Minimalists, brace yourselves: patterned sofas aren't going away. Deeply associated with the '70s, these playful furnishings elevate the ordinary into a statement of warmth, personality, and whimsy. They're a retro staple that's destined to come back again and again.

The actress has always been effortlessly cool and subtly ahead of trends, as evidenced by her choice of living room sofa in 1977. A photoshoot in her Beverly Hills home reveals a subtly floral-patterned couch complemented by artwork and two round decorative pillows (I'm partial to these Evelyn Prelonge Snowball Pillows from Fig Linens and Home for a similar look).
