Five Trends Making a
Comeback Today
(BPT) - Disco may be dead, but the spirit
of the 1970s is not. In homes all across the
country, people are adding their own splash
of ‘70s style in updated, modern ways.
More Macramé, Please
From dip dyed wall hangings to simple
plant hangers, macramé is coming back
in a big way. Whether you purchase these
items already made or you enroll in a class
to make them yourself, macramé offers an
easy way to add texture and an artistic touch
to your home. Groovy Colors
The blazing orange walls of the ‘70s may
not be back anytime soon, but homeowners
are again using more dynamic colors to
define the insides of their home. In fact,
Sherwin-Williams has named a bold, jeweltoned
blue-green color, Oceanside SW 6496,
as its 2018 color of the year. “This trendy
color is perfect for a ‘70s palette,” said
Sue Wadden, director of color marketing at
Sherwin-Williams. “The complex collision of
deep blue and green in this color is somewhat
grounding for more vibrant colors in a ‘70sinspired
palette. You can use large doses of
it on the walls and then add brighter pops
of color with orange or green a la Sherwin-
Williams Amber Wave SW 6657 or Avocado
SW 2861 on throw pillows and blankets.”
A Shagadelic Rug
Yes, shag is more than an Austin Powers
euphemism. It’s also a resurgent design trend.
Homeowners frequently purchase these cozy
rugs for children’s areas like nurseries and
playrooms. Whether sheepskin or conventional
textiles, a shag rug is something you’ll go
out of your way to walk across.
Wicker Man...and Furniture
A staple in sun porches for generations,
wicker furniture is making a big comeback
this year, from headboards and chairs to mirror
frames. Available in a wide array of colors
and shades, wicker can be used to create the
perfect centerpiece in your bedroom, living
room or, yes, even your porch.
Green Living...Literally
In the 1970s, people believed that there
was no such thing as too many plants in
their home. This affection for indoor greenery
is back, and homeowners have revitalized
confidence in their green thumbs. From
large potted plants in the corner to hanging
basket plants, green living is in and people
are loving the opportunity to create an urban
oasis of their own.
Bring a little ‘70s to your home today
From fresh colors and plants to wicker and
wool, the ‘70s are back this year, and this
modernized trend is defining homes across
the country. Now is the time to experiment,
so swing down to your local paint or furniture
store and find the perfect ‘70s accent that
fits your style. •
