2026 has seen the return of several design trends from the 1970s, including fringe lamps, olive green, and rattan furniture. As we march deeper into the decade, the Homes & Gardens team is on the lookout for other looks from this era that are influencing our current interiors, and my dark horse pick is paisley prints.
For proof, we turn to the definitive queen of '70s style, Candice Bergen. An archival image from 1971 shows the model and actress reclining on a stunningly stylish red paisley living room sofa. In the picture, Candice poses with her burgundy walls, fringed lamp, and striped accent chair. The whole space feels delightfully '70s, but somehow, pulled straight off our current Pinterest boards.
