoid sensory overload.

Pattern
Geometric shapes, floral prints, and groovy swirls – the 70s were a kaleidoscope of patterns. Embrace the pattern play, but remember, a little restraint goes a long way. Start small with statement rugs, throw pillows, or accent walls.
