1970s Scandi

Scandinavian inspired interior design trends have been a popular choice in many homes over the past few years. Their simplicity in style and elegant cosiness have made them a perfect choice for both modern and traditional home interiors. This year is going to see a rise in 1970s SCANDI home interiors that bring together classic Scandinavian chicness and elegance and teams it with some retro and vintage inspired furniture, colour palettes and accessories that are sure to create a feature in any room of the home.

Colour palettes for a 1970s inspired Scandi home should have a natural and simplistic base with hints of vintage colour. Start wit a simple base of cream, biscuit and beige and include some more tonal shades of mocha and taupe to add some depth to your chosen room. Soft and muted mustard and burnt orange look great within this interior trend and can be used to create zoned areas of colour within your interior space. You could also include some cool blue and mint tones that will create a more glacial feel to your Scandinavian home interior. Include some retro and vintage patterned wallpaper on a main feature wall featuring vintage leaf patterns or bold geometric prints that are sure to create some eye-catching style within your home.

Keep your fabrics and upholstery simple with elegant cotton and linen materials. Create a mix and match of light and natural colours, deep and rich chocolate hues and bright mustard and orange tones that will create depth within your interior space. Team some bold geometric patterned curtains with plain cushions and rugs that will look great positioned on a light grey, cream or white vintage sofa to create visual detail within your living room area. Alternatively opt for simple clean lines with some grey cotton cushions on matching upholstery and you could even add a few faux fur cushions in a scattered design with a deep shag pile rug for added texture and cosiness. You could also bring some 1970s Scandinavian style to your bedroom interior with some geometric patterned bedding or botanical print sheets that will create a vintage elegance with the cosiness of Scandi design.

Vintage furniture is a hot trend for 2019 so you should have no problem finding replica items across the high street that will look great in a 1970s Scandi interior. Nests of cool geometric tables with wooden legs and painted tops will look great nestled beside a vintage sofa and can be co-ordinated with retro dining chairs in angular styles that can be displayed in simple soft white, cream and grey or bold orange, blue or yellow. Include some funky 1970s inspired accessories such as acrylic globe ceiling pendants in bold colour palettes and retro armed lamps with coloured shades that can be used to create a zoned area of light within the room. Team with a selection of botanical or retro patterned lamps and ornaments that will look great scattered around the room.
