The ‘ 70s are back in style.
Before you cringe conjuring up visions of avocado kitchens and orange shag carpet, know that updates give these midcentury-inspired pieces the modernity they crave. The trick to keeping them from looking dated or theatrical is to find pieces in updated silhouettes. Here are a few to make your next room design super groovy.
Annika Throw ($129)
Made from combed and recycled cotton sourced in North Carolina, Room & Board’s Annika throw adds instant texture to any room. The classic waffle weave offers depth, while the warm brown tones ground it. Toss it over a brown or mustard sofa to stay within the palette.

Arteriors Turin Side Table ($1,625)
Contemporary and sculptural in style, the Arteriors Turin Side Table is functional while nodding to the past. A muted jade green shade veers the color towards neutral, and the high-shine lacquer effect adds visual interest. Practical in nature and highly architectural, it’s the best of both worlds.
