4. Make an impact with color

When many of us think of 70s interior design, we are struck by bright and bold spaces that embrace an impactful use of color.

Adventurous room color ideas and more maximalist decor ideas have definitely taken center-stage in 2023, with many of us taking bigger risks with color in our homes in order to create spaces that feel more reflective of our style and personality. 

If you want to inject a playful element of color into your home without painting the walls, then get creative with your accessories instead.
