[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]we just bought a 1970s house. While I'm decorating/renovation to keep within the general style, the 70s was not the height of good design. The mauve bathroom is definitely not staying.

I am trying to stick with the general lines of the house, and not to do fussy. I think my favorite furniture/period is art deco, but I can only do that  in a limited way. [/quote]
I have a mod 1970s house (it’s not mid century mod, but it’s definitely more mod than traditional) and I have tried to crack that nut. The 1970s were also heavily inspired by the 1940s, and another type of style that works well in our age of home is upscale modern from the 60s and 70s. Billy Haines’s work https://www.williamhaines.com/ Betty and Gerald Ford’s Palm Springs house was built in 1973; this is the updated version so you can see how to incorporate elements of the 1970s. https://www.townandcountrymag.com/style/home-decor/a27547641/inside-gerald-ford-betty-ford-house/

(Keep the mauve bathroom, at least elements of it!)[/quote]
