Obsessed with '70s Décor? Here Are 5 Instagram Accounts You Should Be Following

The ’70s is responsible for many great cultural resets, but it’s the interiors of the era we can’t stop thinking about.

The earthy, organic style of 1970s home décor makes it the perfect throwback for our current productivity-obsessed era. We’re all prone to a bit of nostalgia, yearning for cosy comfort and, courtesy of increased WFH structures, committed to creating a perfect sanctuary at home. Is it any wonder we’re infatuated with the ’70s for interior design cues?

Picture wall-to-wall carpet, shag-pile rugs and wood-panelled walls – plus the quintessential ’70s architectural feature, the conversation pit—are all a really big mood at the moment and resonating with millennials and Gen Z-ers more than ever. Meanwhile, the magic of mid-century modern reinterpreted through a contemporary lens continues to be a favoured aesthetic for home updates both big and small (see: Scarlett Stevens’ striking ‘70s-inpsired home).

If you’re obsessed with ’70s décor as much as we are, here are five Instagram accounts you really should be following.

@circa______70s

A trove of found archival imagery, this account is an addictive visual feed of home interiors from yesteryear. From Pierre Paulin’s iconic mushroom and tongue chairs, to designs by Brazilian architect, professor, and design pioneer Julio Roberto Katinsky, you’ll be saving every image to your personal Instagram inspiration folder.

@ettoresottsass

Curated by New York-based furniture advisor, collector and curator Raquel Cayre, this is a tribute account to Ettore Sottsass, the renowned Italian architect behind design icons like the "Ultrafragola" mirror and the "Nefertiti" writing desk. But it's not only Sottsass' work featured. You'll also find a mood board of the most colourful and irreverent 20th century home décor and design, and a diverse resource for a more relaxed, '70s-inspired approach to interior style.

@70sworship

Seventies stans will love this account and its self-described "maximalist millennial mood". Featuring vintage photos of lush ’70s lounge rooms and the occasional celeb appearance (Cher in a blue jumpsuit, Raquel Welch as a sexy nun), the posts are also lovingly arranged by colour. Scrolling back slowly to the account's first ever post is therefore a perfectly soothing activity for your lunch break. What makes this one a must-follow, however, is the nuggets of historical information provided in the captions—you've seen Aaron Donner's "Pleasure Island" waterbed before but now you know how it came to be, thanks to @70sworship.

@daughterofthe70s

Nothing says "welcome to the ’70s " like a denim lounge. This playful Instagram account posts spreads from ’70s-era books and magazines as well as retro ads with groovy typography galore. It's the perfect resource for niche images to spark ideas – not necessarily to follow precisely. Whether you're after visual references for floral patterns, bright colours, shag carpet, oversized sofas or the all-important conversation pit, you'll likely find what you're looking for right here.

If you want a taste of everyday life in the 70s alongside iconic interiors, this account has you covered. From vintage film holiday snaps, to beautiful and bizarre fashions of the era, and even retro erotica – you'll find yourself pining for a 'simpler time' as you scroll this amber-hued feed. If you're interested in the weirdest and most wonderful design to come out of the 70s, you'll find it here – take the PRATONE chair, conceived in 1971 by Giorgio Ceretti, Pietro Derossi, and Riccardo Rosso, for example. And that's just the beginning.
