70s aesthetic

Shag carpet era

The 70s aesthetic refers to the visual and cultural style of the 1970s, characterized by earth tones, burnt orange, avocado green, and harvest gold; shag carpeting; wood paneling; macramé; and geometric or psychedelic patterns.

The look extends to fashion—bell-bottoms, platform shoes, wide collars—and design elements like sunken living rooms and rattan furniture.

The café had a real 70s aesthetic going on.

Often invoked nostalgically or ironically in contemporary design.
