The furniture, color schemes and patterns of this era continue to inspire modern designers, especially in the luxury interior design space. Incorporating '60s and '70s influences into luxury interior design can create a timeless look that is both nostalgic and chic.
Color Schemes
One of the most distinctive features of the '60s and '70s was the use of bold and bright colors. The color palettes of this era were characterized by bright oranges, yellows, greens, blues and pinks. To incorporate these colors into luxury interior design, one approach could be to use them in accents such as throw pillows, area rugs and art pieces. A statement piece of furniture like a vibrant sofa can also add a touch of retro glamour to a room.
Pattern Play
This time period was also known for their iconic patterns. Geometric patterns, stripes, florals and psychedelic prints were all popular during this era. To bring this retro vibe into a luxury interior design, consider incorporating patterned wallpaper, curtains or textiles. A bold geometric rug, a flower power accent chair or a funky patterned lampshade can also add a touch of vintage glam.

Furniture
Furniture from the era was often characterized by clean lines, curves and organic shapes. Pieces like Eames lounge chairs, Saarinen tulip tables and vintage leather sofas are all classic examples of furniture from this era. To incorporate this style into luxury interior design, consider investing in a statement piece of furniture that embodies the clean lines and organic shapes of the era. Pairing vintage furniture with modern pieces can also create a balanced and eclectic look.
Lighting
Lighting played a key role in '60s and '70s interior design, and iconic designs like the Sputnik chandelier and the Arco floor lamp continue to be popular today. To incorporate this retro vibe into a luxury interior design, consider investing in a statement lighting fixture that embodies the bold and futuristic aesthetic of the era.
Accessories
Accessories are the perfect way to add a touch of retro glam to a luxury interior design. Vintage record players, lava lamps and globes are all classic accessories from this era that can be incorporated into a modern interior. Other accessories like vintage mirrors, clocks and decorative objects can also add a touch of nostalgia to a space.
