Groovy Decor Trends Making a Comeback
There’s something special about walking into a room that feels like a time capsule. A little worn, wild, loud, and full of soul. You feel it before you even know why. The colours. The textures. The way everything seems to hum with life. So, ready to take a trip? If so, you’re in the right place. Let’s deep dive into the groovy decor trends making a comeback!
And hey, if you want to embrace the full flower-power lifestyle? Don’t miss how to bring 60s and 70s vibes into your life today—from fashion to mindset and more.
Back in the 60s and 70s, home decor wasn’t just decoration, it was expression. It was about feeling free. Creating a space that danced with you. Held you. Reflected your music, your moods, your magic. And guess what? All these decades later… those same groovy vibes are calling us home again.
Let’s go! And let’s take a trip back. Bold wallpaper, lava lamps, record players and all. And let’s explore a few iconic retro trends that are finding their way into our hearts (and homes) once more.
Groovy Decor Trends #1: Bold, Funky Wallpapers
These walls didn’t whisper, they sang.
Psychedelic swirls. Giant daisies. Abstract shapes in every shade of sunshine and earth. Walls weren’t meant to blend in. They were meant to celebrate being alive. In other words, dont be afraid to go bold.
Want to try it?
Bring it home today:
Try one wall with a wild retro print.
Florals, geometrics, sunbursts, whatever lights you up.
Peel-and-stick options make it easy (and totally renter-friendly!)
In fact, let your walls tell your story. Loud and proud.
Groovy Decor Trends #2: Macramé Everything
Macramé was more than a trend—it was softness, craft, and soul knotted into every thread.
Hand-knotted. Homemade. Hung with love.
Above all, Macramé was more than a trend, it was a statement of softness. It brought texture, care, and human hands into the home.
Need a modern twist?
Add a dreamy macramé wall hanging or plant holder.
Use it as a divider for small spaces or hang it by your bed like a handmade dream. On top of that, it adds a dreamy texture to any room.
DIY one if you’re feeling crafty, it’s meditative and magical!
It was more than decor—it was soul. Just like the hippie movement that inspired it all.
Groovy Decor Trends #3: Sunken Living Rooms & Conversation Pits
Back when living rooms meant vinyl, deep convos, and no phones—just people and vibes.
These weren’t just cool, they were invitations.
To sit close. Talk deep. Laugh until midnight. Dont have a pit? No problem. Even if you don’t have the built-in pit, the idea lives on: make space for connection.
Create the feeling today:
Floor cushions, a shag rug, and a circle of warmth.
Low lights, incense, vinyl spinning.
A no-phones zone. Just people, vibes, and music.
Groovy Decor Trends #4: Rattan & Wicker Goodness
Rattan and wicker brought the outside in—with sunshine, soul, and earthy vintage charm.
Natural. Light. Honest.
These textures brought the outside in, wrapped in golden hour vibes.
Want to weave it in today?
To begin, start with a rattan chair, woven baskets, or a pendant lamp.
Mix with linen, plants, and secondhand treasures.
Let it feel lived-in, not showroom perfect.
The beauty’s in the imperfections. And that’s just one of the reasons these groovy decor trends are making a comeback!
5. Groovy Decor Disco Balls & Lighting That Dances
Lighting that sparkled, shimmered, and made every night feel like a groovy celebration.
Because light isn’t just for seeing, it’s for feeling.
Lava lamps. Coloured bulbs. Glittering disco balls that threw stardust across the room.
Bring the sparkle:
Hang a mini disco ball by the window, instant sunshine sparkles.
Switch to warm-toned bulbs, add candles, layer soft lighting. Fairy lights!
Let your space shimmer!
Groovy Decor Trends #6: Vinyl Lives Here
Music wasn’t in the background, it was the heartbeat of the home.
A record spinning. A favourite album leaning against the wall. That crackle before the first note. It made everything feel real.
Want to keep the rhythm alive?
To keep the spirit spinning, put your record player on display, make it a shrine.
Stack your favourite albums somewhere you can see them.
Create a corner for music, joy, and sacred sounds!

Final Thoughts: Decor With Soul
So there you have it! Groovy decor trends making a comeback! 60s and 70s decor wasn’t about having a picture-perfect home.
It was about having a space that made you feel alive. A place where the walls danced, the furniture hugged you, and everything around you felt like you.
And the best part? Today, we get to bring that back!
We get to let go of trends and tap into vibes.
We get to create spaces that feel like love.
So whether you start with a lava lamp or fully lean into flower-power paradise, trust your instincts.
And if you’re craving more vintage soul, take a trip into the joy of analog living—a world where the vibes were warmer and life was slower.
After all, let your home be a song.
And let it play loud.
Peace and Love ✌🏽
