1970s Wallpaper: Funky Vibes and Warm Motifs – A Dive into an Iconic Style

The 1970s... a decade of disco balls, flared trousers, platform shoes and boundless self-expression. That freedom was clearly reflected in interiors, with wallpaper as a bold, central feature.

In the seventies, wallpaper became grand and expressive: graphic, warm and daring. An explosion of earthy tones, hypnotic geometry, oversized florals and a general feeling of visual comfort. No longer just a background, but a true personal statement.
