Retro is fashionable and it's easy to see why. The 70’s era was all about bold colors, unique shapes, and eclectic art that had never been seen before.

How To Re-Design Your Home With Retro Themes
Re-designing your home with retro themes isn't as difficult as you might think—it just requires some research and creativity! Start by gathering inspiration from magazines, TV shows, and Pinterest boards. Once you have an idea of what kind of 70’s theme you'd like to use in your house, start shopping around for furniture pieces or decorative items that fit into this aesthetic category. For example, opt for vintage-style armchairs or colorful area rugs that add texture and color to any room in your house. Lastly, don’t be afraid to experiment with different patterns and textures—the more eclectic the better!

We laughed as this was the 90’s.
