The architecture of the time favored interior second-floor balconies or domed ceilings, and sunken seating areas. The main aim was to create homes that were joyful, carefree and funky, while at the same time very comfortable and with smart architectural solutions.
But the 70s also found its expression in high-tech plastic, tubular steel, vinyl and chrome used for radical and experimental furniture designs in vivid colors that created a space-age look. Italian designers were especially famous for the innovative design of chairs and office furniture mostly made of plastic. Leather bean bag chairs and floor pillows were a huge thing, as well as built-in desks and beds.
Arc-style floor lamps, lava lamps or big white globe lamps were invented. But the Technicolor decade, whose major symbol was the rainbow, had regrettable ideas too. Perhaps the most disagreeable were the popcorn ceiling, the water bed, and the peacock chair. Nevertheless, if you reduce the psychedelic embellishments and eclecticism and reduce it to a stylish balance, home décor of the 1970s can offer a lot of inspiring, groovy solutions that will make your home beautiful.
