Bold Colors
Nothing screams 1970’s more than large vibrant patterns, bright colors, shag rugs, bean bag chairs and macrame accents. The 70’s were a time of individuality and self-expression and what some may be considered “the decade that taste forgot” especially in home decor.
But to completely omit the 70’s, we wouldn’t have our favorite memories like, disco, mood rings, Atari, and the station wagon.
Signature Look
Instead, if you’re looking for that timeless, crisp, clean look, white will never give that “dated” look from a certain era.
While some may feel white is “boring” we think that couldn’t be further from the truth. White is clean and vibrant with endless decorating ideas.
The decor of a room really can pop against a simple white room. Adding neutral colors, an accent wall, a bright piece of furniture or accessories go a long way to warm up a room.
Layering different materials in a similar shade adds visual interest without overstimulating. Think shiplap.
White and More White
It’s important to note all white paint is not created equal. So, please don’t grab the cheapest “white paint”, at your local Home Depot Store. You may not get that beautiful, signature Fixer Upper look you’re going for.
Instead look for whites with blue or yellow undertones, here are the latest premier interior paint from Joanna Gaines.
Minimalist
Overtime, our homes may overwhelm us with clutter. You may need to have clever storage spaces that serves several functions.
You may need to scan all your old paper photos to iCloud and donate all your books to goodwill. It’s a start.
More people choose to live a life of simplicity, today. Decluttering isn’t just for minimalist, it’s a healthy way to live your life according to this study.
It’s no wonder people are obsessed with the bare walled, uncluttered, minimalist homes, trending on Instagram and Pinterest. People are saying good-bye to their clutter and embracing clean living!

1970’s seemed like a fun era, but wow the colors was just awful. I think I’ll stick with the classic white look. As you mention it is timeless.
