When it comes to colours, they weren&#8217;t exactly the most varied and extensive, but the palettes, made up of browns, oranges, mustards and other earthy colours, worked well together.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.retroplanet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/07\/70s_diningroom.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"800\" align=\"none\" \/><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span size=\"1\" style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\">image source:\u00a0<\/span><a style=\"font-family: Cambria, serif; line-height: normal;\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.retroplanet.com\/1970s-decorating-style\/\">http:\/\/blog.retroplanet.com\/1970s-decorating-style\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\">\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"line-height: 150%;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span size=\"3\" style=\"font-size: medium;\">Again much like the 60&#8217;s, <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.retroplanet.com\/1970s-decorating-style\/\">the 70&#8217;s style was very laid back and easy-going<\/a>.
