70s Design With A Twist! Here Are Some Ways To Inject The Disco Decade Into Your Home.
April 1st, 2024
The 70s was all about self-expression,
so what better way to show your identity in your home than taking inspiration
from the iconic era and bringing it bang up to date. With a combination of bold
colours and earthy tones added to daring patterns and reflective surfaces, you
will be sure to inject some fun into your space! So why not get inspired and
put together your own scheme inspired by the principles of the 70s…rebel
against the rules of design and create a space you fully believe in.
The Albany modern 70s colour palette:
With punchy pink and statement oranges,
this colour palette embraces colour that brings joy, perfectly suited to bold
patterns and quirky touches. Adding colour to your space is a great way to show
off your personality and makes the space feel super fun! Perfect for
entertaining and creating interiors that become a real talking point which is
totally unique to you.
Champagne – a pinky neutral.
Eastern Glow – a soft orange with pink
undertones creating a punchy peach.
Salmon – a warm orange with red undertones.
Flamingo – a vibrant, mid-tone pink
Strawberry – a bold pink with strong
red undertones.
Incorporate a full floral moment:
Whilst florals can sometimes feel old
fashioned, pairing with mid-tones and metallics can actually make them feel
super modern. Using bold designs within your scheme can give your space a real
cottage vibe that’s completely in right now without compromising on fun…and
there is plenty to choose from with Albany wallpapers!
Rivara, Amaira, Marimo and Zari from the Albany Fantasy wallpaper collection are fantastic floral designs full of vibrancy with a playful twist. You could create a feature wall, add wallpaper to furniture or if you’re feeling brave, why not wallpaper the ceiling!
Add vintage furniture:
Finding second-hand, wooden furniture and
giving them a new lease of life is a great way to incorporate a vintage feel. Using
a woodstain is the perfect way to update the colour of the piece whilst
enhancing the natural grain of the wood. Albany Original Woodstain is available
in a wide range of colours, allowing you to really personalise your pieces! We
have used Albany Original in Clear to work
with the rest of our colour palette and celebrate the furniture’s original
features.
Go bold in your accessories:
Disco balls, metallic light fixtures
and brightly coloured frames and lamps are perfect for finishing your 70s
inspired scheme and adding a touch of spirit. We are entering a new era of
design where embracing your tastes fully and filling your home with the things
you love just because you like them is not just acceptable, it’s fully on trend!
